Female. — Length 8.5 mm.; head, thorax, and propodeum reddish; 

 lateral ocelli oval, distinctly nearer to the eye margin than to each 

 other, the distance between them and the nearest eye margin shorter 

 than the shortest diameter of the same oceUi, flagel more than 23- 

 jointed, with all the joints to the twenty- third inclusive distinctly 

 longer than thick, \vith appressed pubescence and almost equidistant, 

 almost erect, isolated setae, antennae brownish throughout, mouth 

 parts mostly pale brown, mandibles rather stramineous, castaneous 

 beyond the middle except for the blackish tips, space between ocelli 

 dark brownish; tcgulse and wing base brownish, fore and mid coxae 

 rather stramineous with a brownish tinge, rest of fore and mid legs 

 mostly brownish, hind legs with their coxae, trochanters and femora 

 reddish, their tibiae reddish brown except for the brownish base and 

 apex, their tarsi dark brown; wings transparent with a brownish 

 tinge; the stigma and veins brownish; second transverse cubitus 

 angulate at or a little below the middle; propodeum with ten areas 

 the areola forming an acute angled triangle, the petiolarea forming a 

 hexagon twice as long as its greatest width; first, dorsal segment 

 blackish, smooth and shining, at least one and one-half times as long 

 as wide at apex and nearly three times as wide at apex as at base;

 segment rather reddish. In four paratypes from Laredo, Texas, May 

 27, the dorsum of the abdomen is usually mostly reddish and in one 

 specimen the thorax is partly asymmetrically blackish. 



The above descriptions are the result of a comparison of a specimen 

 of the genotype of Disophrys Foerster from Blankenburg, Germany, 

 with the material noted above. In other important particulars the 

 two species agree. 



Family ICHNEUMONID.E. 

 AGLAOJOPPIDEA, new genus. 



Type. — {Tragus) Aglaojoppideafascipennis (Cresson). 



Judging from descriptions this is related to Aglaojoppa Cameron, 

 from the original description of which it differs in the female in the 

 propodeum being exareolate except for the basal transverse carina
