N. jmbescens, sp. n., is described, being found only on very young 

 plants of white ash in shady and damp places. Xenoborus pettiti, 

 Rent., breeds on F. americana in company with T. cardinalis and 

 N. canadensis. X. neglectus, sp. n., is described ; this species has not 

 been found abundantly, but probably occurs in numbers on black ash 

 in June. X. plagifer, Reut., breeds only on black ash growing in 

 dense swampy woods. X. commissuralis, Reut., was found abundantly 

 on F. nigra in company with X. plagifer.

 Entom. Soc, Brooklyn, N.Y., xii, no. 4, October 1917, pp. 86-89. 



Among the species described are : — Eurydinota lividicorpus, sp. n., 

 reared from Coleophora malivorella in Cahfornia ; Telenomusfuscicornis, 

 Ashm., from the eggs of a moth which feeds upon Crotolana retusa in 

 St. Vincent, and Eurytonia pissodis, sp. n., taken from the pupal 

 chambers of Pissodes strobi in September, in Minnesota.

 from Cecidomyiid Galls.— ^ww. Entom. Soc. America, Columbus, 

 Ohio, xii, no. 2, June 1919, pp. 159-170. 



The new Chalcids reared from galls of Aspiliondylia websteri. Felt, 

 here described, include Eurytoma medicaginis ; Callitnome asphon- 

 dyliae, which may be a secondary parasite ; Syntomaspis medicaginis ; 

 Pseudocatolaccus americanus, which is a true parasite ; Tetrastichus 

 sobrius, which maybe a primary or secondary parasite and may also 

 have been parasitic on Bruchophagus funebris ; and Galeopsomopsis 

 transcarinatus, which may be a primary or secondary parasite. 



Syntomaspis umbilicata was reared from a Cecidomyiid on Suaeda 

 sp., and the Eulophid, Paragaleopsomyia gallicola, from Cecidomyid 

 stem-galls on Pluchea borealis. 



Specimens of Bruchophagm funebris, How., were reared from galls 

 of Asphondylia websteri, but may have developed in the lucerne seeds 

 present. The Pteromalid, Trimeromicrus maculates, Gahan, was 

 reared from galls of A. websteri in conjunction with B. funebris, of 

 which it is a true parasite ; this, as well as the Eulophid, Tetrastichus 

 bruchophagi, Gahan, reared under similar conditions, may prove to be 

 secondary parasites of A. websteri.
