From larvae of this leaf-rorie'r collected on strawberry at Villa Ridge, 

 April 4, 1883, a (^ Crcmasliis was bred April 21, and a 9 of <^he same 

 species appeared May 5. Another specimen was bred in August, 1883, 

 from Phoxopteris larvae taken at Anna. 



Besides these bred specimens this parasite has been taken by sweep- 

 ing in strawberry fields at Normal during May and June, 1883 ; and at 

 Urbana during July, 1885. 



Description. — The imago may be described as follows : 

 Leni;th 6 to 7 mm. 9- Black ; clypeus, mandibles, maxillce, palpi and upper 

 two-thirds of eye-orbits, yellow. Antennae almost as long as body, piceous, yellowish 

 brown beneath near base. Face punctate. Mi^thorax, including scutellum, shm- 

 ing, punctate. Metathorax with the elevated lines well developed, and posterior 

 portion of central dorsal area transversely aciculate, while anterior portion of same 

 area, and the greater portion of the other areas, rather coarsely punctate. Posterior 

 margins of abdominal terga, behind the second, sometimes brownish. Ventrum of 

 abdomen yellowish. Ovipositor 2/3 as long as abdomen. Anterior and middle legs 

 including coxae, light yellow, with tarsi dusky. Posterior legs dull yellowish red, 

 with coxfe, except at tip, and basal portion of trochanters black, and tarsi dusky. 

 Tegulje and base of veins whitish yellow ; rest of veins, and stigma, except whitish 

 spot at base, pale brown. 



Described from many specimens bred in Illinois froin Phoxopteris 

 covipiana; and one specimen bred by Prof. A.J. Cook from the same 

 Tortricid in Michigan. 



The male differs from the female in having the entire face below the 

 insertion of the antennae and a line below a spot in front of the tegulae 

 yellow, and another yellow patch which varies much in size (being some- 

 times wanting) on each side of the front of the mesonotum. 



In a well marked variety of the male of the male, of which we have 

 bred two specimens, the face, eye-orbits and under surface of scape are 

 distinctly reddish, almost approaching vermillion. It may be called 

 variety riifus. 



Glypta phoxopteridis, sp. n. 



From a number of larvae of P. comptana collected on blackberry at 

 Anna, July 14, 1884, there was bred early in August a single specimen, 

 of an apparently undescribed species of Glypta for which I propose the 

 above name. The species is so well marked, and is of such economic 

 interest in this connection, that I describe it now, notwithstanding my 

 belief that the fewer are the descriptions that are drawn up from single 

 specimens of parasitic Hymenoptera, the better will it be for Science. 



Length 7 mm. O. Black, varied with white; face except space beneath an- 

 tennre, broad eye-orbits, clypeus, mandibles except teeth, palpi, ventrum and sides 

 of thorax, tegulae and wide line running forward, scutellum, post scutellum, lateral 

 and posterior margins of metanotum with space on meson reaching two-thirds the 

 way to the anterior margin, basal and apical margins of abdominal terga, with vent-
