icel, the latter obconic, very much larger than the first funicle joint. 

 The latter nearly globular, small, only a third the length of the second 

 funicle joint which is the longest joint of the funicle; funicle 3 

 slightly shorter, 4 still somewhat shorter but widening distad; 5 and 6 

 subequal, slightly longer than the preceding. Club ovate, as long as the 

 combined lengths of funicle joints 5 and 6, longer than the scape. 

 (From I specimen, two-thirds inch objective, i-inch optic, Bausch and 

 Lomb). 



Male : — The same but the abdomen is blunt at tip. 



Antennae 13-jointed, filiform; joints of the flagellum, gradually 

 lengthening distad but funicle i is a third shorter than funicle 2; 

 funicle 2 to 5 subequal; 6 to 9 subequal, slightly longer; 10 to 11

 (From 2 specimens, the same objective and optic). 



Described from two male and one female specimens, a pair 

 first received from Professor C. P. Gillette mounted on a 

 single slide labelled "Parasites found on apple twigs. Proba- 

 bly from eggs of Aphis pomi, 1904, S. A. J." The third speci- 

 men, a male, was received from Dr. E. P. Felt, of the New 

 York State Museum and State Entomologist of New York, 

 also mounted on a slide labelled, "a 1456. E. Schodack, 24, Apr., 

 '07." 



Habitat: United States — Colorado, New York (E. Scho- 

 dack). 



Types: Accession No. 40,809. Illinois State Laboratory of 

 Natural History, Urbana, Illinois, one male and one female 

 mounted on a single slide in balsam. Cotype — Cotype No. 13,- 

 650, United States National Museum. \\'ashington. D. C, one 

 male on a slide in balsam (New York). 



This species is distinguished from the common species of 

 the genus as I find them in Illinois by its unusually long cilia- 

 tion of the wings and the finer, more delicate appearance of 

 this ciliation. 



Postscript: Dr. E. P. Felt has stated to me in a letter that 

 the male specimen received from him, as previously written 

 above, was reared from the galls of Dasy)icura scrnilata O. S., 

 taken on alder at East Schodack, New York, ]\Iarch 29, 1907. 

 the parasites emerging the 24th of April following.
