 cyhac Ashm. Mon. Proct. N. A. p. 89. 



Swezey bred a number of males and females, determined as 

 above by Ashmead, from cocoons obtained from the Fulgorid. 

 Ormcnis pruinosa. He rightly concluded that they were sexes of 

 one species, as was subse([uently confirmed by breeding' hun- 

 dreds of both sexes from tocoons sent from N. America by 

 Koebele. Copulation was observed on many occasions. The 

 males retained 'by Swezey do not in any way agree in the struct- 

 ure of the antennae with Ashmead's description of these parts 

 in the original example of Lahco typhlocybac, bred by Riley from 

 a Typhlocyba on Celt is. If that description is correct, it is not 

 only utterly impossible that the type of L. typhlocybae can be- 

 long to the same species as the male of Dryiims omcnidis, but 

 further, it cannot be placed in the same genus in my opinion. 



Ashmead's description of type 

 of Labco typhlocybac. 

 "Antennae lo-jointed"; 



"the pedicel is more than 

 twice as long as the scape ; 

 the first flagellar joint is two- 

 thirds the length of pedicel: 

 the fourth and fifth equal and 

 a little longer than the first." 



Description of three males in 

 Swezey's collection. 

 The scape is stout and as 

 long or longer than the pedi- 

 cel, not shorter; the first flag- 

 ellar joint is very long, about 

 e(|ual to the scape and pedicel 

 together, and distinctly long- 

 er than the following joints 

 of the flagellum.
