largest joint, somewhat longer than the scape and much wider, cylin- 

 drical ovate. Pubescence of antennae very sparse, a few scattered 

 setae. (Two bladder-like appendages, one on each funicle joint in the 

 lateral aspect quite as figured for nana but their petioles more dis- 

 tinct ; minute — on one specimen.)* 



Legs simple, tibial spurs single, straight. 



From 11 specimens, i-inch objective, 1-inch optic, Bausch 

 and Lomb. 



Male. — The same, somewhat lighter in color, the abdomen similar, 

 the genitalia somewhat similar. Antennae very different, distinctly 8- 

 jointed and cylindrical, the club not differentiated and the flagellum 

 bearing long single conspicuous setae. Scape and pedicel about the 

 same, somewhat shorter; ring-joint the same; the four funicle joints 

 pentagonal, subquadrate, subequal, the third being largest ; the club 

 joint as long as the preceding joint but narrower, obtusely conical. 

 Each funicle joint bears four or five of the long setae in an irregular 

 whorl, the club joint several more. These setae are curved. (No 

 bladder-like appendages on these specimens.)* 



From 3 specimens, i-inch objective, 1-inch optic, Bausch 

 and Lomb. 



Described from three males and eleven femalest received 

 for study from Dr. L, O. Howard, Chief of the National 

 Bureau of Entomology, in two lots as follows, all mounted 

 in balsam : Lot L — Two slides labelled " From eggs of 

 Codling moth. Cape Town, S. A., 25 Jany., 1910. C. P. 

 Lounsbury," and bearing four females and three males, one 

 female respectively.! Lot IL — " Egg parasite of Carpocapsa 

 sp. ? Natal, 20-3-01. Claude Fuller," and bearing four fe- 

 males and two females respectively (two slides). 



* These minute appendages resembling somewhat a ball on the end 

 of a short rod are evidently quite easily broken off, hence their absence 

 in the majority of the specimens. 



t Since writing this, through the kindness of Dr. L. O. Howard I 

 have examined three more slides of this species, belonging to Lot I, 

 similarly labelled and each bearing 4 9 's ; two of these slides were 

 labelled 26 January, 1910, instead of the twenty-fifth. Hence a total 

 of 26 specimens have been examined.
