HIMENOPTEKORUM CHALCIDOIDICORUM. 37 



My former references to Anagyrus have always been to those 

 species from Australia, so referred, but \vhich appear to repre- 

 sent a new geuus. They have the marginal vein punctiform, 

 which means no longer than wide, that is, circular, a point ; 

 the second tooth of the mandibles is broadly truncate. In 

 Anagyrus, the marginal vein is plainly twice longer than wide or 

 more (as seen under the microscope). The genus is very closely 

 .allied with Dinocarsis. 



Sympiesis niarylandensis, n. sp. 



Female. — Length, 2-15 mm. Slender. 



Brilliant metallic green, the wings hyaline, the venation, legs, 

 -scape and pedicel (except above in both), pale yellowish; venter of 

 the abdomen (except the brownish margins and the black distal fourth 

 and tip of the ovipositor valves) pale yellow ; dorsum of abdomen, 

 metallic purplish excepting a tolerably broad pale yellow cross-stripe 

 a little distad of middle and not quite reaching the margin on each 

 side. Abdomen at base above metallic green. Thorax scaly reti- 

 •culate, the axillae advanced half cephalad of the scutellum, the 

 propodeum with a distinct median and lateral carina, the caudal 

 margin also carinated, the surface between the median and lateral 

 ■carina cross-wrinkled, the spiracle oval, not large ; lateral carina 

 straight, not changing direction. Marginal vein somewhat over twice 

 the length of. the stigmal, the latter much shorter than the post- 

 marginal. Abdomen conical, a fourth or more longer than the thorax. 

 Mandibles 7-dentate. Pedicel somewhat longer than wide at apex, 

 slightly larger than club 2 ; funicle 1 over twice longer than wide, 2 

 a little shorter, 4 a half longer than wide. Club terminating in a 

 ■ distinct nipple which is very small, appears to be articulated and 

 ■bears no terminal spine. 



Described from one female captured in the forest, Prince 

 •George County, Maryland. 



Type. — Catalogue No. 20,137, U.S.N.M., the above specimen, 

 ^he Ciiudal tibise and head on a slide. 



Anagyrus suhaibicornis (Girault). 



Many females reared from Pf.eudococcus bakeri on grape, 

 Presno, California, February, 1915 (E. L. Nougaret). 



Euplectrus platypeiia, Howard. 



Many females, one male reared from the larva of Cirnhis 

 Jiainidicola, Esperauza, British West Indies, December, 1912 

 '(F. W. Urich). Compared with types. 



Podagrion luantidiphagmn, n, sp. 



Female. — Of the stature and so on of mantis Ashmead from which 

 it differs as follows : The caudal femur is entirely yellow except a 

 broad, oblique metallic stripe centrally, mesal aspect ; the propodeum 

 is rougher (rugose) and the split median carina does not diverge so 

 rapidly from the base. Otherwise very similar. Caudal tibia white
