ART. 20. ICHNEUMON-FLTES OF TRIBE PANISCINI CUSHMAN. 33 



Testaceous; face, clypeus, frons, vertex, and orbits yellow; faint 

 traces of this color in notauli, margins of mesoscutum, scutellum, and 

 around wing bases; antennae concolorous, infuscate apically; wings 

 hyaline, venation blackish, stigma and costa pale; legs concolorous, 

 tarsi slightly paler, 



Male. — Essentially like female; but abdomen more slender, api- 

 cal tarsal joints shorter, and claws somewhat more densely pectinate 

 especially at apex. 



Type-locality. — Washington, District of Columbia. 



AUotypr-locality. — Virginia. 



Type.— Cat. No. 25990, U.S.N.M. 



Described from twenty-four females and five males ranging from 

 the vicinity of Washington and Connecticut west to Texas and Kan- 

 sas, and represented from the following States and localities: Dis- 

 trict of Columbia; Virginia, Arlington, Falls Church (W. Middleton, 

 August 21, 1914), Vienna (VV. F. Turner, May 12, 1913), Cranesville 

 (R. P. Currie, July 21, 1914), Charlottesville; Connecticut, Hartford 

 (July 26, 1894); North Carolina, Pysiton and Langdale (H. H. 

 Smith); Texas, Wolfe City (F. C. Bishopp, May, 1906)^ Tyler (F. C. 

 Pratt, May 5, 1905), Victoria (J. D. Mitchell, April 19, 1913, and 

 October 28, on Heleninm species), Cotulla (F. C. Pratt, April 15, 

 1908), Kerrville (F. C. Pratt, April 11, 1907); Kansas, Riley County 

 (Marlatt, September), Wellington (E. G. Kelly). 



This series exhibits wide range in size, the largest being 17 mm. 

 and the smallest 11 mm. in length. In the smaller specimens the 

 ocelli are somewhat more distant from the eyes and the apical tarsal 

 joints and first tergite relatively shorter. 



One of the specimens from Victoria, Texas, a very small female, 

 has the vertex piceous, possibly due to staining. 



PANISCUS NEOMEXICANUS, new species. 



Very close to .'^pinipes Cushman and agreeing in nearly every 

 respect with the description of that species; but the antennae are 

 distinctly longer with more slender joints, the legs distinctly less 

 conspicuously spiny, the ocelli nearly contiguous with eyes, the 

 thorax nearly polished, and the first tergite more than four times as 

 long as broad at apex. 



Type-locality. — Bernalillo Count}'-, New Mexico, 



TVpe.— Cat. No. 25991, U.S.N.M. 



One female taken by B. Brown in June, 1896. 



PANISCUS UNGUICULARIS, new species. 



Remarkable principally for its very long, slender apical tarsal 

 joints and very large, many-toothed claws. 

 Female. — Length 20 mm.; antennae 20 mm.
