ICHNEUMON-FLIES OF AMERICA! 1. METOPIINAE 



249 



New York (Pelham Bay Park); North Carolina (Elizabethtown, 

 Murfreesboro, and Wake Co.); Pennsylvania (Valley Forge); South 

 Carolina (McClellanville and Greenville); and Virginia (Mount 

 Vernon). 



Most collection dates are from July 1 to the end of August. Those 

 outside of this range are: April 25 at Elizabethtown, N. C; May 18 

 at McClellanville, S. C; June 23 at Moorestown, N. J.; June 24 and 

 29 at Bowie, Md.; June 30 without locality; September 6 and 11 and 

 October 9 at Takoma Park, Md.; September 15 in Wake County, 

 N. C; and September 27 at Murfreesboro, N. C. 



We have found the species common at times in the undergrowth 

 of deciduous woods. When caught, it gives off a strong odor like the 

 species of Coccygomimus . Field notes made Sept. 11, 1943 at Takoma 

 Park, Md., state that males were abundant on that date, resting on, 

 and flying about the tips of branches of shrubs in the woods, from near 

 the ground to a height of 1.5 meters. 



This subspecies is in the Carolinian and Austroriparian faunas. 

 Adults occur mostly in July and August, but there are a few from 

 late spring to early fall. 



43. Exochus fastigatus, new species

Front wing 3.5 to 3.8 mm. long; combined face and clypeus about 

 1.20 as high as wide in male, about 1.25 as high as wide in female, their 

 convexity uniform, moderately strong; apical angle of interantennal 

 process about 90 degrees; median 0.5 of clypeal margin straight; 

 median area of frons very weakly raised and hardly differentiated; 

 mandible moderately short (about 0.60 as long as mouth opening is 

 wide), not twisted, tapered evenly from base to a rather narrow apex,
