ICHNEUMON-FLIES — GELINAE : MESOSTENINI 167 



1. Habrocryptoides oregonensis (Cushman), new combination 



Front ^\^ng 5.3 to 7.0 mm. long; thorax stout; frons rugulose mat, 

 with small, indistinct, moderately dense punctures; clypeus rather 

 small, rather strongly convex but its apical 0.35 flattened and its 

 apicolateral corner a little reflexed; mesopleurum with fine irregular 

 Nvrinkling medially and fine, close punctures peripherally; apical cari- 

 na of propodeum complete but its median section rather weak, sub- 

 laterally forming a distinct but weak crest, where the carina rises 

 mesad at about 35° from the horizontal, then turns strongly forward; 

 second tergite of female with rather dense short hair; male clasper 

 constricted abruptly and continued apically as a fingerlike or rodlike 

 lobe; ovipositor sheath about 0.37 as long as front wing; ovipositor 

 rather stout, its upper valve with a sharp dorsal edge at the nodus 

 and beyond the nodus curved downward to a relatively abrupt point; 

 apical teeth on lower valve of ovipositor very close together. In 

 all other species of the genus the male clasper is unspecialized, with 

 a rounded apex, and the dorsal valve of ovipositor is more gradually 

 tapered to the apex. 



There are two subspecies, as keyed and described below: 



1. Hind coxa of female black; range: South Dakota. 



la. oregonensis coxalis, new subspecies 

 Hind coxa of female ferruginous; range: British Columbia to California. 



lb. oregonensis oregonensis (Cushman) 



la. Habrocryptoides oregonensis coxalis, new subspecies 



Male: Unknown. 



Female type: Colored like the female of the subspecies oregon- 

 ensis except that all coxae and trochanters are blackish, front and 

 middle legs beyond trochanters are dark brown, and hind tibia and 

 tarsus are infuscate with the tarsal joints brown.

 of temple, mouth parts, scape except behind, lower 0.6 of propleurum, 

 collar, upper and lower edges of pronotum, tegula, subtegular ridge,

 central trapezoidal area on propodeum, usually a connecting small 

 mark on propodeal crest, large anteroventral spot on mesopleurum,
