Figure 326,1 



Pimpla ellopiae Harrington, 1892, Canadian Ent., vol. 24, p. 99; <?, ? . Types: 

 d\ 9 , Victoria, B. C. (Ottawa). 



Front wing 3.5 to 12 mm. long; body moderately slender; face 

 with close medium-sized punctures; apical margin of female clypeus 

 broadly notched; metapleurum with fine oblique wrinkles which more 

 or less obscure small dense punctures; nervulus briefly postfurcal or 

 sometimes interstitial. 



Black. Maxillary palpus of male largely light brown; front of 

 front femur, of front tibia, and of front tarsus of male, apex of mid- 

 dle femur and of middle tibia of male, pale yellowish; front and 

 middle tibiae and tarsi dark reddish brown except where described 

 as yellowish; hind femur and hind tibia black to ferruginous; wings 

 faintly infuscate; abdomen dark ferruginous, the ovipositor sheath 

 black. 



Specimens from the northern part of the range have the hi id 

 femur and tibia black, while those from the southern part have the 

 hind femur and often the hind tibia ferruginous. The zone of inter- 

 grades for this color difference seems to be broad, so it seems inadvis- 

 able to erect a new subspecies for the southern type of coloration. 

 We have seen specimens with both ferruginous and black hind femora 

 and also intermediates from Stillwater Cove, in Sonoma Count} 7- ,
