the middle, and in the kind tibiae being almost entirely testaceous. 

 As in ^. cassianus Riley the facial Une is apparently shorter than the 

 transfacial line, the first dorsal plate is distinctly narrower at apex 

 than at base and less than twice as long as wide at base; the first 

 and second plates are mostly smooth; the propodeum smooth and 

 without a median longitudinal carina and the hind coxse and their 

 femora black.

APANTELES (PROTAPANTELES) HESPERIDIVORUS, new species. 



Female. —Length, 1.75 mm.; related to Apanteles (Protapanteles) 

 cramhi Weed, with which it agrees in the head being apparently wider 

 than long, in the vertical diameter of the thorax being apparently equal 

 to the horizontal diameter, in the absence of a carinate fold between 

 mesopleurse and mesosternum, in the first plate being wider at apex 

 than at base and wider at apex than the second plate is long down 

 the middle, in the third dorsal segment being Adrtually sculptureless 

 at base, in the stramineous or at least pale, tegulse, in the hind coxse 

 being mostly black or blackish tipped with stramineous, and in the 

 second plate being sculptured all over. It differs most tangibly in 

 the uniformly dark brown to blackish antennae, in the almost impunc- 

 tate, polished scutel, in the black or blackish dorsal segments of the 

 abdomen, and the presence of a median welt on the second plate. 



Type-locality. — East River, Connecticut. 



Type.— Cat. No. 14727, U.S.N.M. 



The specimens examined are labeled, "reared from a skipper larva 

 on oak, August 5, 1910, Chas. R. Ely." 



The characters in the male paratopot3''pe are essentially as in the 

 female. 



The cocoons are white, covered with loose silk and loosely grouped. 



APANTELES (PROTAPANTELES) PYRAUST.^, new species. 



Female. — Length, 2.5 mm.; head apparently wider than long, 

 flagel wholly dark brown, and in this respect agreeing with Apan- 

 telas iProtapantelas) Iseviceps Ashmead, from vihich. it may be distin- 

 guished by the second plate not being sculptured throughout but 

 partly smooth and mostly shining; thorax not depressed, hind femora 

 mostly stramineous, with blackish tips; second plate -^athout deep 

 foveolate oblique furrows on basal half. In P. Iseviceps Ashmead, 

 as in this species, the first plate is wider at apex than the second plate 

 is long down the middle; the pleurae are not separated from the
