distal and proximal ends of the submarginal and stigmal veins respec- 

 tively. The marginal vein does not touch the costal wing margin but 

 nearly does so. The marginal fringes of the fore wing are about as 

 figured for the type species and the wing is broad, its broadest portion 

 at the distal fifth, far distad from the end of the venation and there 

 are about twelve longitudinal lines of discal cilia, the lines distant from 

 each other and the ciliation colorless, not clearly visible at all except- 

 ing with the brightest of lights and then but faintly. Apparently very 

 similar to that of the type species. 



From 1 specimen, i-inch objective, 1-inch optic, Bausch 

 and Lomb. 



Described from a single male specimen formerly tag- 

 mounted now remounted in balsam, from the U. S. National 

 Museum collection, Washington, D. C, labelled as follows: 

 " Poropeus sp, from eggs of Attelabis analis ". 



Habitat. — United States (east). 



Type. — Type No. 13,632, United States National Museum, 

 Washington, D. C, 1 male in xylol-balsam. 



Girault (1907 b) records a Poropcea from the eggs of Atte- 



labus bipustulatus Fabricius and the record may refer to the 



above specimen ; but I have reason to think otherwise. I 



remember seeing at least one of the specimens of that record 



in Dr. A. D. Hopkins' office and if my recollection is right, 



it was mounted in balsam. Dr. Hopkins was the one who 



reared it and according to him the specimens cannot be found 



now.

An examination of some trichogrammatines recently reared 

 from Fidia viticida at North East, Pennsylvania, the host 

 from which this species was originally described, leads to 

 the belief that they are really fidice and if so that species was 

 wrongly described.
