ICHNEUMON-FLIES — GELINAE : MESOSTENINI 197 



There is one rearing record: 29, from Aegeria tibialis, Jemez 

 Springs, N. Mex., June 25 and July 2, 1929, G. P. Engelhardt. A 

 third female of this same rearing is colored like the subspecies relativus, 

 so is classified there! 



This subspecies is found mostl}^ in the Great Basin and vicinity, 

 but specimens of it occur sporadically also through most of the range 

 of the subspecies relatiims.
