ICHNEUMON-FLIES, PART 2: EPHIALTINAE 



35 



granulosus have the lower side of the flagellum more distinctly yellow- 

 ish than in deceptor, and in the latter the dorsomedial propodeal carinae 

 tend to be more strongly and evenly divergent posteriorly, but there 

 is sufficient variation in both characters as to leave the placing of a 

 number of specimens in doubt. 



Host: The species has been reared from Mompha eloisella (Clemens) 

 at St. Davids and at South Gloucester, Ontario. 



This species has a transcontinental distribution in the Canadian and 

 Transition zones. The period of flight extends from May to October.
