 Parophionellus virginiensis Brues and Richardson, Bull. Amer. Mns. Nat. 



Hist., vol. 33, 1913, p. 495. (By generic synonymy.) 



This species is represented in the National Museum by two females 

 from Falls Church (L. A. Stearns) and Glencarlyn (C. T. Greene), 

 Virginia. 



It is ver}^ similar in structure and color to schwarzi Cushman, but 

 has the head strongly sculptured above; occipital carina strong me- 

 dially, secondary carina weak; antennae not longer than head and 

 thorax, thickened in the middle with the joints relatively much 

 shorter; mesoscutum coarsely sculptured except small polished areas 

 on the lateral lobes; pronotal and mesopleural furrows more exten- 

 sively sculptured; propodeum more distinctly reticulated; apical 

 abscissa of metacarpus barely half as long as radial cell ; intercubitus 

 obsolete; hind basitarsus distinctly swollen; ovipositor sheath 

 shorter than third tergite ; face and clypeus black medially ; venation 

 except on front margin of wing pale. 



Pharsalia albofacialis Cameron, synonymized by Morley with this 

 species, shows in the figure none of the characteristic leg markings of 

 virginiensis, and since this figure is the only description of the species 

 Morley 's synonymy is unjustified. Moreover, Morley apparently did 

 not know virginiensis., for he refers to this species specimens from 

 Mexico and Brazil said to have the antennae half as long as the body, 

 which they certainly are not in virginiensis. I am inclined to suspect 

 that he had Ophionellus fragilis Westwood or manni Brues at least 

 in his Brazilian specimen. 



HYMENOPHARSALIA FOUTSI, new species. 



More closely allied to virginiensis (Cresson) than to any of the 

 other species, but distinguishable by its entirely yellow and broader 

 face.
