NO. 2031. NEW VARIETIES OF ICHNEUMON-FLIES— VIERECK. 367 



Agrees wdth Ashmead's description of Diolcogaster Ashmead. The 

 genotype of the latter genus agrees best with 'the description of 

 Protomicroplitis Ashmead as given in the original. The latter genus 

 may prove to be the same as Diolcogaster Ashmead. 



ZADIOLCOGASTER ANOMUS, new species. 



Type-locality.— Asuncion, Paraguay. 



Type. — ^Konigliche Zoologische Museum, Berlin. 



Female. — Length 3.5 mm.; stramineous and sliining; scape and 

 pedicel mostly stramineous, flagel 16-jointed, dark brown to blackish, 

 all joints at least a little longer than twice as thick and, excepting 

 the apical joint, constricted medially, making the flagel appear 31- 

 jointed, face separated from the malar space by a faint impressed 

 Hne, ocelli more or less set off by dark marks on the adjoining tegu- 

 ment; mesonotum punctured, the punctures two or three puncture 

 widths apart, scutel with its punctures much more separated than 

 those on the mesonotum, tegulse and wing base concolorous with the 

 body, wings with a brownish tinge, the membrane beyond the veins 

 darker than the rest, veins blackish like the stigma, areolet in the 

 form of an obtuse angled triangle, the longest side bounding the 

 areolet as long as the petiole, the two combined as long as the radius, 

 claws dark, hind tibise with dark tips, hind tarsi dark brown; propo- 

 deum virtually sculp tureless; first plate parallel sided or nearly so, 

 longitudinally furrowed, nearly three times as long down the middle 

 as wide at base and poorly sculptured in part, apparently mostly 

 smooth, second dorsal segment smooth and poUshed, with an oblique 

 furrow on each side of the basal half, hypopygium longer than the 

 pygidium; ovipositor exserted, the sheaths blackish, shorter than the 

 hind metatarsi. 



Allotopotype. — Essentially as in the type. Cocoon 5 by 1.5 mm., 

 snow white and covered with loose silk. 



The types and paratopotypes are labeled No. 59; 18,14/xi,'05 and 

 19, 14/xi,'05, J. D. Anisits. 



Genus ZELOMORPHA Ashmead. 



Zelomorpha AsnmE AD, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 23, 1900, p. 129. 



Type. — Zelomorpha arizonensis Ashmead, not described. 



Related to Disophrys Foerster from the genotype of which it differs, 

 especially in the shorter malar space, which is distinctly less than half 

 as long as the eye, in the flattened mandibles, which are modified to 

 shde over each other Hke the blades of a pair of scissors, by the rostrum 

 which hardly extends farther beyond the labrum than the latter is 

 long, by the face which is poorly produced between the antenna, by 

 the antennal carinee hardly surpassing the scrobes, by the absence of 

 a branch to the second transverse cubitus and by the second dorsal, 

 abdominal segment being distinctly longer than wide.
