DIACHASMA CRAWFQRDI, new species. 



Female. — Length 6 mm.; sheaths of the ovipositor as long as the 

 body. Head black, antennas blackish, 53-jointed, face with a median 

 carina extending from as far below the anterior ocellus as the same 

 is wide to a point approximately halfway between the antennal line 

 and the clypeus where the carina becomes reduced so that it is lost 

 on the convexity of the face above the clypeus, clypeus with a 

 median longitudinal welt, the lateral free edges of the clypeus rather 

 reflexed or upturned, clypeus medially terminating in an obtuse 

 angle which is flanked by a sinuosity that is bounded by the lowest 

 corners of the clypeus, which latter are angular, apical half of mandi- 

 bles more or less brownish, palpi stramineous as are the praepisternum 

 and most of the fore coxae, with the palpi paler, mandibles but little 

 wider at base than at apex; rest of thorax darker stramineous, 

 scutellar fovea divided longitudinally by a carina, wings infuscated, 

 stigma and veins blackish, radius fully developed throughout and 

 attaining the margin of the wing as far or nearly as far from the 

 extreme tip as the second transverse cubitus is long, stigma forming 

 an obtuse angle on its lower edge and about three times as wide as 

 high, radius inserted a little beyond the middle of the stigma, nervellus 

 almost interstitial, anal cell in hind wings nearly divided by a vein 

 that is almost parallel to the nervellus, mid and hind coxae stramin- 

 eous at base and blackish apically; proximal trochanters, distal 

 trochanters of hind legs and most or all of femora and tibiae black; 

 distal trochanters of fore and mid-legs castaneous as is the base of 

 fore and mid-femora, first, second, third, and fourth joints of fore 

 and mid-tarsi more or less stramineous, fore and niid-onychiae 

 blackish as are their claws and empodia, hind tarsi blackish through- 

 out; abdomen mostly rather ferruginous, the first dorsal segment 

 with four carinae defining five channels, the inner carinae arched and 

 terminating a little beyond the middle of the segment, the outer 

 carinae extending from base to apex and parallel to the outer margin, 

 sheaths of the ovipositor blackish, ovipositor castaneous. 



Type.— Female, Cat. No. 13484, U.S.N.M. 



Type-locality. — Cuernavaca, Mexico. Sent to the Bureau of Ento- 

 mology, II. S. Department of Agriculture, by Mr. D. L. Crawford, 

 who observes that the specimen was "taken while stinging mango 

 with maggots in it." This species is probably a parasite of Anas- 

 trepha ludens Loew. 



Named for D. L. Crawford.
