ICHNEUMON-FLIES — GELINAE : MESOSTENINI 303 



carina of propodeum absent; hind femur about 2.7 to 3.2 as long as 

 deep; bristles on tibiae very dense; hair sockets on second tergite 

 separated by about 0.6 to 1.3 the length of the hairs; ovipositor 

 sheath about 0.65 as long as front wing; ovipositor about 6.0 as long 

 from nodus to apex as it is deep at nodus. 



Fulvoferruginous with markings on head, thoracic sutures, and 

 bases of coxae black; basal half of fiagellum brownish fulvous, the 

 rest fuscous brown; wings varying from brownish yellow with mod- 

 erately sharp brown bands to rather uniformly brownish; base of 

 second tergite often narrowly infuscate; base of third tergite with a 

 rather narrow black band. 



This is a species of the West, with two subspecies as keyed and 

 described below. 



MALES 



1. Fulvous area on hind orbit usually interrupted briefly at lower corner of eye; 

 banding on front wing weak (fig. 370) ; punctures on mesoscutum often 

 fine and weak but sometimes a little coarser and stronger; range: Rocky 

 Mountains to Pacific, except southern California. 



14a. resolutus subfasciatus, new subspecies 

 Fulvous area on hind orbit continued narrowly around lower corner of eye; 

 banding on front wing very weak or indistinct (fig. 372) ; punctures on 

 mesoscutum fine and weak; range: central and southern California. 



14b. resolutus resolutus (Cresson) 



FEMALES 



1. Front wing distinctly banded (fig. 371); punctures on thorax and hind femur 

 averaging a little denser, those near front end of notaulus separated by 

 about 0.5 to 1.5 their diameter; range: Rocky Mountains to Pacific, except 



southern California 14a. resolutus subfasciatus, new subspecies 



Front wing brown, only faintly banded (fig. 373) ; punctures on thorax and 

 hind femur averaging a little sparser, those near front end of notaulus 

 separated by about 1.5 to 2.5 their diameter; range: Southern California. 



14b. resolutus resolutus (Cresson) 



14a. Compsocryptus resolutus subfasciatus, new subspecies 



Figures 370; 371 



Compared with the subspecies resolutus the punctation is a little 

 denser, especially in female, on mesoscutum, mesopleurum, and hind 

 femur, the punctures near front end of notaulus of female separated 

 by about 0.5 to 1.5 their diameter, the punctures on mesopleurum 

 of female separated by about 1.2 their diameter; hind femur of 

 female about 3.0 as long as deep. 



Fulvous on hind orbit of male usually interrupted briefly at lower 

 corner of eye; fiagellum of male entirely black; wings of male with 

 weak banding, as in figure 370, of female with moderately distinct 

 bands, as in figure 371.
