74 AMERICAN HYMENOPTERA. 



Distribution. — This species is most abundant in and near 

 the tropics, but ranges from the Upper Austral at New Bruns- 

 wick, N. J., into the tropics at Chontales, Nicaragua, and 

 the Island of St. Vincent. It has been reported from Mexico ; 

 Chontales, Nicaragua; Cuba; San Antonio, Kingston, etc., 

 Jamaica; Mirabeau Estate, St. Vincent Island; Grenada 

 Island ; Cayenne ; and I have seen specimens from New 

 Brunswick, N. J. ; Selma, Ala. ; Dallas, Texas ; Mexico ; 

 Cuba ; Portland, Raetown and Kingston, Jamaica ; San Fran- 

 cisco Mountains, Santo Domingo. 



Life history and habits. — Little is known or at least recorded 

 of the life history, habits or hosts of this species. Three 

 female specimens before me were taken at Selma, Ala., in 

 October ; Paris, Texas, September 8 ; and Dallas, Texas, 

 September 30, respectively. Two females from Santo Do- 

 mingo were taken in September, and a third from Kingston, 

 Jamaica, in March. E. flavus seems therefore to be most 

 abundant in August and September, but the time of flight 

 may extend over several months as with other species.
