With the habitus of a Pirenine, Tetracampine or Spalangia. Caudal 

 tibial spur single, small. Proximal tarsal joint longest of the four. 

 Sculpture very fine, usual for the group. Coxse elongate. Antennae 

 10-jointed with two ring-joints. 



Stigmatotrastichus emersoni new species. Genotype. 

 Female: Length, about 0.90 mm. Very dark aeneous black, the 

 scape, the pedicel except above, coxse, tarsi except the last joint, lips of 

 tibiae, proximal third of caudal tibias (and very much less of the other 

 tibice) and the abdominal petiole, white. Fore wings embrowned 

 (most deeply under the marginal vein) but clear under distal three- 

 fourths of the submarginal vein and with a hyaline, subnaked cross- 

 stripe (abbreviated caudad) from the apex of the postmarginal vein 

 (crossing the stigmal). Pedicel elongate, over twice longer than wide, 

 a little over half the length of the scape. Funicle 1 subequal to the 

 pedicel, 2 much shorter, somewhat longer than wide, 3 subqtiadrate, as 

 long as club 3 (the longest of the club) which ends in an acute, nipple- 

 hke point. Bulb of scape black. Ring-joints sub-equal, distinct. 



Described from a female on a tag in the U. S. N. M., labelled 

 " Paraspalangia annulipes Ashmead, female type. Type No. 

 12731, U. S. N. M. College Station, Texas, Banks, September. " 



Type: Catalogue No. 12731, U. S. N. M., the forede- 

 scribed female and a slide bearing an antenna, a fore wing and 

 the caudal legs. 



Paraspalangia Ashmead was proposed as a new genus in the 

 Spalangiinae but no species was ever described though one was 

 named as above. 



Parecrizotes new genus. 

 Female: In Ashmead 's table to the Pireninse runs to Ecrizotes 

 Foerster but differs from that genus in having the marginal vein dis- 

 tinctly thickened at base, the thickening conical distad and occupying 

 about half of the length of the vein which is somewhat less than twice 

 the length of the well-developed, curved stigmal, the latter a little 

 shorter than the postmarginal. Ovipositor valves extruded for a length 

 about half that of the abdomen, the latter conical and a little longer 

 than the rest of the thorax. Parapsidal furrows complete, deep, Scu- 

 tellum simple. Propodeum very short at the meson, lengthening 

 laterad, practically noncarinate. Pronotum subtransverse-quadrate. 

 Strigil strong, also the caudal tibial spurs, the latter unequal, not 

 enlarged especially. Legs moderate. Head wider than the thorax, the 

 vertex wide, the antennae inserted near the clypeus, 11-jointed with one- 

 minute ring-joint, the five funicle joints enlarging distad, the wider, 

 large-ovate club nearly as long as the funicle. Mandibles palmately 

 4-dentate. Maxillary palpi 4-jointed. Scutellum with a lateral groove 

 like the second one of the Tetrastichini. Head somewhat longer than 

 wide.
