 Co.) ; Pennsylvania (Slippery Rock Creek in Lawrence Co.) ; Rhode 

 Island (Westerly) ; South Carolina (Greenville) ; West Virginia (near 

 Kearneysviile) ; and Wisconsin (Madison).

 Plummers Island, Md. ; April 24 at Madison, Wis.; April 26 at Bowie,

Reared specimens are as foUows: 9d^, 99, from Harrisina americana, 

 Kearneysviile, W. Va., Aug. 4, 1938, H. A. Jaynes. 18 cf, 169, from 

 Harrisina americana, near Kearneysviile, W. Va., August 1938, H. A. 

 Jaynes. cf, 9, from Harrisina americana, Moorestown, N.J., Aug. 

 4-7, 1938. cT, 29, from Carpocapsa pomonella, Kearneysviile, W. Va., 

 August 1938, H. A. Jaynes. 9, from Carpocapsa pomonella, Kearneys- 

 viile, W. Va., June 2, 1938, H. A. Jaynes. The host cocoons pinned 

 with the ichneumonids labeled as reared from "Carpocapsa pomonella" 

 are cocoons of Harrisina, not of Carpocapsa, so the Carpocapsa host 

 record is probably incorrect. 



We find the subspecies in thickets and the undergrowth of rich 

 woods, in the kinds of places where Vitis and Harrisina are common. 



This subspecies occurs in the Carolinian fauna. 



3b. Habrocryptoides virgeiis ardalus, new subspecies 



Apical 0.35 of clypeus (in profile) distinctly concave, abruptly 

 declivous, resulting in a more prominent median ridge on clypeus 

 than in the subspecies virgeus.
