ICHNEUMON-FLIES, PART 2: EPHIALTINAE 



339 



striation on metapleurum averaging a little weaker, and hairs on 

 seventh and eighth tergites averaging a little longer. 



Type: 9, collected among rank herbage in a grove behind beach, 

 Crescent City, Calif., Aug. 2, 1940, H. and M. Townes (Washington, 

 USNM 63714). 



Para types (4d\ 279): From Alaska (Dutch Harbor and Skagway); 

 Arizona (Chiricahua Mts. and Oak Creek Canyon); California (Bo- 

 linas, Botanical Gardens at Berkeley, Crescent City, Marys ville, 

 Mountain Home, Muir Woods, Oxnard, San Francisco, and "Wats. 

 Crossing"); Colorado; Nebraska (Halsey); Nevada (Wells); New 

 Mexico (Beulah and Las Cruces); Oregon (Seaside); South Dakota 

 (Rapid City); and Utah (South Creek in Beaver Co.). The four 

 males cited as para types are from a reared lot containing females, so 

 their identity seems certain. We have many additional males which 

 are probably this species, but since the specific characters of the male 

 are so poorly developed we cannot be certain of their determination 

 and do not list their localities or make them para types. 



Collection dates are throughout the growing season, the earliest 

 being May 13 at Oak Creek Canyon, Ariz., and the latest December 20 

 at "Wats. Crossing," Calif. A large portion of the specimens were 

 taken later in the season, from August to December. 



Reared specimens are as follows: 4 cf, 49, from Bhyacioniafrustrana 

 bushnelli, Sept. 21 to 30, 1926, L. G. Baumhofer. 9, from Anarsia 

 lineatella, Marysville, Calif., May 11, 1932, L. S. Jones. 9, from 

 Udea rubigalis, Oxnard, Calif., Dec. 15, 1916, B. L. Boyden (Wash- 

 ington). 



This species is in the western half of the United States and Alaska, 

 where it occurs in the Transition zone.
