mens of each species should be reversed. The museum type labels 

 placed on these specimens by the describer proves that the published 

 statement of the number of specimens is erroneous. 



Distribution. — Guanajuato, Mexico (Type). In addition to the 

 type series there are in the National collection nine specimens reared 

 June 5, 1901, from a cynipid gall taken at Williams, Arizona, by H. S. 

 Barber and E. A. Schwarz, and recorded under Bureau of Entomology 

 No. 9411. Two specimens with the same data are in the author's 

 collection. 



The specimens from Arizona agree better than the types with the 

 color given in the original description. The thoracic dorsum lacks 

 the decided brownish tinge that is present in the types. Otherwise 

 they are similar.
