third, apex of fourth, and all of fifth and sixth Begments dark brown or black; 

 ovipositor very dark brown, sheaths black; four anterior legs rather testaceous, 

 posterior tibite and tarsi brownish. 



Type: University of Kansas. Type locality : Douglas county, Kansas. June. 



Eiphosoma pyralidis Ashmead. 



This species is very distinct from its congeners in having a perfect areola 

 which is rather oval in outline and nearly three times as long as wide. 



Male. Douglas county, Kansas, 900 feet. 



Erymotylus felti, n. sp. 



In the length of the recurrent nervures and in the pectination of the claws 

 this species is like macrurus ; in the booklets of the posterior wings like arctise. 



Female. — Length, 15 mm. Head nearly circular; the ocelli well separated, 

 the distance between them and between them and the eye nearly equal to the 

 width of an ocellus ; eyes gently emarginate within the inner margin barely sinu- 

 ate ; malar space nearly as high as the space between the lateral ocellus and the 

 eye margin; head shining; cheeks apparently impunctate; the face closely 

 punctured, sparsely along the eyes; clypeus rather sparsely, much more coarsely 

 punctured than the face; antennae fifty-two jointed, the scape and pedicellum 

 together a little shorter than the first joint of the flagellum. Thorax shining; 

 dorsulum sparsely to closely punctured with small punctures; parapsidal grooves 

 absent, indicated only by shallow impressions near the anterior margin , meso- 

 pleura closely, distinctly punctured, with a short oblique impression near and 

 nearly parallel with the posterior margin of the sclerite ; scutellum sparsely 

 punctured; metanotum rather indistinctly, closely punctured laterally, sparsely 

 above, the disc also somewhat wrinkled and with a shallow longitudinal chan- 

 nel; metapleura more closely punctured than the mesopleura ; wings faintly 

 brown, almost clear, stigma brownish testaceous, nervures dark brown; abcissa 

 between the basal nervure and the transverse median nervure about as long as 

 the penultimate joint of the flagellum ; transverse median nervure in the poste- 

 rior wings broken two-thirds the length of the nervure above the base. Head 

 and thorax covered with short, white pubescence, nowhere sufficiently abundant 

 to hide the surface. Abdomen polished, all the segments except the petiole with 

 rather sparse microscopic setigerous punctures. Yellow; eyes and ocelli black; 

 tips of mandibles dark brown; flagellum nearly orange, but darker; dorsulum 

 with broad testaceous stripes; sternum, legs, venter of abdomen, second dorsal 

 segment, and margins of the remaining segments more or less brownish testa- 

 ceous. 



Type: University of Kansas. Type locality : Hamilton county, Kansas, 3350 

 feet. June, 1902, F, H. Snow. 



Paratype from Denver, Colo., collected in June, is in the collection of the 

 American Entomological Society. 



Named in honor of Prof. E. P. Felt. 



Ophion idoneum, n. sp. 



Related to tityri, from which it difPers in the more separated ocelli, the not 

 strongly appendiculate subdiscoidal nervure, and in the sculpture of the metano- 

 tum, which has but one quadrangular area, the areola. 



Male. — Length, 14 mm. Structure of the head nearly as in E. felti; cheeks 

 rather sparsely punctured; face closely punctured, even to the eye margins; 

 punctures of the clypeus more separated than on the face; mandibles deeply 

 punctured; antennae over fifty-four jointed (apical joints broken off). Dorsulum 

 shining; with the parapsidal grooves rather distinct on the anterior third, the
