Abdomen linear, finely, transversely aciculated, the first segment 

 about thrice as long as wide and a little wider at the apex than at 

 base, the following segments gradually subequal; the seventh, quadrate. 

 Wings hyaline, iridescent; the stigma and veins brown ; the stigma is

Habitat. — Kirkwood, Mo. 



Described from two specimens received from Miss Mary Murtfeldt, 

 reared April 5th, 1873, from the locust leaf-roller (Gelechia robinkv-

 any of the other described species in our fauna.

 posterior tibiae, transverse baud across the middle of the first segmeut 

 of the abdomen, and bauds at the base of all the following segments, 

 black. The antenna? are 28 jointed. On the mesonotum and meta- 

 thorax are some scattered punctures. The scutellum high, convex. 

 The abdomen is sparsely punctured ; the apices of segments smooth, 

 impuuctured; all the segments but the last two, in addition to the
