and two sharp teeth on the inner side, near the inner angle (the inner- 

 most representing that angle) ; malar space linear in front, broadened 

 behind ; front and face with fine fulvous tomentum, not concealing 

 surface, but giving it a strong yellowish cast; vertex with denser and 

 longer hair ; cheeks covered with a dense fulvous felt, wholly hiding 

 surface ; thorax, except middle of metathorax, closely beset with 

 fulvous hair, so that the color of the tegument is much obscured ; meso- 

 thorax black with the lateral margins narrowly yellow; scutellum yel- 

 low; sides of thorax fulvous yellow, with a more or less distinct verti- 

 cal dusky band on pleura; middle of metathorax broadly black, sides 

 fulvous yellow ; scape yellow, with a black stripe on upper end above ; 

 flagellum black above, testaceous beneath ; legs clear fulvous, the broadly 

 expanded apical half of hind tibiae black, the black surface invaded 

 on inner side by a broad band of very short fulvous tomentum, the 

 tibial margins with long black and fulvous hairs; hind basitarsi black 

 on outer side, on inner side densely covered with fulvous hair ; tegulae 

 fulvous ; wings bright orange fulvous, only slightly translucent ; abdo- 

 men clear fulvous, yellower beneath. 



I fail to find a name applicable to the T. dorsalis of 1863, so 

 it may be called 

 Trigona meade-waldoi n. n. 



Notes on Trichogrammatidae (Hymen.). 



1. Trichogramma minutum Riley. The following new host and 

 localities : Olene pinicola Dyar at Greenwood and North Saugus, Mas- 

 sachusetts, and Wascott, Wisconsin. Data from P. H. Timberlake. 

 The Wisconsin record was made by Mr. N. A. Thomson. Specimens 

 identified by myself Through the Bureau of Entomology at Wash- 

 ington. 



2. Oligosita sanguinea (Girault). One male, two females reared 

 by Mr. Timberlake at Salt Lake City, Utah, June 7. 1913, from cold 

 storage material accompanying cocoons of Phytonomus posticus, col- 

 lected at Portici, Italy, by Mr. Thomson about the middle of May, 

 1913. The material consisted mostly of leaves and stems of alfalfa. 

 The species is very common in North America, which is probably its 

 native home. I would suggest as being most probable, that it had been 

 introduced into Europe in connection with commerce in grasses. It 

 has not been known previously from Europe, but this may be due to 

 the fact that collections in this family are fragmentary there. 



In this connection it should be noticed that the wings of the yellow 

 male were perfect but narrower and shorter than those of the female.
