DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW HYMENOPTERA, NO. 



By J. C. Crawford, 



Associate Curator, Division of Insects, United States National Museum. 



Many of the species herein described were received from the Bureau 

 of Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture, having been 

 reared by its various branches in economic investigations as parasites 

 of injurious insects. In this connection attention is especially called 

 to the interesting and varied series reared from Agromyza. 



In this paper, as in all previous papers pubhshed by me, the sex 

 first described is to be taken as the true type and the second as the 

 allotype. 



Family AGAONID.E. 



• Genus SECUNDEISENIA Schulz. 



This name will replace Eiseniella Ashmead, which is preoccupied, 

 a fact overlooked by me when publishing^ the synonomy of the genus. 



Family CALLEVIOMIDiE. 

 Genus CALLIMOME Spinola. 



The type of this genus was fixed by Curtis ^ in 1835 as Ichneumon 

 hedeguaris Linnasus. This same species was made the type of Torymus 

 Dalman by Ashmead in 1904. 



As early as 1828 Westwood had established the synonomy of these 

 two names, although the later one has, since the time of Walker, crept 

 into use. The correct name is here restored, and following the estab- 

 lished custom of hymenopterologists the family name is made to con- 

 form with that of the oldest included genus. 



PODAGRION ECHTHRUS, new species. 



Female. — Length about 4 mm.; ovipositor about 5 mm. Head and 

 thorax green, with some bluish tints; face with very fine crowded 

 punctures, appearing almost granular; scape flavous; pedicel and ring 

 joint light brown, rest of antennae darker brown; first joint of funicle
