Type locality. — California. 



Host. — Andricus pomiformis (Bassett) Ashmead. 



Type.— C&t. No. 25316, U.S.N.M. 



I have redescribed this species from the type series in the National 

 collection, which consists of one female type, one male allotype, and 

 one male paratype. It resembles the variety subdolum Huber in 

 general sculpture and form, but may be separated by its larger body, 

 an ovipositor at least one and one-half times as long as the body, 

 and a distinctly golden-green color.

 lowing are in the National collection: Six specimens, Hopkins No.
