BARYDOTIRA HAMMARI, new species. 



Type-locality. — North East, Pennsylvania. 



Type.—€at. No. 15020, U.S.N.M. 



Female. — Length, 3.5 mm.; judgmg from Schmiedeknecht's classi- 

 fication of European Hemitelini, this is related to Ilemiteles coriarius 

 Taschenberg, from which it may be known by the polished head and 

 thorax, by the brownish stramineous legs, including the coxae, by the 

 stramineous tegulse, by the absence of the longitudinal carmae beyond 

 the apical transverse carina; by the first segment except its apical 

 margin, the second except its apical fourth, and the tliird except its 

 apical half being granularly sculptured, the rest of the abdomen being 

 polished and by the shorter ovipostor, the exserted portion of which 

 is hardly longer than the first segment. 



In this species the wings are brownish and the areola and basalarea 

 confluent. 



Labeled, "Quamtance No. 3335, June 25, 1909; A. G. Hammar, 

 collector." 



In two female paratopotypes the areola is more or less regularly 

 separated from the basal area by a carina; in one female paratopo- 

 type the petiolarea is di%aded longitudinally down the middle by a 

 carina — evidently a monstrosity. Paratopotype w^th the same data 

 except that two are labeled, "No. 3734, Host 3323, Aug. 9, 1909." 



Named for Mr. A. G. Hammar. 



BATHYTHRIX KUWAN.E, new species. 



Type-locality. — Nishigahara, Tokio, Japan. 



Type.— Csit. No. 15021, U.S.N.M. 



Female. — Length 4 mm. ; apparently nearest to Hemiteles stagnalis 

 Thomson, as redescribed by Schmiedeknecht but differs as follows: 

 Vertex and mesonotum polished; antennae hardly 4 mm. long; first 

 segment almost polished; scape, pedicel, first joint of flagel, most of 

 legs, including coxae and most of abdomen stramineous; postpetiole 

 as long as the petiole and hardly wider, the apical' half of the middle 

 longitudinal third pale; elsewhere the first segment is black; second 

 segment blacldsh laterally on the basal two-thirds, the rest of the 

 segment with a stramineous, funnel-shaped mark; third segment 

 with a blackish mark on each side, leaving an hour-glass shaped stra- 

 mineous mark; fourth segment blackish at base; rest of abdomen 

 mostly stramineous. 



Labeled, "from larva of LeTna jlavipes; S. T. Kuwana, collector." 



Named for Prof. S. T. Kuwana.
