284 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM VOL. 92 
EPIURUS ALBICINCTUS (Ashmead), new combination 
Zonopimpla albicincta Ashmead, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 23, p. 55, 1900. 
Female.—Length (estimated) 8 mm., ovipositor sheath 4 mm. 
Entire body polished and unsculptured and sparsely hairy. 
Head and prothorax missing. 
Thorax rather elongate, sutures and foveae shallow; legs rather 
stout, especially the tarsi, the apical joints of which are broadly de- 
pressed with stout, sharply bent claws. 
Abdomen elongate fusiform; carinae of tergite 1 obsolete; tergites 
2-5 with impressions deep and tubercles prominent; ovipositor slen- 
der, subsagittate at apex, sheath with fine, short hair. 
Thorax ferruginous; metapleuron and propodeum black and white, 
the white apical and lateral on propodeum and dorsal on meta- 
pleuron; middle leg luteous, femur with a brown streak dorsally, 
tibia dorsally and tarsus blackish; hind leg black, coxa dorsally and 
ventrally and trochanter white; wings hyaline, venation dark; abdo- 
men black, each tergite broadly margined apically and laterally with 
white, tergites 2-6 with black spots on apical margins near lateral 
angles; sheath black. 
Type locality—Pinches and Perene Vs., Peru, 2,000-8,000 ft. 
Type.—v. S. N. M. No. 56286. 
One specimen received from the Geographical Society of Lima. 
Genus ERYTHROPIMPLA Ashmead 
The type specimen of the genotype is in the collection of the 
National Museum. It is badly broken, but most of the broken-off 
parts are glued to a card, so the specimen is still complete except for 
the antennae and the ovipositor sheath. 
This genus, together with the Australian Camptotypus Kriech- 
baumer and the Oriental 77richiothecus Cameron, have been synony- 
mized with the Ethiopian Hemipimpla Saussure. The first three are 
doubtless synonymous, Camptotypus having priority, but, judging 
from the few species available to me, Hemipimpla may be distinct. 
The conspicuously fasciate wings of Hemipimpla together with the 
shorter ovipositor give a quite different impression from that of 
Camptotypus with its yellow, black, or apically black wings and 
longer ovipositor. In addition, Hemipimpla has the malar space 
shorter, the ocelli larger, the notaulices deeper with prescutum more 
convex, the dorsal carinae of tergite 1 much weaker and that segment 
more densely sculptured, the basal abscissa of radius virtually as 
long as the apical abscissa, and the long sides of the areolet parallel, 
whereas the opposite of each of these characteristics usually pertains 
in Camptotypus. I therefore prefer to use Camptotypus for the 
Oriental and Australian species and restrict Hemipimpla to the 
Ethiopian species.
