of the mesoscutum; mesopleurae smooth with an impressed oval area 

 below the middle which is not strongly crenulate; propodeum rugose 

 with a transverse carinate line a short distance from the base and a 

 median longitudinal carina before it to the base; the area behind the 

 transverse carina is rugose medially with a large, shallow, subquad- 

 rate pit, smooth within, at each lateral posterior angle; metapleurae 

 smooth with three more or less well defined large pits along the upper 

 margin; stigma of the forewing broad, the radius arising a little before 

 its middle; second abscissa of radius about one and one-half times 

 the length of the first transverse cubitus; first abscissa of radius less 

 than the width of stigma; third abscissa curving slightly into the 

 radial cell and attaining the wing margin only slightly above the 

 extreme wing-apex; abdomen ovate, about as long as the thorax, its 

 first tergite smooth with strong sublateral carinae from base to apex, 

 and a median carina from about the middle to the apex; following 

 tergites pohshed; ovipositor two-thirds the length of the abdomen. 

 Head black, the clypeus and mandibles tinged with reddish; antennae 

 black; thorax and abdomen dark stramineous; wings fuscous, the 

 veins and stigma nearly black; all coxae and the posterior femorae 

 concolorous with the thorax, rest of the legs dark reddish-brown. 



Type-locality. — Cuernavaca, Mexico. 



Type.— Csit. No. 19359, U.S.N.M. 



Described from one specimen labeled U. S. Dept. Agri., No. 2089. 

 This specimen was sent to the Department of Agriculture by Mr. 

 Koebele along with a lot of (Diachasma) Opius cramfordi and is pos- 

 sibly a parasite of AnastrepTia striata. 



OProS BRUNNEITARSIS, new species. 



Female. — Length 5 mm. Head transverse, polished, the face im- 

 punctate or nearly so, the clypeus with some large punctures; face 

 with a strong median ridge; posterior orbits nearly as wide as the 

 eyes; mandibles and clypeus hardly separated, the latter about two 

 and one-half times as broad as long down the middle; malar space 

 about equal to the width of a mandible at base; ocell-ocular line 

 more than three times the diameter of an ocellus; thorax smooth 

 and polished, the parapsidal grooves nearly obsolete on the posterior 

 half of the mesoscutum, which is without a median impression in 

 front of the scutellum; mesopleural impression smooth; propodemn 

 rugose laterally, nearly smooth medially; metapleurae smooth; first 

 q,bdominal tergite slightly longer than broad, rugoso-punctate be- 

 tween the sublateral carinae, nearly smooth along the lateral mai*- 

 gins; following tergites smooth; ovipositor about as long as the 

 abdomen. Wings slightly infuscated on the basal half; stigma long 

 and not broad; first abscissa of radius about equal to haK the width 

 of stigma, second abscissa one and one-half times the length of the
