PHANEROTOMA ERYTHROCEPHALA. new species. 



In structure this species falls near tibialis Haldeman, but may 

 readily be distinguished by the sides of the propodeum being more 

 coarsely sculptured than the mesepisternum and by the reddish head 

 and black thorax and abdomen. 



Female. — Length, 5 mm. Head rounded behind the eyes, the 

 cephal caudad length of the posterior orbits about two-thirds the 

 diameter of the eye; eyes strongly convex, oval; malar space slightly 

 longer than the width of the mandibles at base but much less than 

 the length of the eye; clypeus shining, more convex basally, the 

 apical margin tridentate; supraclypeal fovea poorly defined, the 

 interfoveal line shorter than the length of the clypeus; face rather 

 coarsely sculptured with irregular lines and granulations; frons and 

 vertex with irregular (mostly transverse) lines; ocelli in an equi- 

 lateral triangle; notauli obsolete; scutum granular with a few scat- 

 tered punctures, the posterior middle reticulate; scutellum punc- 

 tured on a granular surface; dorsal surface of propodeum irregu- 

 larly punctured and with a few irregular lines: mesepisternum 

 granular, with a few punctures posteriorly; sides of propodeum 

 more coarsely sculptured than mesepisternum; carapace nearly uni- 

 formly coarsely reticulate; recurrent interstitial; nervulus and 

 second abscissa of discoideus forming an acute angle; first and 

 second abscissa of radius subequal. Black ; head, except interocellar 

 area, scape, pedicellum, prothorax, tegulae, ferruginous; legs ferrugi- 

 nous, apices of hind femora and tibiae blackish ; wings hyaline with- 

 out bands, costa, subcosta and stigma black; rest of venation pale 

 brown. 



Male. — Length 5 mm. Characters as in female. 



This species varies in the amount of ferruginous on the prothorax 

 and in having the first abscissa of radius slightly shorter than the 

 second. 



Type-locality. — Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Described from two 

 females and one male (allotype) with Bureau of Entomolog}^ number 

 Hopk. U.S.10857/, which refers to note stating that this species is 

 probably a parasite of Laspeyresia toruta living in the cones of Pinus 

 ponderosa. Material collected by J. J. Lowell and reared by J. M. 

 Miller. 



Type.—Q^t. No. 20174, U.S.N.M. 



MACRONEURA URICHII, new species. 



This species is apparently closely allied to Macroneura consohrinus 

 (Szepligeti), from which it can be easily distinguished by the longer 

 ovipositor and pale four anterior legs.
