UNRECOGNIZED SPECIES 



Unfortunately, 1 have been unable to recognize 11 of the species 

 which have been placed in this genus, Callvmome lissus, theon, aea, 

 splendidulus, and cecidomyiae were first described by Walker. All of 

 them were taken in America. I have not examined any of the t^^pes; 

 it is probable that they are all deposited in the British Museum. 

 Walker's descriptions omit many specific characters and until the 

 types are examined it will not be safe to place the species definitely. 

 Two species ochreatum and pavidum were described by Say. There 

 is no doubt that ochreatum is very closely related to advenum but I 

 have done nothing with it for the present. The types have been 

 destroyed by fire. Callimome thompsoni (Fyles), apparently a phy- 

 tophagous species, and Callimome longicaudum Provancher were both 

 reported from Canada, while pallidipes (Ashmead) was taken in the 

 West Indies; abortum (Crosby) is from Kansas.

This species is unrecognized by the writer; the original description

Female. — Aureo-viridis, antennis nigris, pedibus flavis viridi et fiisco vittatis 

 alis limpidis. Corp. long, lin 1.25 (2.5 mm.); alar I'm. 2 (4 mm.). 



Body bright golden-green, convex; head and thorax finely squamous, the scales 

 on the head and on the fore part of the thorax so disposed as to form little trans- 

 verse undulations; head as broad as the thorax; antennae black and subclavate, 

 pubescent', shorter than the thorax; first joint (scape) long, slender, green, ful- 

 vous at the base; second (pedicel) cyathiform; third and fourth (evidently mis- 

 taken for the single ring joint) very minute; fifth and following joints to the elev- 

 enth (tenth) successively but very slightly shorter and broader; club linear, 

 conical at the tip, a little broader than the eleventh joint and more than twice its 

 length; thorax elliptical; prothorax transverse, narrower in front, its breadth 

 more than twice its length; scutum of the mesothorax long; sutures of the parap- 

 sides distinct, approaching each other; axillae large, triangular, not conniving; 

 scutellum somewhat rhomboidal, metathorax transverse, very short; propodeum 

 transverse, rather short, very slightly decumbent; podeon (petiole) extremely 

 short; abdomen fusiform, smooth, shining, narrower, but not larger than the 

 thorax, blue towards the base; the segments, except the metapodeon) first abdom- 

 inal segment) very minutely squamous; metapodeon occupying less than one- 

 third of the dorsum, slightly dehiscent on the middle of the hind border; octoon
