Many specimens of a new Proctotrupid, Polygnotus vernalis, which is 

 described in this paper, were reared from Hessian fly puparia collected 

 during the summer of 1915 from various localities in Pennsylvania 

 and Virginia. The author considers that this parasite may prove to 

 be identical with Platygaster zosine, Wlk.
