ICHNEUMON-FLIES, PART 2: EPHIALTINAE 323 



Calif. Coccygomimus thoracicus (Morley) 1914, from Guerrero, 

 Mexico, may represent an extreme southern race of this species. 



Specimens (11 cf, 319): From Arizona (near Alpine, Chiricahua 

 Mts., Hereford, Mount Lemmon at 6,000 and at 8,000 ft., and Parker 

 Creek and Workman Creek in the Sierra Ancha); British Columbia 

 (Vancouver Island) ; California (Big Sur, Carmel, Crescent City, 

 Echo, Echo Lake, Elk, Fish Camp, Humboldt Co., Kyburz, Pacific 

 Grove, "Pohono Trail" at 7,000 to 7,750 ft., and Stillwater Cove in 

 Sonoma Co.); New Mexico (Jemez Springs at 6,400 ft.); Oregon 

 (Mount Jefferson); Washington (Westport); and Mexico (near 

 Cortez Pass at 10,000 ft.). 



The majority of the collecting dates are in early spring to early 

 summer (April 20 to June 15) but a number are in July and August, one 

 October 25 at Carmel, Calif., and one November 19 at Hereford, Ariz. 



One of the syntype series was reared, a male from Lambdina fiscel- 

 laria somniaria, Vancouver Island, B. C, Mar. 1, 1891. 



This species occurs from Vancouver Island to Arizona, New Mexico, 

 and Mexico. It is adult mostly in spring and early summer. 



II. TURIONELLAE GROUP 



Front wing 3.5 to 13 mm. long; body rather stout; nervulus usu- 

 ally interstitial; hind tibia often with a pale submedian band; pro- 

 podeum short, rounded, with or without median longitudinal carinae 

 at its base; abdomen weakly mat or polished, with close punctures; 

 first tergite short and wide; epipleura narrow, the fourth and fifth 

 epipleura a little wider than the first through third, but less than 0.25 

 as wide as long in male and less than 0.45 as wide as long in female 

 (fig. 329,j); upper valve of ovipositor not, or onty weakly flattened 

 apically, and without distinct transverse ridges. 



This group is Palaearctic, but includes one species (aquilonius) 

 which is Holarctic. The rest of the species of the group known to 

 us are: Pimpla disparis Viereck 1911, Ichneumon Ulecebrator Villers 

 1789, Pimpla pluto Ashmead 1906, Ichneumon turionellae Linnaeus 

 1758, and an undescribed species from Japan. Except for aquilonius, 

 these names are new combinations in Coccygomimus. 



5. Coccygomimus aquilonius (Cresson) 



Figure 329,j 



Front wing 3.5 to 9 mm. long; body short and stout; face of male 

 with moderate sized, rather close punctures; face of female with 

 rather small, distant punctures; apex of female clypeus with a deep 

 V-shaped notch; metapleurum with fine, moderately dense punctures 

 and often more or less distinct oblique wrinkling, the lower half 

 usually smoother and often without punctures.
