PARAPANTELES Ashmead. 



In structure and sculpture Apanteles lacteicolor Viereck is very 

 similar to the type of Parapanteles Ashmead. Typical Apanteles and 

 typical Parapanteles can be separated only on characters of at most 

 specific value, hence it becomes necessary to include Parapanteles as 

 a synonym of Apanteles Foerster. 



CHELONUS BIPUSTULATUS, new species. 



Female. — Length 5 mm.; head black, dullish, sculptured, propor- 

 tionally as in the genotype; clypeus not compressed apically, the 

 apical edge subemarginate; malar space separated from the face by a 

 bandlike area of fine sculpture; cheeks plicately striate; antenna? 

 black, more than 24-jointed, of the same form as in the genotype; 

 first joint of ilagel about two-thirds the length of the scape; mandi- 

 bles partly testaceous; palpi fuscous; thorax essentially as in the 

 genotype; wings transparent, with a brownish tinge throughout; 

 most of veins and the stigma dark brown; coxae and trochanters 

 black; basal half of femora entirely or mostly black or blackish, the 

 apical half of the same more or less testaceous; tibiae yellowish, the 

 hind pair with a subbasal and apical blackish band; tarsi fuscous with 

 the basal joint more or less pale; carapace hardly twice as long as 

 wide, simple at apex, uniformly sculptured and black except for two 

 subbasal yellow maculae. 



Type-locality. — Chile. 



Type— Cat. No. 13796, U.S.N.M. 



The type was presumably collected by E. C. Reed. 



CYANOPTERIDEA, new genus. 



This is the same as Gyanopterus Szepligeti not of Haliday. 



Type of the genus. — (Iphiaulax) Gyanopterus clypeolus Szepligeti. 



Mr. Roman has pointed out that the genotype of Gyanopterus 

 Haliday and Bracon orbitalis Cresson are congeneric. With this con- 

 clusion (which seems to be justified by Marshall's interpretation of 

 the Bracon Jlavator (Fabricius) Nees as a basis) it would appear that 

 Gyanopterus Haliday is the same as Gampyloneurus Szepligeti, at 

 least in part. 



CAMPYLONEURUS Szepligeti. 



Campyloneurus Szepligeti, Term. Fuz., vol. 23, 1900, p. 51. 



Type. — Campyloneurus bicolor Szepligeti by present designation. 



Cresson's species Bracon faustus and Bracon mavoritus are very 

 likety congeneric with Campyloneurus bicolor Szepligeti as far as can 

 be gleaned from description of the latter. This being the case the 

 name Campyloneurus Szepligeti may be provisionally retained for the 

 species of Campyloneurus that have at least the second segment of 

 the abdomen coarsely sculptured. The Bracon mavoritus Cresson is 

 synonymous with (Bracon) Campyloneurus rugator (Say) and Bracon 

 ziovitus Cresson is its male.
