GLYPTAPANTELES (APANTELES) JAPONICUS, new species (Ashmead). 



Female. — Length, 2.8 to 3 mm. Black, shining; face, thorax, and 

 hind coxa? very finely punctulate; head above and posteriorly polished, 

 impunctate; labrum and mandibles honey -yellow; palpi white; scape, 

 pedicel, tegulse and legs, except hind coxje which are black, brownish- 

 yellow; flagellum black or brown-black. Wings hyaline, the stigma 

 and subcostal vein brown, other veins pallid. Metathorax smooth 

 without areas or carina?. Abdomen beneath, except the large plow- 

 share shaped ventral valve, and the lateral margins of dorsal segments 

 1-5 brownish-yellow or ferruginous; the plate of first segment lance- 

 olate, more than three times as long as wide, gradually narrows toward 

 apex; second segment shorter than the third, with two oblique impressed 

 lines; plate and all segments smooth, impunctate. 



Male. — Length, 2.3 to 2.5 mm. Agrees well with female in colora- 

 tional detail, but the antenna? are much longer than the bod}^, the 

 abdomen is smaller and shorter, while the second abdominal segment 

 is about twice as long as the third. 



Type. — Cat. No. 3457, U.S.N.M. Described from many specimens 

 in National Museum, Ace. No. 23417, received July 30, 1890, from 

 Rev. H. Loomis, of Yokohama, Japan, who bred them from the larva 

 of Ocneria dispar, and from many additional specimens received by 

 Dr. L. O. Howard from Prof. A. H. Kirkland, who also received 

 them from Rev. H. Loomis. 



The species belongs in Marshall's Section IV, of xipanteles, and 

 comes very close to two European species — Apanteles vltrijjennh Cur- 

 tis and A. fulvijyes Haliday, from both of which it is readily distin- 

 guished b}^ the impunctate metanotum, the difference in the plate of 

 the first abdominal segment, by having the first and second segments 

 smooth, not aciculated, and by the venter being entirely brownish- 

 3'^ellow. 



GLYPTAPANTELES NAWAII, new species. 



Female. — Length, 2 mm. Black and shining, but with the head and 

 thorax finel}^ punctulate, the scutellum polished, impunctate, the meta- 

 thorax finely rugulose, with a median carina. The antenna? are about 

 as long as the body and black; legs brownish-yellow, the hind coxre 

 black, the front and middle coxiv usually with a slight fuscous spot at 

 base only, the hind femora at extreme apex and the tips of their tibise 

 faintly fuscous. The abdomen is black and shining, except ventral 

 segments 1 and 2 which are yellowisli; the plate of the first dorsal seg- 

 ment and the second segment are finely sculptured; the plate of the 

 first is about two and one-half times as long as wide, a little wider at 

 apex than at base; the second segment is shorter than the third with a
