DIMEROMICKUS HOWARDI (Dalla Torre) 



Torymua oentralis Howard, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. Zool., vol. 26, 1896, p. 135. 



Torymus kowardi Dalla Torue, Cat. Hymen., vol. 5, 1898, p. 307. New name 



for Torymus ventralis Howard preoccupied by Tcryinus venirnlis Fonscolombe. 



Type locality. — Grenada, West Indies. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Type.— Cat. No. 6541, U.S.N.M. 



The type consists of a single male specimen collected by H. H. Smith 

 and recorded under No. 30. It is in a very poor condition for study 

 and hence it has been difficult to classify it; I have placed it tenta- 

 tively in the above-named genus. 



DIMEROMICKUS EUCALYPTI (Ashmead) 



Torymus eucalypti Ashmead, Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, vol. 30, 1900, 

 p. 331. 



Type locality. — Sydney, New South Wales. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Type.— C&t. No. 4877, U.S.N.M. 



Originally described from eight specimens. The National collection 

 contains seven specimens, four of which are somewhat broken. This 

 species is very close to Dimeromicrus australiensis Girault.*^
