Ko. 2317. FIVE TRIBES OF IGHNEUMONINAE—ROHWER. 409 



out carinae along inner eye margins; vertex and posterior orbits 

 smooth and polished; ocellar triangle not quite equilateral; 

 postocellar line subequal with the ocellocular line; sides of pronotum 

 and the scutum with close distinct punctures; punctures on scutel- 

 lum, propodeum and mesepisternum more widely separated, the 

 dorsal part of mesepisternum being almost without punctures; basal 

 area not sharply defined posteriorly, its width a very little greater 

 than its length; areola with its length and greatest width (which is 

 somewhat anterior to middle) subequal; abdomen smooth and pol- 

 ished; the chitinized basal part of the first sternite terminating dis- 

 tinctly before a line drav/n tangent to the anterior margin of the 

 spiracle; ovipositor as long as abdomen. Black; palpi, clypeus and 

 scape beneath yellowish; base of mandibles and a spot on posterior 

 orbits beneath rufo-piceous; antennae brownish with a broad yellov/- 

 ish annulus between middle and apex; legs yellowish, coxae, poste- 

 rior trochanters and femora black; wings hyaline with the apical 

 margin dusky; venation dark brown, stigma yellowish; ovipositor 

 sheaths brownish, yelloMdsh at base. 



Male. — Length, 13 mm. Chitinized basal part of first sternite 

 terminating beyond a line drawn tangent to the posterior margin of 

 spiracle; othei'wise structure much as in female; differs from female in 

 color thus: clypeus, face except a dorsal median spot, elongate 

 spot on posterior orbits, spot on lower margin of pronotum and four 

 anterior coxae beneath yellow; antennae brownish, paler basally and 

 without annulus; stigma brownish. 



Paratype males show the face may be entirely yellow. 



Type locality. — Bermuda Islands, West Indies. Described from 

 one female (type) and four males (one allotype) collected May 1 and 

 10, 1909, by F. M. Jones. 



Type.— Cat. No. 22134, U.S.N.M. 



LABENA TINCTIPENNIS, new species. 



The bright rufo-ferruginous color and the color of the wings make 

 this species easily distinguished from the other Nearctic species. 

 Tlie original description of rufus (Brull6) suggests that this species 

 is allied to tinctipennis. 



Female.— Length, 18 mm.; length of the ovipositor, 13 mm. 

 Distance between the eyes at the clypeus very little less than at the 

 vertex; face transversely wrinkled on an opaque surface, without a 

 distinct median carina or tubercule, no lateral carinae but with two 

 oblique low, rounded ridges from clypeus to near eye margin; ver- 

 tex and posterior orbits polished, smooth; oceUi in a low triangle; 

 postocellar line longer than ocellocular line; interoceUar area raised 

 and parted by a median furrov/; thorax shining, with distinct, widely 

 separated punctures; mesepisternum dorsally practically inpunctate;
