2. DACYRTOCARA UNDATA, new species. 



Plate 74, figs. 5, 6. 



Described from two females found in the fourth and fifth segments 

 of a female Oncometopia undata Fabricius, captured by George D. 

 Smith at Thomasville, Georgia, in May, 1915. The host died May 10. 



Length, 7 mm. Color of cephalothorax dark brown with large 

 rounded brown spot on first ventral segment; brood canal slightly 

 darkened; abdomen otherwise white until mature, when it becomes 

 brown. 



Cephalothorax elongate, apically rounded, slightly sinuate in front 

 of mandibles and laterally slightly compressed opposite opening of 

 brood canal, which is behind the middle. Mandibles broad, obtuse. 

 Brood canal opening a transverse narrow slit on the venter. Base of 

 cephalothorax strongly constricted. Thoracic spiracles lateral and 

 inconspicuous. 



The brood canal extends back only four segments, and there are 

 only two median genital tubes opening into it, on the second and 

 third segments. At the edge of the brood canal at the posterior mar- 

 gin of the first, second, and third segments are simple spiracles con- 

 sisting of mere slitlike openings. The tracheae can be seen leading 

 from them. The first abdominal segment within the body of the 

 host extends far beyond the tip of the cephalothorax.
