more coarsely rugulose, the larger elevations taking a longitudinal 
direction, no central furrow or carina; pronotal spot very small, not 
visible from above. Abdomen as long as head and thorax together; 
joints 4, 6, and 7 subequal in length, the fifth a little longer; joint 3a 
little longer than 4; 2 hardly longer than 5 and 4 united; funicle joints 
2 to 5 submoniliform, but still a little longer than broad. All legs 
(except cox) and antenne honey-yellow, flagellum and femora a little 
darker; claw of stigmal club straight, given off well before tip of club; 
pilosity sparse. 
Male.—The only males which I have seen are the two from the Harris 
collection. These are both in very bad condition; neither has an abdo- 
men and one has no antenne. With the other but three funicle joints 
remain on the left antenna (the others being broken off) and four on 
the right, but the latter are still inclosed in the pupal sheath. The 
three funicle joints remaining on the left antenna are not pedicellate, 
very slightly arched above, and furnished with close, moderately short 
hair not arranged in whorls; joint 1 longest, 2 and 3 successively 
decreasing. Joint 4 is still shorter, judging from the sheathed right 
antenna. 
Described from 14 female and 2 male specimens, two females from 
the Fitch collection, labeled in Fitch’s handwriting “Hurytoma fulvipes 
Fh.,” ten females reared in the Division of Entomology, January 23, 1883, 
from stems of barley received from W. Couper, ‘Canada West,” and two 
females and two males from the Harris collection, reared from barley, 
June 15, 1830. 
Isosoma secale Fitch. 
Eurytoma secalis Fitch, Amer. Agric, Aug., 1861, vol. Xx, p. 236. 
Isosoma hordei (var.) Walsh, Amer, Entom., Oct., 1870, vol. 11, p. 330. 
Female.—Length, 3.6 mm.; expanse, 6,6 mm. Vunetation as with 
preceding species; pronotal spot large, plainly seen from above. Abdo- 
men as long as head and thorax; segments 4 and 5 subequal; 6 and 7 
together shorter than 5; 2 much longer than 4 and 5 together. Color 
black; scape and legs black; front tibiz, knees, and tips of middle and 
hind tibiw and all tarsi honey-yellow; claw of stigmal club given off 
hear tip of club, somewhat curved; antenne as with preceding species. 
Male.—Length, 3 mm.; expanse, 5 mm. Specimen in rather poor 
condition. Expansion of scape more abrupt from tip than with other 
males described; funicle joints well arched above, scarcely pedicellate, 
each with two indefinite whorls of hair and with no median constrie- 
tion; each joint twice as long as wide; club plainly divided into two 
joints, but no trace of pedicel to terminal joint, resembling hordei in 
this respect; petiole a little shorter than hind cox and shorter than 
first abdominal segment.
