 2 females, 1 of which, \vith the accession number 60586, I have labelled 

 and designated lectotype.

no. 6058b. 



Distribution: United States: West Virginia, North Carolma, New 

 York, Kansas, California. Canada: Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba. 



Hosts: Magdalis armicollis Say, in elm (Ashmead, 1894). Onci- 

 deres cingulatus (Say), on hickory (hickory twig girdler) (Beal and 

 Massey, 1942). Anthribus cornutus Say (U.S. National Museum 

 collection). Cylindrocopturus lomjulus (LeConte) on Pinus sp. (U.S. 

 National Museum collection). 



Remarks: E. magdalidis Ashmead with its dark legs, rounded, nar- 

 row propodeum, long sixth abdominal segment, and generally smaller 

 dimensions seems to be distinct from the preceding species. Its hosts 

 belong to families of beetles whose larvae bore in plant tissue.
