infuscate especially apically, their tarsi lemon yellow; wings sub- 

 hyaline; membraneous portion of tergites yellowish. 



Taken at Whitefish Point, Michigan, July 4, 1913, by A. W. Andrew. 



COLEOCENTRUS SIMLIIS Cashman, new species. 



Female. — ^Length, 15 mm.; antennae, 10 mm.; ovipositor, 9 mm. 



Related to rufus Provancher, but easily distinguished from that 

 species by the characters used in the table. It differs further in the 

 yellow clypeus; red temples; paler front and middle tibiae and tarsi, 

 these being yellow; more or less black or piceous inner surfaces of 

 hind coxae; narrower temples; weaker propodeal carinae; and longer 

 propodeum, this being fully three-fourths as long as combined height 

 of propodeum and metaplem-a; otherwise much like rufus. 



Male. — ^Length, 15 nam.; antennae (broken). Head and thoracic 

 structure much as in female, the latter more slender; malar space 

 barely half as long as basal width of mandible, temples broader, 

 nearly straight; ocelli slightly larger; propodeum nearly as long as 

 combined height of propodeum and metapleura; first tergite less 

 than a third as wide as long, its spiracles prominent, others parallel 

 sided; face, clypeus, scape, and pedicel below, and a narrow orbital 

 line opposite antennae pale lemon yellow, as are also entire front 

 and middle legs except posterior side of femora and coxae. 



Type locality. — ^Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. 



Other localities. — ^Dead Hun, Fairfax County, Virginia; Glencarlyn, 

 Virginia; Inglenook, Pennsylvania; Forest Glen, Maryland. 



Type.— C&t. No. 21195, U.S.N.M. 



Described from five females and one male, the type and allotype 

 from the type locality, paratype a from Dead Rim, Virginia. (R. 

 C. Shannon); paratype h from Glencarlyn, Virginia. (N. Banks) 

 paratype c from Inglenook, Pennsylvania. (W. S. Fisher); and 

 paratype d from Forest Glen, Maryland. (F. Knab). 



Except for their generally darker color paratypes a, h, and d are 

 practically typical. Paratype c is considerably larger, generally 

 darker, and has the first tergite relatively wider than in the type. 



SPECIES ERRONEOUSLY REFERRED TO COLEOCENTRUS. 

 Lampronota edwardsii Cresson, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1878, p. 379, female. 

 Synonymized by Dalla Torre with Coleocentrus rufus Provancher. 

 Synonymy wrong. It is a Lissonotine. 



Coleocentrus texanus Ashmead, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mub., voL 12, 1889, p. 144. 



Later referred by Ashmead to the Cryptine genus Nematopodius 

 Foerster, but is the genotype of the Cryptine genus Derocentrus 

 Cushman.^
