The following hitherto unpublished description of this species was 

 drawn up by Mr, Ashmead and sent by him to Dr. Fletcher in Septem-

Telenonms pamphilw, sp. nov. 



$. — Length 1 mm. Black, polished, except tlie mesonotum, which is sub- 

 opaque, sparsely microscoj)ically punctate, and clothed with a i)ubescence. Head 

 a little more than thrice as wide as long antero-posteriorly, smooth and shining, 

 except a faint microscopic punctuation on vertex posteriorly, only visible under a 

 strong lens ; eyes oval, very faintly and sparsely pubescent ; mandibles rufo- 

 testaceous ; palpi whitish ; antenufe eleven-jointed, black or brown-black, the 

 flagellum, including the pedicel, not quite twice as long as the scape, the first 

 funicular joint about one-third longer than the pedicel, the second about half the 

 length of the first, the third a little smaller than the second, the fourth monili- 

 form ; the first joint of the club is the same length as the fourth funicular joint, but 

 nearly twice its width, the club joints 2, 3 and 4 are larger, quadrate, and about of 

 an equal size, the last, or joint 5, being conical. Legs brown-black, the trochan- 

 ters, all knees and tai-si, except their last joint, and the anterior tibite and extreme 

 apex of middle and hind tibia?, honey-yellow. "Wings hyaline, the venation 

 fuscous or brownish, the marginal vein being scarcely half the length of the 

 stigmal, while the postmargiual is fully one and a half times as long as the stigmal. 

 Abdomen broadly oval, smooth and highly polished, except the short petiole and 

 the second segment at extreme base (in the suture), which are striated ; the second 

 segment is very little longer than wide, and occupies most of the surface, the 

 terminal segments being extremely short and retracted within the second. 

 Habitat. — Ottawa, Canada. 



Described from two ? specimens bred in September, 1894, by Mr, 

 James Fletcher, from the eggs of Pamphila metacvinet. 



The species approaches nearest to T. utahpnsis Ashm., taken by Mr. 

 Schwarz in Utah, but differs in the relative length of the antenna! joints 

 and in having a longer second abdominal segment. (W, II. Ashmead, 

 September 30th, 1894.)
