32 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 70 



vein five-eighths as long as submarginal ; stigmal vein petioled; abdo- 

 men mostly dark green, the first four segments medially incised; ovi- 

 positor just a little longer than the abdomen. 



Male. — Unknown. 



Type locality. — Kodiak, Alaska. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Type.— C&t. No. 25400, U.S.N.M. 



In the reference cited above four specimens of Callimome cecido- 

 myiae Walker are reported; they are all deposited in the National 

 collection. Upon examination I have found three of them identical, 

 while the fourth specimen belongs to a species of Callimome as yet 

 undescribed. Inasmuch as the form represented by the three speci- 

 mens does not agree with the rather inadequate description of cecido- 

 myiae, and since I have not examined Walker's type, I have described 

 it as a new species. 



Distribution. — All these specimens were taken by T. Kincaid on 

 the Harriman expedition, 1899. The type was taken on July 20; one 

 paratype July 9 on Popoff Island, and another paratype July 26 at 

 Virgin Bay.

 dish and not prominent. Thorax very elongate and narrow; scutel- 

 lum oblong, nearly twice as long as wide; propodeum smooth, fore
