(le la Province de Qm'btH'," page 154, a ffenus, Hopr^mia, witli one 

 species, pedmilata, which he at first phiccd in the faniily liraronidn; but 

 wliirh subsequently in the same work, page 40(5, lie removes to the 

 Hclorlnn. The genus is unknown to me in nature, but from his de- 

 scription and figure of the anterior wing, I believe it to be a liraconid, 

 and it is in consequence not included here.

(Type n. anonuilipex Paiiz.) 



This genus is sufficiently described in the characters given for dis- 

 tinguishing the group. It is parasitic in the cocoons of Chrysopa, a 

 Neuropterus insect, and, so far, only a single species lias been detected 

 in our fauna.

This species comes nearest to the European E. anomalipes Panz., 

 but it is slenderer, the scutellum smoother, the petiole rougher, and the 

 legs paler than in that species.
