103. CALLIMOME OCHREATUM (Say) 



Torymus ochreattis Say, Writ, of Say, LeConte, vol. 2, p. 723. 



This species has not been recognized; the type unfortunately has 

 been destroyed by fire. The original description is included here in 

 the hope that it will facilitate identification by others. 



Green, tinged with blue; base of the antennae, tibiae and tarsi whitish. 

 Inhabits Indiana. 



Body bright green, more or less tinged on the pleurae, abdomen and thighs 

 with blue or purplish; reticulately punctured; antennae black; first joint before 

 dull whitish; mandibles and palpi piceous; scutel, on the posterior half with very 

 small pvmctures; widgs hyaline; nervure brown; abdomen polished, impunctured; 

 terminal joint of female brassy; oviduct as long as the body, fuscous; tibiae and 

 tarsi whitish. 



Length one-tenth of an inch. 



The minute puncturation of the posterior half of the scutel strongly contrasts 

 with the large discoidal punctures of the basal half. The male has generally 

 more of the purple tinge. 



Host. — Receptacle of a Liatris. 



Although this species is closely related to CaUimome adrena Osten- 

 Sacken it is not identical. 



SPECIES WRONGLY CLASSIFIED AS CALLIMOME (SYNTOMASPIS 



OR TORYMUS) 



Subfamily Callimominae 



ALLOTORYMUS, new genus 



Genotype. — S)jntomaspis splendens Provancher as determined by 

 myself and as treated below. 



This genus belongs to the Callimomidae and is closely related to 

 Ecdamus Walker, from which it is separated as follows : The prothorax 

 is nearly quadrate and not conical; it is, however, very well developed. 

 The petiole is not as long as the metathorax, but only as long as the 

 metanotum; and there is a distinct cross furrow on the scutellum 

 In addition the wings are not clearly hyaline. 



Generic characters. — Head transverse and with a foraminal margin; 

 eyes bare and ocelli unusually small; antennae 13 jointed, with one 

 ring-joint. Prothorax extremely well developed, being almost as long 

 as wide and as seen from a,bove nearly quadrate; mesepimeron deeply 

 notched; propodeum long and broad; scutellum with a conspicuous 

 cross furrow; hind femora smooth; stigmal vein rather elongate; 

 abdomen with a petiole a little longer than the metanotum.
