 NOMIC NOTES. 



By E. A. CusHMAN, 



Of the Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture. 



This paper consists of the description of one new tribe, two new 

 genera, and 11 new species of Ichneumonidae, and 5 new species of 

 Braconidae, together with notes on synonymy and generic transfers. 



The types of all new species are in the United States National 

 Museum. 



Family ICHNEUMONIDAE. 



Subfamily Joppinae. 

 Genus HYMENOCAMAROTA, new name. 



Camarota Kriechbaumer (1898), preoccupied by Camarota Meigen (1830). 



AMBLYTELES YAKUTATENSIS (Ashmead). 



Plectocryptus yakutatensis Ashmead, Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci., vol. 4, 1902, 



p. 183, pi. 9, fig. 6. 

 Plectocryptus popofensis Ashmead, Proc. AVash. Acad. Sci., vol. 4, 1902,

This is simply an {Ic/uieiwion) =Amhlyteles with long ovipositor. 

 Ashmead separated his two types by the number of antennal joints 

 and the color of the flagellum, both variable. In a series of seven 

 specimens, including both types, the antennae vary from 24 to 27 

 jointed; the costulae also vary from entirely absent to distinct. 



The ovipositor sheath is hairy only at tip, being otherwise polished. 



It is closely related to Cratichneumon popofenis Ashmead and con- 

 fusus Ashmead described in the same paper. The latter is very likely 

 the male of the present species. 



PLATYLABUS P13LCHER, new gpeciei. 



Runs in the keys of both Cresson^ and Bradley^ to lineolatus 

 Provancher. From the description of that species it differs in having 

 an interruption in the orbital mark about opposite the nnterior
