1909] The Mymarid Genus Camptoptera 27 



Antennae elbowed, about as long as the body, 9-jointed. 

 Scape very long, subclavate, narrow basally, about as long, or 

 not quite so, as the next three joints combined, or about five times 

 the length of the pedicel. Pedicel short, very much smaller, 

 obconic. Joints 3 and 4 slender, cylindric, 4 longer, about twice 

 the length of the pedicel, both slenderer than the scape and pedi- 

 cel; 5, 6, and 7 equal, columnar, stouter than 3 and 4, but much 

 shorter, yet far longer than the pedicel. Joint 8 equal to 5, 

 and 7, but slightly stouter. Club cylindric, not as long as the 

 scape, but much stouter, about equal in length to 6, 7, and 8 com- 

 bined. 



From a single female captured while jarring peach at Arlington 

 \^irginia, June 2, 1905. A rather large and striking species. 



Type. — No. 8941, United States National Museum." i 9, 

 tagmounted. Male, unknown. 



This description also is not as detailed as it might be. The 

 type, being an unique, has not been accessible, but Mr. J. C. Craw- 

 ford, of the United States National Museum, Division of Insects, 

 at my request, kindly furnished the following additional and 

 important descriptive details: The petiole is acute or barbed at 

 the lateral margins, as in pulla; the vertexal carina is present; 

 and there are four rows of discal cilia on the fore wings — one near 

 the cephalic margin; two, not in stright lines, along the middle 

 portion of the wing, one on each side of a darkened line on the 

 wing, the line representing an obsolete vein ; and the fourth near 

 the caudal wing margin. I am also informed that the type 

 specimen is broken, the head and thorax together parted from the 

 abdomen, but remounted on the same tag. 



4. Camptoptera pulla species nova. 



Fcmnlc. — Length, 0.84 mm. Minute. 



General color uniformly greyish black (near cologne earth); scape, pedicel, 

 1st funicle joint (less so) and legs (including at least the intermediate coxae, the 

 others not visible) all pale clay yellow; reinaining antennal joints concolorous 

 with body, the tirst funicle joint intermediate in color, dusky yellow; eyes and 

 ocelli dark red; usual vertexal carina present; thorax longer than abdomen, the 

 latter subnapiform, widest and acute at proximal third and narrowing gradually 

 to a point caudad, and truncately oblique to the petiole, cephalad; petiole short, 

 acutely produced or barbed laterad just caudad of its center and with a small 

 circtilar whitish dot in the middle of its dorsal aspect at base. Body apparently 

 impunctate. Legs normal, the tarsal joints subequal, the proximal tarsal joint 

 not much longer than any of the others, but subecjual to them. Wings normal, 

 longer than body; fore wings hyaline, .slightly fumated near bas;, and with a 

 slight but usual dilatation along the caudal margin at proximal fourth, curved 

 at the apical fourth, and with moderately long marginal fringes which have the 

 usual clear path around the edge of the wing at ape-x; di.scal cilia numerous, about 

 from 3 to 4 longitudinal rows; venation dusky, inconspicuous; apical margin of
