APANTELES (PROTAPANTELES) GRIFFINI, new species. 



Female. — Length 1.75 mm. Related to Apanteles lialli but with 

 the second dorsal plate mostly sculptured and with the color more as 

 in Apanteles Iseviceps to which latter species it is evidently more closely 

 related than to the former. From Apanteles Iseviceps it may be dis- 

 tinguished by the smaller size, the presence of a more of less smooth 

 sculptureless area on the second dorsal segment, by the apical half of 

 the Iiind femora being mostly infuscated, by the first joint of the 

 flagel being almost stramineous beneath and by the almost entirely 

 black abdomen; ovipositor normally not exserted 



Male. — Sufficiently similar to the opposite sex to be easily associ- 

 ated therewith, flagel blackish throughout. 



Type.— Cut. No. 13482, U.S.N.M. 



Type-locality. — Quogue, New York.
