Synonyraic aud Descriptive Notes on tlie Hymenoptera Chalcidoidea, 135 



long hairs; it is nodular, acutely pointed. Male scape longer than 



male antennal club, shorter without its bnlla. Vertexal carina present. 



The above notes takcn from the slides of the type specimens, 



bearing in all nine males and fifteen feniales, all in excellent condition. 



Genu8 Anaphes Haliday. 



1. Anaphes pratensis Foerster. 



I have found four feinales of a mymarid species in the United 

 States National Museum coUections labelled as this species and bearing 

 the locality label „France"; the Identification was evidently made 

 by Ashmead as the name of the species was in his handwriting. The 

 specimens are different from any species of the genus known to me but 

 of the American species so far described they are most similar to the 

 species'^io^e and nigrellus. They resemble iole rather closely in the 

 structure of the fore wings, which are larger, however; but the antennae 

 are entirely different agreeing somewhat with those of nigrellus in 

 general form but differing in that the second fvmicle Joint is elongate 

 and distinctly longer than distal funicle Joint. The antennae of this 

 European species are characteristic and I make the following notes 

 concerning their structure: The funicle joints are all cylindrical and 

 much longer than wide, excepting the proximal Joint; the latter very 

 short, barely longer than wide; second funicle Joint abruptly lengthened, 

 nearly twice the length of the distal Joint of the funicle; joints 3 and 



4 subequal, a fourth shorter than the second but both long; Joint 



5 a fourth shorter than Joint 4 and somewhat wider; the distal Joint 

 still shorter and broader (joints 5 and 6 may be subequal and some- 

 times joints 4 and 5); pedicel very much larger than the first funicle 

 Joint, The species is a typical Anaphes. The posterior wings are long 

 and curved, with a row of white dots along the caudal margin and two 

 complete Unes of discal cilia down the middle of the blade, a single 

 row along each edge. The fore wings are moderately broad, bearing 

 about from fifteen to seventeen lines of moderately fine discal cilia; 

 their longest marginal cilia are three-fourths the greatest width of the 

 blade; the latter is slightly fuscous in places. The general color is black, 

 the legs brownish, the knees, tips of tibiae and tarsi pallid yellowish. 

 The specimens have been remounted in baisam and placed in the 

 coUection from which they came. The species is about the same size 

 as nigrellus. 



Genus Anagrus Haliday. 



1. Anagrus lutulentus species nova. 



Normal position. 



Male:— Length, 0,50 mm. IModerately large in size for the genus. 



Resembling in the appearance of the fore wings Anaphes cincti- 

 ventris Girault. 



General color brown pink, the legs, venation and antennae pallid 

 dusky yellowish, distal tarsal Joint not darker; fore and posterior 

 wings distinctly, not very deeply, fumated, fore wings lighter caudad
