sidered the same as the European 0. punctulatum, which is similarly 

 sculptured (see Townes, 1944, Mem. Amer. Ent. Soc, no. 11, p. 113). 

 We find that two females of punctulatum from Europe, however, when 

 compared with specimens of alaskensis differ in having the temples 

 much more closely and coarsely punctate and in lacking the median 

 longitudinal bare area on the lateral lobe of the mesoscutum. In 

 the European punctulatum the temporal punctures are coarse, sharp, 

 and separated by about 1.7 their diameter.

Odontomerus aethiops Cresson, 1865, Proc. Ent. Soc. Philadelphia, vol. 4, p. 289; 

 cf, ?. Lectotype: 9, Colorado (Philadelphia). 



Male: Front wing 6.3 to 10.5 mm. long; first segment of flagellum 

 about 1.05 as long as second; punctures on mesoscutum small, sharp, 

 separated by about 2.0 then diameter; propodeum without distinct 

 teeth, the apex of area dentipara only faintly projecting; punctures 

 on upper 0.6 of front face of hind femur rather dense, on lower 0.4 

 of front face sparse and irregularly spaced; lower 0.2 ± of hind face 

 of hind femur with sparse punctures, the upper 0.8 ± with moderately 

 dense punctures; second segment of middle tarsus about 3.5 as long 

 as deep; fifth segment of hind tarsus about 1.00 as long as second 

 segment ; second tergite weakly more or less mat, covered with rather 

 dense, weak setiferous punctures that are intermingled with and 

 partly obscured by fine weak wrinkling. 



Entirely and uniformly deep black. Wings weakly infuscate. 



Female: Front wing 9.5 to 11.5 mm. long; flagellum with about 

 40 segments, its first segment about 1.85 as long as second; head 

 about 1.05 as wide across temples as across eyes; punctures on temple 

 moderately small, separated by about 1.2 their diameter; thorax 

 about 2.15 as long as high; upper 0.3 ± of pronotum with moderately 

 coarse punctures that are separated by about 1.5 their diameter; 

 trough of pronotum with moderately coarse wrinkling that is some- 

 what irregular but crosses it mostly at an angle of about 40°; punc- 

 tures on mesoscutum of moderate size, sharp, separated by about 0.7 

 their diameter; hairs on mesepimeron on its upper 0.45 ± but near 

 hind margin extending downward to within 0.35 ± of the bottom: 

 metapleurum with moderate sized, weak, rather dense punctures, 

 near hind coxal attachment with irregular wrinkles, petiolar area 

 about 0.55 as long as combined areola and basal area; propodeal 

 teeth rudimentary, about 0.2 as long as their basal width; first lateral 

 area with rather dense hairs all over; hind femur about 1.84 as long 

 as deep, its upper half with fine close punctures and short hairs, its
