Genus EURYTOMOCHARIS Ashmead. 
Eurytomocharis eragrostidis 1. sp. (fig. 8). 
Female.—Leugth, 1.8 mm; expanse, 4 mm. Head and thorax very 
faintly shagreened, with minute wmbilicate punctures on pronotum 
and larger ones on mesoscutellum; metanotum with central longitud- 
mut not emarginate. Abdomen shorter than tho- 
: is2 and 3 together; 2 and 3 subequal; 5 and 6 
short. <A ©) globose funicle joints; joint 1 of funicle a little 
rer than. per thers subequal; club ovate, a little longer than 
funicle joints 4 and 5 together. All legs, including cox, dark yellow 
brown. 
Male.—Length, 1.2 mm; expanse, 2.6 mm. Petiole faintly seulp- 
tured, as long as hind coxe; antennie with the 5 funicle joints strongly 
arched above and pedicellate; the body of each joint nearly as wide as

long; scape broad, slightly widened below; pedicel globose; club as 
long as two preceding funicle joints together, not obviously divided. 
Described from very many male and female specimens reared Sep- 
tember, 1885, and March, 1886, from stems of Hragrostis powoides, 
collected at Lafayette, Ind., by F. M. Webster. The infested grass 
stem is as a general thing not at all or very slightly swollen. The 
larva excavates it for a distance of an inch or more and issues from a 
round hole. The first or second joint below the head seems to be the 
portion of the grass most commonly attacked. 
Eurytomocharis triodie 1. sp. 
Female.—Length, 3.2 mm.; expanse, 5 mm. Resembles closely the 
foregoing species, except that it is considerably larger. Head, pro- 
notum, and mesonotum coarsely umbilicate-punctate; metanotum with 
very shallow emarginate central furrow with transverse rugosities
