Male. — Differs little from the female; it is noteworthy, however, 

 that in the male the transverse wrinkles are virtually wanting in the 

 areopetiolarea of the type, that the spiracle of the second dorsal 

 segment is a little before the middle and almost adjoining the lateral 

 edge, and that the pale border of the second dorsal segment is invaded 

 medially by black pigment. 



Type.— Cat. No. 13074, U.S.N.M. 



Type-locality.— -Europe, Gipsy Moth Laboratory, No. 529, Aug. 20 

 and Nov. 2, 1908; U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of 

 Entomology. 



This species bears a close resemblance to Phobocampe crassiuscula 

 (Gravenhorst). 



PIMPLA (PIMPLA) PORTHETRIA, new species. 



Male. — Length 7 mm.; compared with P. instigator, this species 

 differs chiefly as follows: Antennae entirely black; face dullish, more 

 pubescent; fore and mid legs beyond the trochanters rather yellowish, 

 excepting the mid femora which are infuscated basally and the claws 

 and pulvilli which are blackish; hind legs black throughout except 

 the extreme base of their femora which is yellow, the spurs which are 

 brownish and the claws which are castaneous apically; metapleurae 

 not striate throughout; dorsal segments apically more or less edged 

 with vellow or yellowish. 



Type.— Cat. No. 13077, U.S.N.M. 



Type -locality. — Japan, ex Porthetria dispar, Gipsy Moth Laboratory 

 No. 1825, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology. 



PIMPLA (PIMPLA) DISPARIS, new species. 



Female. — Length 15 mm.; in size, structure, and sculpture, as well 

 as in color, very like P. examinator Fabricius, from which it differs 

 chiefly as follows: — sides of propodeum separated from the rest by a 

 rather distinct angulation, the propodeum not rounded off domelike; 

 fore legs, with their proximal trochanters yellow beneath, their 

 femora yellowish above, apically; mid-tibiae mostly reddish, infuscated 

 basally, without a pale band; hind legs with more or less of the apical 

 third of their femora black, their tibiae and tarsi entirely black or 

 blackish. 



Male. — Antennae entirely black or blackish in the basal third as in 

 the female, the apical two-thirds becoming brown, legs colored as 

 in the female.
