 still longer than wide; club ovate, moderately slender in one aspect, 

 in the other moderately stout, equal in length to the three joints pre- 

 ceding when combined, pubescent, the setae short and in one aspect, 

 apparently with a large number of glandular pores grouped along the 

 whole length of that aspect (in reality, dense minute hairs); also with 

 a few short, curved, longitudinal sulci, arranged in pairs. 



From 4 specimens, |-inch objective, 1-inch optic, Bausch 

 and Lomb. 



Male. — Unknown. 



Redescribed at first from four female specimens in the 

 United States National Museum collection labelled " 2793'^^. 

 Par. in eggs of Ceresa biibahis. March 10, '87. From W. 

 W. Thompson, Smithville, Ga." The original specimen of 

 this species has since been found in the U. S. National Mu- 

 seum collection on a tag labelled in Ashmead's handwriting 

 '^ Gonatocerus dolichocerus Ashm., Jacksonville, Fla." It has 

 been remounted and designated on the type .*

Types. — Type No. 13,664, United States National Museum, 

 Washington, D. C, 1 female in xylol-balsam (Florida). 

 Homotypes. — Four females in xylol-balsam, 1 slide (1 perfect

This species is similar to Gonatoceriis anthonomi Girault 

 described from the same general locality but differs in being 

 decidedly more robust, more particularly in having a mar- 

 ginal vein of the fore wing which is about a fourth longer 

 than in that species and in having broader fore wings. From 

 the species americanus Brues it differs, according to the de- 

 scription of that species, in having much longer proximal 

 funicle joints of the antennae, the first two taken together 



* Subsequently, a female specimen has been found in the collections 

 of the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History, mounted on a tag 

 numbered 3681 ; it was captured by sweeping in a strawberry field at 

 Anna. 111., July 31, 1883 (H. Garman) ; it has somewhat narrower fore 

 wings. Remounted in balsam,
