CEYPTOIDEUS FASCIATUS (Ashmead). 



Brachycentrus fasciatus Ashmead, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 12, 1890, p. 



413. 

 HelcosUsiis fasciatus (Ashmead) Dajlla Torbe, Cat. Hym., vol. 3, 1902, p. 



395. 



Closel}^ allied to ntfus Cushman, described above, from which its 

 type differs principally as follows : Head behind eyes distinctly wider 

 than eyes; eyes parallel within; lower temples as long as greatest 

 eye width, striato-punctate; clypeus obtusely pointed; apical carina 

 of propoedum obsolete medially, discocubitus angulate distinctly 

 before the middle. 



Colored like rufus except that there is a large black spot in the 

 middle of the frons and the ocellar area, the occiput, propleura and 

 front coxae are almost entirely black, and the abdomen is obscurely 

 black at apex. 



Subfamily Ichneumoninae (Pimplinae). 



Genus GLYPTA Gravenhorst. 



GLYPTA MUTICA, new species. 



In Cresson's key ^ to the species of Glypta runs directly to vulgaris 

 Cresson and is very similar to that species, differing from a typical 

 example practically only as follows : 



Female. — Length, 7 mm. ; antennae, 5 mm. ; ovipositor, 4.75 mm. 



Head without a horn medially just above the insertion of the 

 antennae; temples strongly rounded; occipital carina subangulate 

 medially; cheeks slightly convex; malar space shorter than basal 

 width of mandible; notauli very weakly impressed; propodeum 

 shorter, the posterior face very abrupt, fully two-thirds as long as 

 dorsal, apical carina very strong, others, especially the anterior 

 transverse and lateral carinae, weaker ^ ; metapleura scarcely longer 

 than high ; apical lateral impressions of tergites obsolete ; ovipositor 

 distinctly longer than abdomen. 



Black with scutellum, mesosternum, mesopleura (except space below 

 wings), and metapleura (entirely), red; mandibles, clypeus, tegulae, 

 wing-bases, dorsal margin of pronotum at the side, and a spot imme- 

 diately below the tegula white; antennae black, brownish at tip ; front 

 and middle legs basally stramineous, the trochanters, base of femur 

 and tibia, except apical and subbasal fuscous annuli, nearly white, 

 their tarsi slightly infuscate with the joints whitish at base, femora 

 otherwise pale rufo-testaceous ; hind coxae and femora rufo-testa- 

 ceous, the latter blackish at apex, trochanters whitish, the basal joint

* Occasionally in both this species and vulgris Cresson all of the propodeal carinae 

 except the apical and median longitudinal are obsolete. From Cresson's description of 

 vulgaris this is evidently the case with the type.
