The following descriptions are chiefly from specimens sent by 

 the Department of Zoology of Pomona College. 



Eusandalum californicum n. sp. 



Female: Similar in every respect to coquillettii Ashmead except 

 as follows : The hyaline cross-stripe between the fuscous cross- 

 stripes of the forewing is distinctly narrower than either fuscous 

 cross-stripe (broader than either in the other) ; the stylus of the 

 abdomen is a little shorter than the ovipositor valves (their ex- 

 truded portion), both equal in length in coquillettii. Otherwise 

 the same. Antennas 11-jointed, tapering, the club single and no 

 longer than the pedicel, funicle 1 quadrate, 2 longest, elongate, 

 somewhat compressed, over thrice the length of the pedicel. Types 

 compared.
