ART. 21. NEW SPECIES OF ICHNEUMOX-FLIES CUSHMAN. 7 



The cocoon of the type is nearly cylindrical with rounded ends, 

 11 mm. long by 2.5 mm. thick. It is semitransparent brown. At a 

 short distance from each end is a series of several opaque longitudi- 

 nal marks each about 1 mm. long. At the mesal end of each of these 

 is a small whitish patch from which the marking extends toward 

 the end of the cocoon apparently as a welt on the inner surface of 

 the cocoon.

The types of both Ashmead's and Viereck's names are in the Na- 

 tional Collection. That of nehraskensis is from Nebraska; that of 

 alhopictus from Illinois, while specimens labeled hellus are from 

 New York and Connecticut, the former being those on which the 

 Insect Life record of the rearing from Tolype velleda was based. 

 Specimens reared from the same host at Obelisk, Pennsylvania, have 

 recently been received from A. B. Champlain of the Pennsylvania 

 Department of Agriculture. 



Subfamily Ichneumoniae. 



LABENA SCHAUSI, new species. 



Has the wings colored as in gloriosa Cresson, but because of its 

 lack of the lateral carinae on the face and the sparse punctuation of 

 the mesoscutum it runs in Eohwer's key° close to confusa Eohwer, 

 from which it differs markedly in color and in other characters.
