Scambus (Apechtis) annulicornis (Cresson). 
Mr. Yuasa has collected a series of 22 specimens on different 
dates during July and August. 
As Morley has pointed out this is a typical Apechtis, and not; 
as suggested by Viereck Pumplidea [= Pimpla Auct. sen. str.]. 
Scambus (Pimplidea) turionellz (L.). 
A large series of tenuicornis and of annulipes, collected by Mr. 
Yuasa, compared with European specimens of turionelle con- 
vince me that Morley is correct in synonymizing them. Some 
specimens have forecoxe black and tegule black, some forecoxe 
black and tegule white, some forecoxe part red and part black, 
some forecoxe red and tegule white. The series also shows 
variation in the color of the posterior tarsi, these being usually all 
fuscous, but the metatarsus sometimes white at base. 
Meniscus superbus Cresson. 
Six-Mile Creel, Ithaca, 22, 23, 24, July; 1018) 22) 90) amdace 
The color of the abdomen varies, the 3d segment being often 
more or less fuscous, and in one female the entire abdomen is 
fuscous dorsally, except the fourth and fifth segments are reddish 
laterally. On the other hand one male has the entire abdomen 
dorsally red except the first segment.
