MONOGRAPH OF THE NORTH AMERICAN PROCTOTKYriDyE. 133 



Le^s pubescent, the posterior coxiTB pilose behind; the hist joint of 

 posterior tarsi about twice as long as the second. 



This genus is very closely allied to Ceraphron Jurine and it requires 

 great care to separate it from that genus. The frons is more convex, 

 the facial impression less distinct, the scutellum longer and convex, 

 without teeth at base of metathorax ; while, as a rule, the metathoracic 

 angles are less distinct. 



Synarsis Forster, seems to be without doubt identical, his type S. 

 pulla being evidently a small species of ApJiano<jnius, without the cen- 

 tral mesonotal furrow and with the head held horizontally, a position 

 often assumed by many species in the group. 



All the species known are minute and could easily be mistaken for 

 species in the tribe Telenomini in the subfamily Scelionincv. 



The species known to me in our fauna may be separated by the aid 

 of the following table :
