The foregoing notes taken from a single specimen, a 

 female, remounted in balsam from a tag and received from 

 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse ; the specimen was labelled " Oophilus 

 lo72gica2ida Enock. 9 . Richmond, Eng. 7. 9. 10. C. O. 

 Waterhouse." The name of the species is now Gonatocerus 

 longicajida (Enock). 



Genus ALAPTUS Haliday. 

 1. "Alaptus pallipes Ashmead." 



As was shown elsewhere, this species was generically lost. 

 Its position is definitely fixed beyond, where it is placed with 

 Anaphes and redescribed. It has been captured in Illinois. 



Genus LITUS Haliday. 

 1. Litus ariuatiis Ashmead. 

 Ashmead, 1887, p. 193. 



An examination of the original specimen of this species 

 shows that the tarsi are 4-jointed and that the insect has 

 anaphine affinities. It is doubtless one of the common spe- 

 cies of A?iagrus but at present I am unable to place it. 



In Ashmead's handwriting the specimen was simply label- 

 led " Litus armatus Ashmead, Jacksonville, Fla. Type." 

 and no number was attached to the specimen. It is quite 

 as described but the wings are now missing. 



Further examination of this specimen shows that it is an 

 Anagrus. Furthermore, the species is common in Illinois 

 and varies considerably in color. It is a very beautiful form 

 and has characteristic wing shape and antennse, and thus may 

 be easily recognized. 



In order that this recognition may be possible and easy in 

 the future, I have made extensive descriptive notes beyond, 

 describing at the same time a color variety of the species. 

 These notes are taken from the specimens mentioned in the 

 place intimated as having been captured in Illinois. 



Subfamily Mymarin^. 



Tribe Anaphini. 



Genus ANAPHES Haliday. 



The only difference betw^een this genus and Anagrtis Hali- 

 day, so far as I am able to see, is that described for the male
