642 NEW SPECIES OF BRACONID.E 



Subfamily METEORINiE. 

 METEORUS Haliday. 

 Meteorus coquilletti n. sp. 



Male. — Length, 3f mm . Pale yellow ferruginous, shining, covered with 

 fine, short pubescence; eyes purplish-brown ; stemmaticum black ; an- 

 tenna' very long, slender, dusky towards tips ; metathofax finely rugose 

 with a delicate carina down the center; abdomen polished, the 1st seg- 

 ment longitudinally acieulated. Wings hyaline, iridescent ; the stigma 

 and veins pale yellowish ; the 2d branch of the radius is a little longer 

 than the 1st, but one-third shorter than the 2d branch of the cubitus, 

 the 2d subinargiual cell is therefore much shorter than wide, and not 

 quadrate. 



Habitat. — Los Angeles, California. 



Described from two specimens, received from Mr. D. W. Coquillett, 

 labeled " Bred from Agrotis sp. (?) July 3." 



It is closely allied to M. communis Cress., but is smaller, and the 

 shape of the 2d subinargiual cell will distinguish it. 



Meteorus oecopsidis n. sp. 



Male. — Length, \\ mm . Pale yellow ferruginous, covered with a short, 

 sericeous pubescence; eyes large, purplish-brown, with decided violet 

 reflections in certain lights, and converging toward each other basally, 

 stemmaticum more or less black; palpi pale ; antennas long, 29-jointed, 

 dusky apically, the joints of the flagellum about three and one-half to 

 four times as long as wide ; parapsides obliterated, the mesonotum being 

 a solid piece ; metathorax minutely rugose, the disk dusky ; no carina; 

 abdomen normal, the 1st segment coarsely acieulated, the post-petiole 

 black; the 3d segment is also more or less black, piceo-black posteriori}'. 

 Wings hyaline; veins pale yellowish brown ; the 2d branch of the 

 radius is about one-third longer than the 1st, and half the length of the 

 1st transverse cubital nervure, the latter oblique, the 2d transverse 

 cubital nervure being slightly shorter but parallel with it ; the 2d sub- 

 marginal cell is, therefore, twice as wide as long; the submedian cell 

 is as much longer than the median as the length of the transverse 

 median nervure. 



Habitat.— Washington, D. C. 



Described from a single specimen, labeled " Parasite on QZcopsis, 

 Au.mist 10, isss." 



This species is also allied to M. communis Cress., in stature and color, 

 bni the smoothness of the mesonotum, the length of the submedian 

 cell, and the shape of the I'd subinargiual cell at once separate it. 



Meteorus floridauus n. sp. 



Male. — Length, 3£ mm . The general color is paler than in the previous 

 species, but the antenna' are .'iL' jointed, the flagellum dark-brown, the 

 Stemmaticum black, the lateral lobes of mesonotum and the dors:d 

 surface of abdomen more or less black; the base of the petiole yellow,
