parapsidal furrows are complete, widely separated. Both the discal 

 and the marginal ciliation of the fore wing is shorter in this species 

 than in sordidata, especially noticeable along the cephalic wing 

 margin ; in piiUicnira they are still somewhat longer than in the last- 

 named species. Another point of difference between pullicrnra itself 

 and conotracheli and the type species taken together is that in the 

 former the longest marginal cilia of the fore wing are about equal 

 in length to the greatest wing width but in the latter two species 

 distinctly shorter than the wing is wide. 



The males differ from the males of the type species in antenna! 

 structures, having shorter flagellar joints as brought out in the table. 

 Otherwise there are no very noticeable differences. 



Redescribed from the following specimens: (i) Cotypical speci- 

 mens, 4 J*'s, 2 5's on a single slide in balsam labelled " From eggs of 

 Conotrachehis nenuphar Herbst, Fort Valley, Ga., May lo, 1905. 

 A. L. Quaintance." And reared at Washington, D. C, from hosts 

 transported through the mails. (2) Metatypical specimens, 4 ^'s, 

 10 5's on a single balsam slide labelled " Quaintance No. 883. 

 Anaphcs conotracheli Girault. From the eggs of Conotrachclus 

 nenuphar. From hosts in plums received from W. E. Britton, Berlin, 

 Conn., J"ly 10, 1905." Reared at Washington, D. C. And (3) meta- 

 typical specimens, 5 J^'s, 11 ^'s. labelled " Quaintance No. 902. From 

 eggs of C. nenuplwr. From hosts in plums received from W. E. 

 Britton, Berlin, Conn., July 12, 1905." Also reared at Washington. 

 These specimens, excepting the first series, were kindly loaned to me 

 by Prof. A. L. Quaintance, Bureau of Entomology, U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, through the courtesy of Dr. L. 

 O. Howard, Chief of Bureau, and all of them were reared during 

 1905 from the eggs of the host mentioned transported to Washington 

 from various points in the United States. With the exception of 

 the types and cotypes, all of these specimens are in the collections of 

 the Bureau of Entomology, Division of Deciduous Fruit Insect 

 Investigations.* 



* I have since examined all of the material in the family Mymarid^e in the 

 collections of the U. S. National Museum and find included therein 4 male 

 and 2 female metatypical specimens of this species, tag-mounted and each 

 labelled " Quaintance No. 270. On Conofrachelus nenuphar, Arundel, Mary- 

 land, V, 19, 1905. A. A. Girault, Collector." The collections of the National 

 Museum therefore contain the 4 type specimens and these metatypes.
