ART. 4. NEW SPECIES OF ICHNEUMON-FLIES — CUSHMAN. 7 



latter coriaceous before the basal carina; apical carina complete; 

 areolet not convergent toward radius; discocubitus practically 

 straight. First tergite subpolished, faintly shagreened, postpetiole 

 laterally roughened and opaque; abdomen otherwise subopaque the 

 earlier tergites strongly, closely punctate. 



Coal black; wings dilutely infumate. 



Host. — S'phenopho7ms pertinax Olivier. 



Type locality. — Flushing, New York. 



Type.— Cdit. No. 25917, U.S.N.M. 



One specimen reared April 30, 1920, from material collected Octo- 

 ber 13, 1919, by A. F. Satterthwaite. 



CRYPTOIDEUS ANTHRACINUS, new species. 



Because of its entirely black color and short malar space, runs in 

 my key to species best to agrili (Viereck) ; but the spiracles are 

 slightly oval, the temples slightly narrower than the eyes, the ster- 

 nauli more distinct, the apical propodeal carina complete, and the 

 ovipositor longer. It also differs in several of the following char- 

 acters. From hituminosus it is at once distinguished by its f asciate 

 wings and annulated antennae. 



Female. — Length 12 mm.; antennae 8 mm.; ovipositor 5 mm. 



Head coarsely and confluently punctuate throughout, the sculp- 

 ture becoming more or less rugulose on temples; temples slightly 

 narrower than eyes ; malar space distinctly shorter than basal width 

 of mandible, granular; clypeus polished at apex, the apical tooth 

 strong; cheeks buccate; basal joint of flagellum very slightly longer 

 than second; apical joint cylindrical, truncate at apex. Thorax 

 coarsely punctate, confluently so on sides of pronotum and on pleura, 

 the punctures on mesoscutum, especially laterally, and on scutellum 

 separated, the interspaces polished; notauli and sternauli distinct; 

 propodeum basad of basal carina polished and sparsely punctate, 

 apicad of the carina coarsely reticulatelj'^ rugose, apical carina strong 

 on angles, weak and irregular medially; spiracles very broadly 

 oval; disocubitus subangulate just basad of middle; intertubiti 

 convergent above. Abdomen finely, opaquely shagreened; tergites 

 2-4 also densely punctate; petiole broadly flattened above, medially 

 ojDaque, laterally polished, postpetiole medially at apex and base of 

 second tergite, including gastrocoeli also polished; ovipositor sheath 

 nearly as long as abdomen. 



Black ; posterior orbits and tibiae slightly reddish ; flagellum with 

 white annulus; wings hyaline with distinct stigmal and apical fas- 

 ciae. 



Host. — Saperda ohliqua Say. 



Type locality. — Lyme, Connecticut.
