MONOGRAPH OF THE NORTH AMERICAN PROCTOTRYPIDiE. 75 



tbau half the length of the first branch of the basal nervure. Abdo- 

 men cyliudric-ovate, a little longer than the head and thorax nnited. 



In the $ the middle and posterior tibiie are pale brown, the abdo- 

 men being shorter than the head and thorax united. 



Habitat. — Florida and District of Columbia. 



Types in National Museum and Coll. Ashmead. 



The species is closely allied to G. platiinotw^ but its slightly smaller 

 and more slender form, the subhyaline wings, and tlie black stigma 

 and parastigina, readily distinguish it. 



The National Mnseum contains a specimen, reared April 14, 1882, at 

 Georgiana, Fla., from a tineid larva in dry fungus. 



Goniozus platynotae, sp. nov. 



(Pl.iv, Fig.8,9.) 

 $ 9 . Length, 3'"™. Black, shining, very sparsely lulose; head with 

 a prominent keel between the antenna?, microscopically closely punctn- 

 late, with a few larger punctures scattered irregularly over the surface,

 rior femora vary from a dark brown to black, the middle and posterior 

 femora in S brownish only in the middle; in the female the mandibles

 brownish. 



AntenuiB 13-jointed, extending to the tegLihie (in $ a little shorter),

 lar joint; all the flagellar joints but the last moniliform, the last oval. 

 Metathorax smooth, with a delicate nuMlian carina, and carinated along 

 the lateral margins. 



Wings hyaline, the i^arastigma and stigma large, brown, the latter 

 twice as long as wide, rest of the nervures pale yellow; the first basal

 from Platynota sentana.
