 from the original description of which it differs as follows: Front 

 with a scoop-shaped process; mandibles black, clypeus pale only at 

 apex, antennse virtually black throughout; base of hind femora not 

 blackish, hind tibiae mostly black or blackish, pale beneath except at 

 apex and near base, where they are blackish; propodeum almost 

 devoid of carinje, distinctly punctured, the apical transverse carina 

 developed laterally, median longitudinal carina present only at base 

 of propodeum. 



Male. — Essentially as in the female; median longitudinal carinse 

 more or less completely developed, and the apical transverse carina 

 better defined. 



Type.— C&t. No. 14326, U.S.N.M. 



Type-locality. — Maniwaki, Quebec, Canada. 



Received through the same channels as the Apanteles {Apanteles) 

 fvmiferanse, described on another page of this paper. Paratypes 

 examined came from Duncans and Esquimault, British Columbia, 

 Canada. 



PHYGADEUON (DIROPHANES) PLESIUS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 8 mm. Compared with the original description 

 of Phygadeuon (Bathymetis) spinicoxus Viereck, this s; ecies differs as 

 follows: Clypeus rather separated from the face by a shallow furrow; 

 distance between lateral ocelli if anything a little less than that 

 between the same and the nearest eye margin; antennse 30-jointed, 

 second joint of flagel about as long as the first; basal area nearly 

 crowded out, nearly three times as wide as long, areola six-sided, 

 almost horse-hoof shaped; hind femora hardly tlii'ee times as long 

 as greatest width; second dorsal segment without a transverse 

 impressed line in the middle and with gastrocoeli; carinse of basal 

 segment extending to the spiracles, but not beyond, black; face, 

 excepting clypeus, which is black, and checks mostly reddish; first 

 eight joints of antemia) brownish, the next five joints mostly or 

 entirely yellowish, the remaining joints from brownish to blackish; 

 mandibles stramineous tinged with reddish and tipped with black; 

 coxae black tipped with brown, trochanters, mid and fore femora 

 brown, more or less infuscated, hind femora black with reddish 

 brown base and apex, tibiae and tarsi more or less brownish, petiole 

 and last three segments of abdomen more or less blackish. 



Type.—C2it. No. 14327, U.S.N.M. 



Type-locality. — Maniwaki, Quebec, Canada. 



Recei"^^ed from the same source as Apanteles (Apanteles) fumif- 

 eranse. 



Bathymetis spinicoxus Viereck is probably also referable to this 

 subgenus.
