ART. 14 NEW ICHNEUMON-FLIES — CUSHMAN 9 



or less distinctly pale margined apically, venter white with blackish 

 sternites. 



Male. — Differs from female as follows: Ocelli larger and hardly 

 their diameter from the eyes, though not larger in diameter than 

 postocellar line; face very slightly narrower than frons; antennae 

 19-jointed; abdomen narrower, less distinctly punctate; first tergite 

 much longer than broad, the sides beyond spiracles nearly parallel, 

 second and third much more than half as long as broad at their 

 junction. 



Face, frons nearly to ocelli, malar space, lower cheeks, clypeus, and 

 mandibles pale yellow ; upper and lower margins of pronotum, pro- 

 pleura, and subalar tubercles also yellow; pleura, sternum, and pro- 

 podeum entirely black; front and middle legs pale yellow, their 

 tibiae and tarsi more reddish with apices darker; hind coxa and 

 trochanter pale j'^ellowish, the coxa with a piceous spot at base above; 

 hind tarsus black except at base; tergites 2-4 with apical margins 

 definitely white, those beyond very narrowly so. 



Hosts. — PMjlJotoma nemorata (Fallen) and Paraclemensia aceri- 

 foliella Fitch. 



Type locality. — Ashburnham, Mass. 



Type.—V.^.^.M. No. 44069. 



Remm^ks. — Described from six females, all reared under Gipsy 

 iMoth Laboratory No. 12464 as parasites of Phyllotoma neinarata 

 larvae, five from the t}q:)e locality on May 25 and June 26, 1930, and 

 one from Gorham, N. iH., June 3, 1930; five females and one male 

 received from A. E. Brower, Mount Desert, Me,, who reared the 

 females from Phyllotoma in June, 1930, and May, 1931, from material 

 collected at Topsfield, West Bethel, Nicatous Pond, and Bryant 

 Pond, Me, : and the male from Paraclemensia on Little Duck Island, 

 Me., on August 6, 1931. 



According to C. F. W. iMuesebeck, who submitted the Gipsy Moth 

 Laboratory specimens, this is an external parasite and is evidentlv a 

 native species that has adopted the introduced sawfly as a host.

Walsh's description is of a different species from the one described 

 under this name by Cresson. Walsh may have had the two species 

 confused in his material and may even have sent to Cresson speci- 

 mens conspecific with Cresson's type. In Cresson's species, judged 

 from large series reared from Grapholitha molesta (Busck), the 

 mesosternum is always black and the red color confined at most to a 

 band on the pleurum extending forward somewhat obliquely from
