MONOGRAPH OF THE NORTH AMERICAN PROCTOTKYPIDJ5. 133 



Le^fs pubesceut, the posterior coxse pilose behind ; the last joint of 

 posterior tarsi almnt twice as long as the second. 



This genus is very closely allied to Ceraphron Jiirine and it requires 

 great care to se- .urate it from that genus. The frons is more convex, 

 the facial impression less distinct, the scutellum longer and convex, 

 without teeth at base of metathorax ; wiiile, as a rule, the metathoracic 

 angles are less distinct. 



Spnarsifi Fiirster, seems to be without doubt identical, his type S. 

 piilla being evidently a small species of Aphanogmus, without the cen- 

 tral mesonotal furrow and with the head held horizontally, a position 

 often assumed by many species in the group. 



All the species known are minute and could easily be mistaken for 

 species in the tribe Telenominl in the subfamily SceUonina. 



The species known to me in our fauna may be separated by the aid 

 of the following table :
