Habitat. — United States: Wisconsin (Milwaukee); Vir- 

 ginia (Arlington); Illinois (Algonquin). 



Tj/'^.— Type No. 13,818, United States National Museum, 

 Washington, D. C, one female in xylol-balsam, 1 slide 

 (Milwaukee, Wis.). 



Cotype. — Accession No. 44,246, Illinois State Laboratory 

 of Natural History, Urbana, Illinois, one female in balsam 

 (Algonquin, 111.). 



Subsequently I have found another female of this species 

 remounted in xylol-balsam from a tag in the Nason collec- 

 tion and labelled in Ashmead's handwriting " Cosmocoma 

 howardii Ashm. Algonquin, 111. 5. 10. 96—151. 6809." 

 This is designated as the cotype (head missing); see Nason 

 (1906, p. 8).

From the single type specimen of this species I have taken 

 the following notes : Second funicle joint of antenna longest, 

 slender, nearly thrice the length of the first joint and a third 

 longer than the third funicle joint : fourth funicle joint sub- 

 equal to the first ; fifth and sixth subequal, oval, shortest, a 

 third shorter than the first ; funicle gradually enlarging be- 

 yond the second joint ; club of antenna large, egg-shaped, 

 distinctly longer than the united lengths of joints 2 and 3 of 

 the funicle ; funicle joint 3 long-ovate, 4 cylindrical oval ; 

 pedicel slightly longer than the proximal funicle joint. Fore 

 wings narrow, moderately, densely, uniformly ciliate, the 

 longest marginal cilia about a third as long as the greatest 

 wing width, hyaline. Fore wings with the discal cilia ar- 

 ranged in about from ten to twelve to fifteen longitudinal 

 lines at the widest blade portion, each cilium moderately 

 long but the lines not separable. Ovipositor not at all ex- 

 serted. Body shining, no conspicuous sculpture. Fore wing 

 with a clear naked band across it just beyond the apex of the 

 venation, the discal ciliation disappearing abruptly proxiniad 

 some distance distal of the venation ; in this type specimen,
