in this genus, while the secondary sexual characters remain 
unknown. That two species are represented by the material in 
question is thus so nearly certain that I do not hesitate at all, 
but forthwith describe the second American species of the 
genus. 
Aphelinoidea plutella new species. 
Aphelinoidea semifuscipennis Girault, male, in Girault I. c. 
Female.—Similar to the type species of the genus excepting as al- 
ready pointed out in the place cited. The specimen before me differs 
also in color, however, the whole of the thorax and head ochraceous 
not blackish, the base of the abdomen yellowish suffused with orange. 
Discal ciliation confined to the distal half of the fore wing and sepa- 
rated from the apex of the venation by a clear path which is naked; 
the fumation of the fore wing extends only to the end of the marginal 
vein. The proximal joint of the club is less than a third of the length 
of that segment. 
Habitat: United States of America—lIllinois (Centralia and 
Urbana). 
Type: Accession No. 41,680, Illinois State Laboratory of 
Natural History, Urbana, Illinois, one female in xylol-balsam 
(mounted with the type female of semifuscipennis Girault). 
There are now known six species of Aphelinoidea, four of 
them from Queensland, Australia, but as yet undescribed. 
2. ANTHEMILLA GIRAULT EQUALS PARALLELAPTERA E,NOCK. 
In the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Wash- 
ington, Volume XIII, 1911, pp. 185-187, a new genus and spe- 
cies of Mymaridz is described from North America under the 
name Anthemiella rex Girault. This genus was thought to be 
different from any Mymarid genus then known, but it was 
recognized that it was closely allied with Anthemus Howard 
from which it differs markedly in venation only. I have been 
considerably surprised, therefore, in finding later on that the 
genus had already been described by Enock for Parallelaptera 
panis Enock (Transactions of the Entomological Society of 
London for the year 1909, December, p. 454, pl. XIII, figs. 
1-5). But Enock, in the original description of the genus 
gives no characteristics of it and its position is unstated; we 
learn from the description, however, that the male antenne
