1916] Miscellaneous Chalcidoid Hymenoptera 293 



Cirrospilopsis fuscipennis new species. 



Female: Length, 1.00 mm. 



Orange yellow, the abdomen dusky but the incisions of the seg- 

 ments showing through as dull yellow; meson of propodeum and last 

 two pairs of tibiae, blackish. Fore wings hyaline but with a conspicuous 

 smoky cross-stripe from the marginal vein, the apical margin of which 

 slopes distad from the apex of the stigmal vein for a length about 

 equal to that vein, then slopes back, thus a cone; its proximal margin 

 is nearly straight and a little distad of the origin of the marginal vein. 

 Venation dusky yellow, the marginal vein nearly as long as the sub- 

 marginal, over thrice the length of the rather long stigmal, the latter 

 a third longer than the postmarginal. Marginal cilia of the fore wing 

 distinctly longer than usual, about somewhat longer than a fourth the 

 greatest wing width. Marginal vein with long bristles. Mandibles 

 5-dentate. Pedicel a half longer than wide at apex, longer than either 

 funicle joint of which 2 is subglobular, 1 somewhat longer than wide. 

 Terminal nipple of club small, distinct. Caudal wings where broadest 

 with about eight lines of discal cilia. Head and thorax finely reticulated. 

 Propodeum with a median carina and no others. Club rather large. 

 Abdomen longer than the thorax. Fourth joint of the tarsi black. 



Described from one female captured September 11, 1915, by 

 sweeping meadows at Glenndale, Prince George County, 

 Maryland. 



Type: Catalogue No. 19931, U. S. N. M., the above speci- 

 men on a tag, the head, a hind leg and the fore wing on a slide. 



Uscanopsis new genus. 

 Female: In my table to the Ophioneurini runs to Uscanoidea Girault 

 but differs from that genus in bearing two ring- joints in the antenna 

 and both the marginal and stigmal veins are distinctly longer, the 

 stigmal vein with a distinct, rather slender neck, the oblique line of cilia 

 from the stigmal vein is present (not isolated but limiting the discal 

 ciliation proximad) . Marginal vein somewhat over half the length of the 

 submarginal. Club conic-ovate, with rather long, scraggly hairs, its 

 second joint much the longest, joint 1 much wider than long. Caudal 

 wings short and broad, with three lines of discal cilia, the fainter one 

 caudad, the others paired. Male the same but the club shorter. Discal 

 ciliation of fore wing normal, that is, not in regular lines, not so dense as 

 in Tumidifemur. Tarsal joints short. Cephalic tibial spur minute, 

 straight, the caudal one elongate, three-fourths the length of the tarsus. 

 Club articulation not very distinct. Otherwise as in the named genus. 



Uscanopsis carlylei new species. Genotype. 



Female: Length, 0.60 mm. 



Black, the head and thorax (except a cuneate marking from cephalic 

 margin of scutum to distal fourth and the disk of the parapsides) orange 

 yellow, the fore wings infuscated lightly from the bend of the sub-
