MONOGHAPH OF THE NOKTH AMERICAN PROCTOTRYPID^. 75 



tliau half the length of the first branch of the basal nervure. Abdo- 

 men cyliudrui-ovate, a little lonf-er than the head and thorax nnited. 



In the S the middle and posterior tibiie are pale brown, the abdo- 

 men being shorter than the head and thorax united. 



Habitat. — Florida and District of Colund)ia. 



Types in National Museum and Coll. Ashmead. 



The species is closely allied to (r. platyiioUv, but its slightly smaller 

 and more slender form, the subhyaline wings, au«l the black stigma 

 an«l parastigma, readily distinguish it. 



The National Museum contains a specimen, reared April 14, 1882, at 

 Georgiaua, Fla., from a tineid larva in dry fungus.

 Metathorax smooth, with a delicate niediau carina, and carinated along 

 the lateral margins.
