the forms of Alypioides as representing one species, separable 



thus: — 



(A.) Secondaries above without spots . . . A. bimaculata H.-S., 1853 



(Max. and New Mex.). 

 (B.) Secondaries above with one or more pale spots. 



(i.) With a single large spot or patch . . var. crescens Walk. 1856 



(New Mex. and Calif.), 

 (ii.) With two spots var. rfw^^.y« nov. (Mexico). 



The last mentioned may be more particularly described thus:- 

 A. bimaculata var. nov. rfz/;^^.jzz.— Length of body 17 mm., of anterior 

 wing 21 mm. Like crescens, but the light markings creamy white rather 

 than yellow; middle spot on primaries quadrate, and considerably larger 

 than in a specimen of bimaculata from Grant County, New Mex. Sec- 

 ondaries above with two large patches, one about the end of the cell, the 

 other nearer the inner margin; also a faint dot near the inner end of the 

 latter one, but apparently situated in the cell. Tongue orange as in the 

 other forms. 



Hab. — Guanajuato, Mexico (Dr. A. Duges). One specimen, 

 in coll. Duges. Before venturing on the above remarks, I con- 

 sulted Mr. Dyar, who writes that he quite thinks I may be cor- 

 rect in regarding these forms as varieties of one; and adds that 

 he agrees that the Guanajuato form should have a name, though 

 as a variety. He further remarks, in confirmation of the view 

 taken, that a specimen of crescens in his collection has a trace of 

 the second spot in the form of a little diffuse yellow dot.

TWO NEW APANTELES. 

 By Carl F. Baker, Fort Collins, Col. 



Two new species of the genus Apanteles recently reared m the 

 Entomological Laboratory of the Colorado Agricultural College 

 seem to be of importance sufficient to warrant their publication. 



Apanteles ephestiae n. sp. $. — Length of body 3.6 mm., of antennas 2.6 

 mm., ovipositor 1.05 mm. Black, shining; antennae black, to deep brown at 

 tip; palpi rufous. Legs, except coxae, rufous, basal portions of anterior and 

 middle femora, all of posterior femora, tips of posterior tibiae and posterior 

 tarsi, darker; stigma and nervures bounding first submarginal cell out- 

 wardly, dark brown; tegulse yellowish brown. Head transverse, finely 

 punctured, with rather dense pubescence; face below antennae with a strong 

 median ridge; ocelli prominent and black; mesonotum finely, thickly punc- 

 tured, with an indication of a median carina posteriorly, and two oblique 

 slightly depressed areas behind converging towards the scutellum; scutel-
