Descriptiones Hymenopterorum Chalcidotdicorum 

 Variorum cum Observationibus. III. 



By A. A. GiRAULT, Glenndale, Maryland. 



Eupelmus inyoensis new species. 



9 . Closely allied to jnglandis Ashmead but differs in having the 

 middle tibiae metallic except at each end (hence the legs concolorous 

 except the knees, tarsi and tips of tibiae) and the caudal tibiae all dis- 

 tinctly metallic. Distal three tarsal joints black. The abdomen is 

 somewhat more slender than with jnglandis and the postmarginal vein 

 is only slightly longer than the stigmal (much longer in jnglandis). 

 Otherwise about the same. Differs from breincandus Crawford in the 

 coloration of the legs only. 



$. Similarly colored. Compared with types of the named species. 



Described from five females on tags in the United States 

 National Museum labelled "428 Inyo County, California." 



Types: Catalogue No. 20130, U. S. N. M., the above speci- 

 mens, an antenna on a slide. 



Eupelmus coccidis Girault. 



Differs from limncriac Howard only in bearing no metallic 

 on the caudal tibiae. One female among the type material of 

 hrci'icaudits Crawford and similarly labelled ; the caudal femur 

 v/as nearly all metallic centrally. There is slight metallic 

 laterad at apex of cephalic femur. 



Pseudomphale ancylae new species. 



$. Like lixiz'orus Crawford but a third smaller and differing most 

 noticeably in that the distal half of each tibia is white not merely the 

 tips. Differs also in the following particulars : Segment 2 of the abdo- 

 men is distinctly longer being about half the length of that region 

 and moreover it does not show a broad cross-stripe of scaliness dis- 

 tad (and which widens laterad) as does the other species but its distal 

 half bears rather dense, exceedingly delicate pin-punctures ; the other 

 abdominal segments dorsad do not show a distinct, rather coarse scali- 

 ness ; the petiole is somewhat longer than in lixivorus and the propo- 

 deum glabrous (except within the grooves). Scutellum subglabrous. 



Postmarginal vein very slightly longer than the short, usual stigmal : 

 funicle joints subglobular, i a little the longest, a little longer than the 

 pedicel, club with a distinct terminal spine. Mandibles bidentate and 

 with four or five minute teeth within. 



$. The same but the club is solid, the funicle 4-jointed (three ring- 

 joints), the joints 3 and 4 subequal, globular, longer than the pedicel, i
