This name is applied to a series of well-marked females reared by 
the late C. V. Riley from larvae taken under oak bark. Though the 
markings simulate closely those of Lestodiplosis, the long ovipositor 
and the relatively broad lobes prevent its reference thereto and we 
have therefore tentatively placed it in the above-named genus. It 
is such a well-marked form that there should be no difficulty in 
recognizing it subsequently. Specimens, evidently from the same 
lot, occur in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, 
Mass.
