scutellum latrad and apicad of elevation closely irregularly punc-

JIale. — Length 2 mm. Except for usual sexual characters agrees 

 with the description of female; antennae 15-iointed, pedicellum

Type locality. — Syracuse, New York. Described from two females 

 and one male reared by M. W. Blackman and H. H. Stage from 

 Eicoiia glabra and recorded under their numbers H-1820 (type),

Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA. 

 Family ICHNEUMONIDAE. 



Genus LISSONOTA Gravenhorst. 



The species here described are believed to be congeneric with 

 Lissonota sulfliurifera Gravenhorst, the genotjrpe of the genus 

 LissoTwta} 



USSONOTA EVETRIAE, new species. 



This species is closely allied to pleuralis (Cresson) but may be 

 distinguished by the longer and more finely sculptured tergites and 

 from the typical form by the rufous scutum. 



Female. — Length, 6.5 mm. Clypeus shining, the anterior margin 

 broadly rounded; face with distinct separate punctures; vertex, front 

 and scutum similarly but more sparsely punctured; propodeum 

 with punctures similar to those on the face, the apical carina well 

 defined but not specially prominent; tergites long and narrow, the 

 second but little shorter than the first, the third slightly shorter 

 than the second, the first finely obliquely aciculate laterally and in 

 addition to the aciculations with small scattered punctures, vrithout 

 a transverse sculptured depression apically; second tergite with 

 small scattered punctm-es except just before the apical lateral 

 margins where the punctures are almost confluent; third tergite 

 miiformly, sparsely punctured; areolet sessile; nervulus postf ureal 

 at tlu-ee fourths its length; nervellus angulately broken below the 

 middle; ovipositor slightly longer than the insect. Black; clypeus,
