ART. 14 NEW ICHNEUMON-FLIES — CUSHMAN 5 



The types of ineptifrons were reared from that host. Those of 

 waJshlae were reared from Walshia amovphella Clemens. 



PROSCUS WALSHIAE AUSTRALIS, new variety 



Identical structurally with the typical form, but differs constantly 

 in having the abdomen entirely ferruginous. 



Host. — Laspeyresia caryana Fitch. 



Type locality. — Albany, Ga. 



Type.—U.S.'^M. No. 44720. 



Remarks. — Five females (one holotype) and two males (one allo- 

 type) reared by Herbert Spencer, Luther Brown, and H. S. Adair, 

 of the fruit-insect division of the U. S. Bureau of Entomology. 



The specimens are said to have been reared from pupae of the host 

 that had been isolated as larvae. 



Genus HEMITELES Gravenhorst 



HEMITELES PINIFOLIAE, new species 



Allied b}^ its short, stout first abdominal segment to graGilariae 

 Ashmead and hucculatricis Ashmead. From the former it is easily 

 distinguished by its broad temples and from the latter by its much 

 more strongly sculptured and longer abdomen and by its shorter 

 ovipositor. 



Female. — Length 3.5 mm. Slender, the thorax fully twice as long 

 as deep, its depth and breadth about equal, the abdomen nearly four 

 times as long as broad. Head large, broader than thorax, in side 

 view somewhat like that of Exochus., temples strongly rounded, nearly 

 or quite reaching outside tangent of eyes; face opaque punctato- 

 coriaceous, very strongly receding, with a median longitudinal ridge ; 

 eyes large, shallowly convex, about as long as width of face, parallel 

 within; clypeus small, short, apically truncate for its entire width; 

 mouth distinctly narrower than face, mandibles small; malar space 

 about equal to basal width of mandible; antennae long, slender, 

 slightly thickened toward apex, 19-jointed. Thorax granularly 

 opaque, only the scutellum and speculum polished and the pronotum 

 laterally subpolished; notauli briefly impressed; posterior face of 

 propodeum much shorter than horizontal face, transverse carinae, es- 

 pecially the basal carina, weak, median carinae absent; stigma 

 rather broad, radius just beyond middle, radial cell short, hardly as 

 long on metacarpus as stigma ; areolet rather small, pentagonal, open, 

 cubitus lacking beyond position of second intercubitus ; basal vein 

 very strongly curved, so that it meets the median vein at a slightly 

 acute angle; nervellus distinctly broken well below middle. Abdo- 

 men largely granularly opaque, only the apical tergites and the 

 apices of the other tergites polished, the apices of second and third 

 slightly tumid; first segment hardly as long as second, nearly as
