The following species promise to become important economically 

 inasmuch as they arc parasitic on injurious insects. The new names 

 are proposed at this time in order that they may be used in economic 

 bulletins about to be published. 



In the endeavor to translate habitus into word descriptions it is 

 necessary to originate additional technical terms. Such technical 

 terms as arc used for the first time in this paper are: The lateral ocellar 

 line, or the shortest line between lateral and anterior ocelli, the post- 

 ocellar line, orthe shortest line between the posterior ocelli, the clype- 

 ocular line, or the shortest line between clypeus and eye, and the 

 antennae v. Jar line, or the shortest distance between edge of antennal 

 fossa and eye. 



In this paper the term notauli, which is in common use among 

 European systematists, is used instead of parapsidal furrows. 



APANTELES ( PROTAPANTELES) HYSLOPI, new species. 



Description. — Female and male, 2 mm. long. Related to linn ni- 

 tidis from which it differs as follows: The almost rectangular oblong 

 second dorsal plate of the gaster bounded laterally by rather deep 

 arcuate, crenulate furrows, especially in the female; propodeum more 

 coarsely reticulate: tegulse, membranous edge of first dorsal segment 

 and posterior tarsi, black or blackish; color generally darker. 



This may prove to be only the Upper Sonoran representative ol 

 Apanteles limenitidis Riley. 



Type.— Female and male. Cat. No. 13053, U.S.N.M. 



Type-locality. Pullman, Washington. Bred from Autographa 

 gamma, var. californica, August 29, 1909, Webster No. 5903, J. \ 



Hyslop, collector. 



Named for J. A. Hyslop. 



APANTELES (PROTAPANTELES) FISKEI, new species. 



Description. — Female and male, 2.5 mm. long. In size and in the 

 shape of the first dorsal plate this resembles Apanteles limenitidis 

 Riley. Tn the sculpture of the third dorsal plate it mostly agrees
