of the segment smooth and without strige; exserted portion of the 

 ovipositor 9 mm. long. 



Type-locality. — Ithaca, New York. 



Type.— Cat. No. 14723, U.S.N.M. 



Allotype. — Essentially as in the type. 



Labeled, ''reared June, 1911, from ArcJiips cerasivorana, Glenn W. 

 Herrick." A female paratype studied is labeled, "Pullman, Washing- 

 ton, No. 6618°, on Cacoecia cerasivorana, C. V. Piper, collector." 



METEORUS NIPPONENSIS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 4.5 mm. long; related to M. pulcJiricomis 

 Wesmael in structure but with the fossae of the petiole so incon- 

 spicuous as to be easily taken for the starting points of striee unless 

 magnified 35 times, also the recurrent vein is clearly received by 

 the first cubital cell; color very as in M. japonicus Ashmead. 



Type-locality. — Japan. 



Type.— Cat. No. 13082, U.S.N.M. 



Labeled, "Gip. Moth Lab. No. 1075, Jn. 30." 



MICROBRACON VESTITICIDA, new species. 



Female. — Length, 3 mm.; judging from descriptions this is related 

 to Bracon himaculatus Szepligeti and B. hinotaius Szepligeti; from 

 the former it may be known, by the smooth not wrinkled face, by 

 the subcylindrical scape, by a suggestion of parapsidal furrows, by 

 the cubital vein being straight at base, by the rather oval abdomen^ 

 by the reddish head and thorax with black stains and black meso- 

 sternum, by the yellowish metathorax and blackish propodeum, by 

 the more or less stramineous legs excepting the hind tibise and tarsi 

 which are mostly infuscated, the basal fourth of the hind tibisB 

 being pale, rather whitish stramineous, by the mostly yellowish 

 "abdomen with a blackish or dark stain down the middle on the 

 apical half and in the ovipositor which is not much longer than 

 the abdomen, resembling in this particular the latter species to 

 which it seems to be related. Wings brownish; flagel 25-jointed; 

 median carina of propodeum not reaching up to the middle but 

 prolonged almost to the base as a median welt; second segment 

 with an acutely triangular median intumescence, the apex of which 

 is prolonged as a median welt almost to the apex of the segment. 



Type-locality. — Department of Piura, Peru. 



Type.— Cat. No. 14724, U.S.N.M. 



Allotopotype. — Antennas 24-jointed; essentially as in the type. 



Labeled, "reared from Antlionomus vestitus, dept. Piura, Peru, 

 July, 1911, C. H. T. Townsend, No. 795°3^; from infested squares 

 and new bolls, dept. Piura, Peru, No. 795; and from square-weevil 

 larvae north Peru, October 23, 1910, No. 795°3a."
