pleura, scutellum, apical margin of all the tergites and legs, except 

 where mentioned, rufo-ferruginous. 



Type locality. — Patrick's Creek, California. Described from two 

 females recorded under Bureau of Entomology Nos, Hopk. U. 

 S. 14265Z (type) and 14265/, material collected by J. M. Miller 

 and J. E. Patterson and reared at the station at Ashland, Oregon, 

 where it was determined as a parasite of Dioryctria xantliaenohares. 



Type.—Csit. No. 20783, U.S.N.M. 



LISSONOTA CONOCOLA, new species. 



The species comes close to incita (Cresson) and angusta (Davis) but 

 may be separated from both these by the different orbital marking 

 and by having the venter mostly black. 



Female. — ^Length, 7 mm. Ciypeus very slightly convex, the 

 anterior margins truncate; surface with setigerous punctures; 

 face opaque with a few small poorly defined punctures; front, meso- 

 scutum vdth well defined separated small punctures; mesepisternum 

 more sparsely punctured; propodeum punctured similarly to the 

 mesoscutum, the apical carina very prominent; nervulus postfurcal 

 at one-fourth its length; nervellus angulately broken below the 

 middle; tergites rather short, the first slightly longer than the second 

 with close small punctures, basally just before the apical margm 

 it becomes rather coarsely striato-punctate ; second tergite opaque , 

 v,dth small poorly defined punctures, before the apical lateral margms 

 striato-punctate; the third and fourth tergites uniformly rather 

 coarsely sculptured; ovipositor as long as msect. Black; apical part 

 of ciypeus, mandibles except apices, small spot on the mesoscutum 

 and tegulae white; legs ruf.o-ferruginous, the posterior tibiae and 

 tarsi dusky; wings hyaline, venation dark brown. 



Male. — Length 6.5 mm. Puncturation not as coarse as in the 

 female and the dorsal aspect of the propodeum has an mdistmct 

 longitudmal median depression. Black; ciypeus mandibles except 

 apices, face except three projections above, spot on the superior 

 orbits, anterior lateral margms of the scutum, tegulae, an irregular 

 line on the mesepisternum, four anterior coxae and trochanters v»^hite; 

 the rest of the legs except dusky posterior tibiae and tarsi rufo- 

 ferruginous. 



Type locality. ^Mineral Kmg, California. Described from two 

 females and two males recorded under Bureau of Entomology No. 

 Hopk. U. S. 13296e which refers to a note stating that these are 

 parasitic on some insect living in the cones of Alies sTiastensis, material 

 collected by F. P. Keen.
