 Aphycus angelicus Howard, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 21, 1898, pp. 241, 245. 



Female. — Front and vertex nearly three times as long as wide, 

 slightly wider anteriorly, the dorsal orbits of eyes diverging; ocelli 

 in an acute-angled triangle, the lateral pah about half their own 

 diameter from eye margin, the front ocellus a little behind the center 

 of the front and vertex; the eyes nearly glabrous. Antennal scape 

 flattened and gradually becoming wider on apical half; pedicel but 

 little longer than the first thi'ee funicle joints combined; all funicle 

 joints distinctly wider than long and subequal in length, the fifth 

 twice as wide as the first; club oval, obliquely rounded at apex, 

 sUghtly wider at apex than the last funicle joint and as long as the 

 entire funicle. Wings uniformly cihated ; the oblique hairless streak 

 not quite reaching the posterior margin of wing, and interrupted a 

 httle below the middle; none of the veins with bristle-like hairs. 

 Ovipositor protruded about one-fifth the length of abdomen. Length : 

 0.7 to 1 mm., exclusive of ovipositor. 



Front, vertex, and mesonotum rather dull orange j^ellow, the 

 mesonotum usually somewhat dusky, with the anterior margin of 

 the scutum sometimes blackish, but the axillary sutures usually not 

 lined with black; face, cheeks, and underparts pale yellowish white, 

 the venter of abdomen slightly dusky, the cheeks with a pale fuscous, 

 narrow, transverse band following the lower orbits of eyes; the con- 

 cealed part of occiput and of pronotum, the metanotum, propodeum, 

 and dorsum of the abdomen black; collar of pronotum and tegulae 

 whitish, former witli a brown dot on each corner, latter with the 

 lower apical corner brown. Antennae excepting the club black, the 

 base of scape especially on inner surface whitish, the club snow white; 

 rarely the fifth funicle joint is also white. Legs concolorous with 

 underparts, the tarsi more yellowish, with tip of the last joint black- 

 ish; middle tibiae wdth a very faint, dusky annulus near the middle. 

 Wings with a faint brownish, integumentary, transverse cloud beyond 

 the oblic{ue hairless streak, interrupted by a narrow, transverse, hya- 

 Hne band at end of stigmal vein, and by a still narrower, longitu- 

 dinal streak following posterior margin of wing opposite the marginal 

 vein; veins pale brownish. Exserted part of ovipositor yellow, the 

 apex dusky. 



JfaZe.— Similar to the female, but the front and vertex hardly over 

 twice as long as wide; the dorsal orbits of eyes parallel; face and 

 cheeks shorter; antennae slenderer, the pedicel and club proportion- 

 ately longer, pedicel as long as the first four funicle joints, the club 

 as long as the funicle and one-half the pedicel.
