to the thorax in length, the first tergite smooth, other tergites weakly sculptured, 

 more strongly so at the sides; ovipositor extending beyond apex of abdomen 

 about one and one-third times the length of the abdomen. Color dull blackish 

 green, the head and thorax sparsely clothed with silvery white hairs; eyes pale 

 reddish; face, propodeum and hind femora and the abdomen more strongly 

 metallic than the dorsum of the thorax; sides of thorax and hind coxae bluish; 

 antennal scape and all tibiae and tarsi brownish testaceous; flagellum, median 

 and front femora, tarsal claws and ovipositor sheaths brownish black; wings hya- 

 line; venation pale brownish. 



Male. — Length 2 mm. Tibiae all dark brown. Otherwise agrees with the 

 female except the general color is perhaps a little darker. 



Additional notes : The sciitellar cross furrow is so inconspicuous that 

 it can be seen only with difficulty, and is best indicated by a difference 

 in the depth of sculpture before and behind it. 



Type locality. — San Julio, Lower California. 



Host. — Aspliondylia websteri Felt. 



Type.— C&t. No. 25333, U.S.N.M. 



Torymus Tiainesi was described from three specimens taken in 

 April, 1889, by C. D, Haines. The type series is represented by one 

 female in the National collection and two specimens in the Museum 

 of the California Academy. 



Distribution. — In addition to the type of hainesi I have examined 

 the following: Six females and two males reared at Tempe, Ariz., from 

 the alfalfa midge {Aspliondylia websteri Felt) , these are the types Call- 

 imome asphondyliae Gahan and recorded under Type, Cat. 22296, 

 U.S.N.M. Five males and one female reared from mesquite bean 

 moth, July, 1913, Austin, Tex., collected by C. Hartman, are also in 

 the National collection.
