ICHNEUMON-FLIES, PART 2\ EPHIALTINAE 355 



Specimens of this subspecies usually have the dark markings on 

 body restricted to a blackish mark on prepectus near lower corner of 

 pronotum. Additional, dark brown marks are sometimes present on 

 the thorax and sometimes on the abdominal tergites basally. The 

 flagellum is fuscous brown, tinged with fulvous below. Specimens 

 from the southwestern United States tend to have the yellowish brown 

 tinge on the wings a little stronger than usual. This difference seems 

 to have helped persuade Viereck to propose the varietal name melli- 

 pennis for some specimens from New Mexico, but the difference is so 

 slight that a separate name for that population seems unwarranted.
