-ART. 14 THE CHALCID-FLY GENUS CALLIMOME HUBER 19 



DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES 



1. CALLIMOME BRUESI.new name 



Torymiis sackeni Brtjes, Bull. Miis. Comp. Zool., vol. 54, 1910, No. 1, p. 17, 

 ■not Callimome sackeni Ashmead. 



Type locality.— FloTissant, Colorado (No. 12869, S. H. Scudder, 

 Coll.). 



Type. — No. 2068, Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



This species is the only known fossil representative of the genus 

 Callimome Spinola. Brues has placed it here primarily because of its 

 close resemblance to Callimome magnijicum Osten Sacken. 



la. CALLIMOME FULLAWAYI, new name 



Sijntomaspis coerulea Fullaway, Journ. New York Ent. Soc, vol. 20, 1912, 

 p. 274, preoccupied by Callimome coerulea Ashmead. 



Type locality. — California. 



Host. — Callirhytis agrifoliae (Bassett). 



Type. — Collection of Leland Stanford Junior Univerisity (lot 499, 

 S. 3). 



The type material of this species has not been available for study. 

 I have, however, examined six specimens reared from the same host 

 AS the type and determined as this species by A. B. Gahan. These 

 specimens are recorded under Bureau of Entomology number Hop- 

 kins U.S. 15922^ collected at Los Gatos, Calif., on Quercus chryso- 

 lepis by K,. D. Hartman and Hopkins U. S. 12561 ® collected at Ash- 

 mead, Oreg., on Quercus calijornicus by J. M. Miller. I find that 

 these specimens agree well with the description referred to above. I 

 am not satisfied that this species is a true Callimome due to the fact 

 that the hind femur is somewhat serrate and has a distinct tooth. 

 On the other hand, it shows many characteristics of a Callimome. 

 For the present it has been retained in the group where it was orig- 

 inally placed.
