Male. — Length 3.75 mm. Body mostly green but cyanescent. 

 First joint of funicle about four times as long as the pedicel and ring- 

 joint combined; front and middle coxae brownish, the hind coxae 

 brown at tips; femora greenish-purple, fuscescent in some lights, the 

 hind ones darkest; tibiae light brown on the outside with a crimson- 

 green tint in some lights. Abdomen shining green and depressed. 



Type locality. — Jacksonville, Fla. 



Host. — Amphiholips racemaria Ashmead. 



Type.—Csit. No. 2824, U.S.N. M. 



This species is represented in the National collection by the single 

 female type which I have redescibed above. The alloy type male 

 has apparently been lost. The above description of the male is based 

 on a specimen reared September 1, 1920, from DisJiolcaspis terristris 

 Weld on Quercus margaretta Ashe collected by L. H. Weld at Ocala, 

 Fla., and recorded under Hopkins U. S. No. 15634a. 



The color tints of this species vary considerably, depending to a 

 great extent upon the light. In color it is very similar to Callimome 

 cinerosum Huber; however, it is readily separated from this species 

 by the difference in the sculpture of the propodeum and the thoracic 

 dorsum.
