As pointed out by Dr. K. Kertesz this species cannot be placed 



in the same genus with Cynipimorpha hilimeki Brauer on account 



of the great difference in the antennae. It was later placed by Dr. 



Enderlein in the above genus. A specimen in my collection from 



Mexico agrees with Williston's description except that the femora 



are yellow with a slight brownish tinge below, and not "except the 



tips, nearly black." This is evidently a variable character and the 



specimen probably represents the extreme range of variation in 



this respect. The third joint of the antenna^ under a hand lens 



(12 diameters) is "finely roughened" but under the binocular with
