but it can not belong to Cryptogonato'pus because of the concave 

 vertex. It seems to agree well with genus otherwise and in color is 

 allied to H. americunus Perkins. 



Female. — Length, 2.5 mm. Frons subopaque, covered with fine 

 reticulations, frontal line distinct; vertex coriaceous and opaque 

 medianl}^, shining and almost without sculpture laterally; pronotum 

 shining, very finely granular anteriorly; constricted part of thorax 

 coarsely coriaceous anteriorly, posteriorly vrith a tendency to become 

 transversely rugulose; anterior part of propodeum shining, almost 

 smooth, the posterior and greater part transversely rugulose; abdomen 

 smooth and shining; body without hair; antennae and forelegs as 

 in figures 3, 4, 5, and 6. Thorax and legs rufo-testaceous; head and 

 abdomen black; head below middle of front, cheeks, and basal anten- 

 nal joints yellowish. 



Paratypes show the fourth tarsal joint of anterior legs slightly 

 longer and the anterior tarsal claws v\dth only three teeth. 



Male. — Length, 2. mm. A male bearing the same data as the type 

 female agrees with the figure of the male illustrated in Das Teirreich 

 (fi_g. 49, p. 89). Antennae 10-jointed, as long as the head and 

 thorax, covered with hair, flagellar joints closely united; l^lack, 

 tegulae and legs pale brownish; two basal joints of antenna dark 

 brown; wings hyaline; venation pale brown. 



Type locality.— J finigir, Bilaspur, India. Described from one 

 female reared October 14, 1915, from Sogata, species on rice by C. S. 

 Misra. 



Paratype locality. — Bilaspur, India. T^vo females, reared October, 

 1915, from Sogata, species, on rice by C. S. Misra. 



Type.— Cat. No. 22383, U.S.N.M. Tag mounted and left foreleg 

 and right antenna on Hym. shde 900.* Paratypes tag mounted 

 with a foreleg and antenna on Hym. slides 901 and 898. 



P3EUDOGONATOPUS SOGATEA, new species. 



Runs fairly satisfactorily to P. an.toxenoUus Perkins in Bas Tier- 

 reicJi (p. 80) but difters from the original description of that species 

 by being smaller, pronotum not more strongly sculptured than the 

 head and the propodeum is not densely sculptured. If at couplet 

 3 the propodeum is said to be shining it would go to nudus Perkins, 

 but it does not agree with the description of that species. 



It is difficult to see the palpi, but I beUeve that I have seen them 

 correctly; if the maxillary palpi are said to have two joints the species 

 vv^ould go to Paragonatopus, where it differs in a more concave head. 

 The description of the only species of Paragonatopus, however, 

 agrees well with this species. 



Female.— 'Length, 2.5 mm. Labial palpi two-jointed; maxillary 

 palpi four-jointed, the basal joint small, the second somev.diat shorter
