MONOGRAPH OF THE NORTH AMERICAN PROCTOTRYPmyE. 415 



length of the first fiiniclar joint, funiclar joints 2 to 5 not or scarcely 

 longer than thick, 0th and 7th transverse. Scntellum with a fovea ail 

 across the base, connected with lateral grooved lines. Metapleura 

 covered with a cinereous pubescence. Wings subhyaliue, pubescent; 

 stigma brown, nervures pallid. Abdomen oblong-oval, polished black, 

 about as long as the thorax ; the petiole rugose, pubescent. 

 Habitat. — Europe, Canada. 



A specimen of what is evidently this P^uropean species was sent to 

 me, more than four years ago, by Mr. W. Hague Harrington. 



Lozotropa californica, sp. nov. 



9 , Length, 1.8""". Allied to L. abrupta, but differs as follows : The 

 first flagellar joint is two-thirds the length of the pedicel ; the scutel- 

 lum has a very shallow not large fovea at base, the lateral impressed 

 lines only distinct posteriorly; wings hyaline or very slightly tinged 

 with fuscous; sometimes wanting; the head is a little wider before than 

 behind; cheeks behind, collar at sides, and petiole densely woolly. 



Habitat. — Santa Cruz Mountains, California. 



Types in Coll. Ashmead. 



Loxotropa flavipes, sp. nov. 



?. Length, 1.3 to 1.6""". Polished black, impunctured; antennje 

 (except club) and legs brownish-yellow or reddish -yellow; wings hya- 

 line, pubescent, the stigma piceous. The head is a little longer than 

 wide and a little wider before than behind, the frons flattened. An- 

 tennae 12-jointed, as in L. columbiana, the three last funiclar joints grad- 

 ually widened, transverse; club abrui^t, 3-jointed, joints 1 and 2 quad- 

 rate, joint 3 oblong. Scutellum with 2 small fovea? at base, usually more 

 or less confluent, and with lateral grooved lines posteriorly. Metathorax 

 roughened, i)ubescent, with an acute i)roniinence above. Abdomen 

 oblong-oval, black, shining, the petiole with a long, cinereous pubes- 

 cence. ■•''•-■; 



The S agrees with the female structurally, except the fovefe at base 

 of scutellum are deeper and always confluent, and in having 14-jointed, 

 filiform-moniliform Jintennse. Legs and antenna; honey-yellow. The 

 pedicel and the second flagellar joint are aboutof an equal length, tlie 

 latter a little curved or dilated toward one side at apex, the first more 

 slender and shorter, the following, to the last, rounded-moniliform, the 

 last ovate. 



Habitat. — Maryland, Virginia, and District of Columbia.
