Type 9 in Coll. Ashmead, from Ottawa. This is one of our coni- 

 monest proctotrypids. The typical form has abbreviated wings, but 

 individuals of both sexes occur with fully developed wings. The males 

 are rare, especially those of the short-winged form. The insects can bo 

 easily obtained by sweeping the herbage of swampy localities during 

 August and September. They can also be obtained by sifting moss col- 

 lected at the beginning of winter, but the specimens so found are all of 

 the short-winfrcd race.
