Synonymic and Descriptive Notes on the Hymenoptera Chalcidoidea. 123 



unifornily deep blue, the legs concolorous aud the antennae typical 

 for the genus. More recently (April 30, 1911) I captured a specimen 

 by sweeping in a wood at Oakwood, Illinois; in life, this specimen 

 showed more lustre, especially of aeneous green and coppery tints in 

 bright lights, on the head and thorax ; the abdomen is distinctly poly- 

 gonally reticulated, the dorsum of the thorax densely, rather finely 

 punctured, the scutellum large, rounded. This specimen was a male. 

 The tarsi are white, the posterior wings hyaline, the fore wings with 

 short marginal fringes. The antennae in both sexes are similar, the club 

 joints strongly compressed and much wider than long, excepting the 

 distal one which is rounded conical, ending in a prominent seta. 



Subfamily Aphelininae. 

 Tribe Afhelinini. 

 Genus Aspidiotiphagus Howard. 

 1. Aspidiotiphagiis citrinus (Craw). 



I have numerouB specimens of this undoubtedly widespread 

 coccid parasite mounted on a slide with Polynema albicoxa (which see) 

 and labelled ,,1127 = 1221. Diaspis amygdali. Allamanda Gard. 

 hybrid. Suva, Fiji. 21, 10, '99. A. Koebele." Both the host and the 

 locality appear to be unrecorded. 



Genus Coccophagiis Westwood. 



1. Coccophagus lecanü (Fitch). 



Professor T. D. A. Cockerell has sent me specimens of this species 

 reared from Pulvinaria bigeloviae Cockerell at Boulder, Colorado 

 (U. S. A.). The host is new to the species. The species occurs in Hawaii, 

 as has been recorded in the literature. The Colorado rearing record 

 may be somewhat doubtful becauce of the presence of some aphids 

 but it is hardly probable that lecanü came from them. 



Subfamily Elachertinae. 



Tribe Elachertini. 

 Genus Zagrammosoma Ashmead. 



1. Zagrammosotna multilineata (Ashmead), variety punicea nova. 



Like the typical form in markings but the whole body is pink 

 instead of yellow with gradating forms between: thus the abdomen 

 may be ochraceous with the rest of the body pink. 



Described from four female specimens reared as a primary parasite 

 from the larva of Tischeria malifoliella Clemens, August 7, 1905, the 

 host on apple, District of Columbia (U. S. A.). The species and variety 

 have three dusky lines across the fore wings which vary somewhat 

 but the apical one is usually complete ; otherwise the wings are hyaline. 



Typ es: Accessi on No. 44,261, Illinois State Laboratory of 

 Natural History, ürbana, Illinois, three females on tags (Washington, 

 D. C).
