PARASITES REARED FROM EGGS OP GIPSY MOTH. 3 



ocelli at angles of slightly acute-angled triangle, lateral ocelli nearer 

 eye-border than to each other; occipital margin somewhat roimded; 

 eyes large, well rounded, rigid (keeping their shape after death), very 

 faintly hairy. Antennal scape slender, subcylindrical; pedicel nearly 

 three times as long as broad; funicle subcylindrical, joint 1 short, 

 about one-half length of pedicel, remaining joints increasing slightly 

 in length and width to club, except that joint 6 is slightly shorter than 

 5; club ovate, flattened, nearly as long as last three funicle joints 

 together, basal joint longest. Body stout; mesonotal axilla? well 

 separated at tips; mesoscutellum well rounded; abdomen shorter 

 than thorax, short-ovate. Wings long and broad; marginal vein 

 punctiform; stigmal rather long, slender, slightl}" enlarged at tip> 

 extending into the wing-disc at an angle of about 35 degrees with the 

 costa; postmarginal evident, but not so long as stigmal; wing-disc 

 with an oblique hairless streak extending from stigmal vein toward 

 the base of the wing; hind wings rather narrow, but densely and 

 uniformly ciliate. 



Male. — Differs from female principally in the shorter abdomen and 

 in the antennae. Antennae with scape slightly widened below; pedicel 

 obconical, very shghtly longer than width at tip; first funicle joint 

 slightly longer than pedicel; funicle joints 1 to 5 subequal in length 

 and width, 6 somewdiat shorter; all funicle joints somewhat convex 

 on outer side, nearly straight on inner side ; club ovate, rather broadly 

 flattened, somewhat longer than funicle joints 5 and 6 together; all 

 of flagellum beyond pedicel rather closely furnished with hairs averag- 

 ing about two-thirds the length of the respective sclerites that bear 

 them. 



Type. — The following species: 



SCHEDIUS KUVANi^E, new species. 



(Figs. 1^3.) 



Female.— I jewgiXi, 0.99™'"; expanse, 2.39'"'"; greatest width of fore 

 wing, 0.43"^'". Vertex and cheeks very faintly shagreened; mesoscu- 

 tum nearly smooth, shining, with minute, rather sparse punctures; 

 mesoscutellum densely and rather coarsely shagreened, well rounded 

 at tip; propleura very faintly shagreened, somewhat shining. Gen- 

 eral color black; mesoscutellum with a bronz}^ luster; trochanters, 

 tips of femora, apical half or a little more ot front and middle anil 

 hind tibiae yellowish; all tarsi lighter; antennae dark brown; dark 

 parts of the legs more brown tlian ])lack. Wings hyaline. 



IMg.— Length, 0.9'""^; expanse, 2.28'""^; greatest width of fore 

 wing, 0.43'"'". Resembles female, except that the flagellum of tlie 

 antenna is light brown, and except for the structural characters men- 

 tioned in the generic diagnosis.
