AET. 25 XEW ICHNEUMON-FLIES- — CUSHMAN 9 



subopaque, stout; petiole distinctly though not strongly depressed, 

 distinctly channelled laterally, the channel posteriorly pitlike; post- 

 petiole broad, depressed; second tergite about as broad at apex as 

 long, gastrocoeli subdistinct, oval; ovipositor sheath hardly twice as 

 long as first segment. 



Black; mandibles, palpi, tegulae and legs ferruginous; mandi- 

 bles more or less black basally; coxae black, front and middle pairs 

 ferruginous below; hind tibia obscurely pale basad of middle above; 

 wings pale infumate, radices yellowish; abdominal venter brownish. 



Male. — Essentially like female. The antennae are broken but are 

 evidently nearly as long as body with all joints distinctly longer 

 than thick. 



Type locality. — Edmonton, Alberta. 



Type.—C^i. No. 42159, U.S.N.M. 



Two females and one male from the type locality. May 12-14, 

 George Salt; and three females from St. Agatha, Quebec, May 26, 

 1929, and one female from Timmins, Ontario, May 15, 1929, the last 

 four collected by the French Ichneumonologist, Andre Seyrig. One 

 of the paratypes is returned to Mr. Seyrig for deposit in the Museum 

 National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, and another is deposited in the 

 Canadian National Collection, Ottawa, Ontario. 



PRISTOMERUS BAUMHOFERI. new species 



Closely related to agilis (Cresson) but at once distinguishable in 

 the female by its pale yellow frontal orbits and apical margins of 

 tergites 3 to 7; and in the male by the parallel eyes and smaller 

 ocelli. 



Female. — Length 5-6.5 mm. (type 5.5 mm.). 



Head transversely oval; eyes parallel; face medially elevated, 

 sparsely punctate; clypeus strongly convex, apically truncate, 

 suture straight; malar space hardly two-thirds basal width of man- 

 dible ; temples narrow, strongly convexly receding ; diameter of ocel- 

 lus and ocell-ocular line equal; antennae a little more than half as 

 long as body. Thorax less than twice as long as deep, finely punc- 

 tate; prothorax subpolished, rugulose in impression; notauli deep 

 but broadly impressed anteriorly, obsolete posteriorly; scutellum 

 strongly convex; propodeum finely rugulose-punctate, areolet pen- 

 tagonal, twice as long as broad, much shorter than petiolar area; 

 radius weakly curved at apex, postnervulus broken slightly above 

 middle; legs rather slender, femoral tooth at about apical third, 

 small to obsolete. Abdomen rather slender, postpetiole and second 

 tergite finely longitudinally aciculate; other tergites finely 

 shagreened, the second somewhat longitudinally so basally; second 

 a little more than three times as long as broad at base; ovipositor 

 sheath slightly longer than combined first and second tergites.
