ICHNEUMON-FLIES, PART 2: EPHIALTINAE 269 



There are three reared specimens as follows: d\ reared from 

 ichneumonid larva found in web with dead theridiid spider, Glendale, 

 Calif., found Sept. 14, 1943, emerged Sept. 22, 1943, E. I. Schlinger. 

 cf, reared from larva on abdomen of small theridiid spider, Glendale, 

 Calif., April 1942, E. I. Schlinger. 9, reared from larva on spider, 

 collected Alar. 14, 1954, cocoon spun March 16, emerged Mar. 28, 

 1954, Muir Beach, Marin Co., Calif., H. B. Leach. 



This species occurs in British Columbia and the Pacific States, 

 mostly in the Transition zone. It is found among dense vegetation 

 in damp places. Adults occur mostly in July and August. 



4. Zatypota favosa, new species 



Figure 324,1 



Male: Unknown. 



Female type: Front wing 3.2 mm. long; temple moderately convex; 

 metapleurum subpolished; front half of median lobe of mesoscutum 

 rather densely hairy; propodeum mat, without carinae or ridges 

 except for a remnant of the lateral longitudinal carina on its apical 

 0.12; nervulus opposite basal vein; third tergite about 0.8 as long 

 as wide, strongly mat, apicad of its apical transverse groove weakly 

 mat to subpolished, in the transverse grooves with a tendency toward 

 fine longitudinal wrinkling. Structure otherwise as described for 

 Z. parva. 



Black. Scape and pedicel below, mouth parts, tegula, subtegular 

 ridge, narrow hind corner of pronotum, front and middle coxae, and 

 all trochanters, white or whitish; mesothorax with a reddish brown 

 tinge; front and middle legs beyond trochanters stramineous; hind 

 coxa, femur, and tibia medium brown, the tibia with a narrow sub- 

 basal band and its apical third dark brown; hind tarsus brown, its 

 first segment stramineous basally. 



Type: 9, Fish Camp, Calif., July 14, 1948, H., M., G., and D. 

 Townes (Washington, USNM 63706). 



5. Zatypota exilis, new species 



Figure 325,a 



Male: Unknown. 



Female: Front wing 3.3 to 3.7 mm. long; median longitudinal 

 carinae of propodeum indicated by faint ridges on its basal 0.7; 

 lateral longitudinal carinae present only on apical 0.25 of propodeum; 

 propodeum otherwise smooth; nervulus distad of basal vein by about 

 0.5 its length; third tergite about 0.6 as long as wide, rather weakly 

 mat, subpolished apicad of apical transverse carina. Structure 

 otherwise as described for Z. parva.
