clavate at tip. Abdomen measured without the extended seg- 

 ments, 1.1 mm. long; first extended segment, 1.75 mm. long; 

 the following, 0.4 mm. long, narrowing to its tip; ovipositor, 7 

 mm. long, the sheaths scarcely clavate at tip. Legs very slender, 

 the middle much more so than the others. Fore tibiae longer 

 than their tarsi and shorter than their femora; mid and hind 

 tibise as long as their tarsi but longer than their femora, joint 

 1 as long as the last 3 together, and 2 as long as 3 and 4 together. 

 Common in Ficus nota at Los Banos, P. I. 



Philotrypesis ashmeadii sp. nov. 



Male. — Exceedingly close in characters to P. similis, but head 

 (fig. 3, C) distinctly longer than broad, 0.55 mm. broad by 0.7 

 mm. long. Scape dark brown, nearly 3.5 times longer than 

 broad, pedicel less than half as long as the scape, flagellum pale 

 yellowish, 8-jointed, the joints progressively wider, subequal in 

 length save last 3, the last 2 forming a scarcely distinct club. AIT 

 tibise as long as, or longer than, their femora; anterior margins 

 of middle and hind tibiae less numerously spined than in P. si- 

 milis; first joint of hind tarsi short, not one-half as long as 

 fourth joint, the latter much longer than all the preceding 

 together; lobe of second joint not extending beyond the third. 

 Male claspers long, parallel-sided, the outcurved blunt ends 

 armed with 3 or 4 very stout black teeth. 



Female. — Body clear brown; legs pale yellow. Differs from 

 P. similis as follows : Lateral ocelli nearer to eyes than to median 

 ocellus. Scape about 4 times as long as wide, pale yellowish; 

 pedicel nearly one-half the length of scape, not as thick, and 

 with the 3 ring-joints darker in color; flagellum fuliginous, of 

 5 similar segments, with a 3-jointed club. Abdomen measured 

 without the extended segments, 1 mm. long; first extended seg- 

 ment, 2.4 mm., the second, 0.4 mm; ovipositor, about 5 mm. 

 long, the sheaths distinctly clavate at tip. 



Frequent in gall figs of Ficus nota at Los Banos, P. I. Prob- 

 ably parasitic on the blastophaga. 



Philotrypesis collaris sp. nov. 



Male. — The largest of the broad-headed, apterous males with 

 short pointed abdomens to be found in the gall figs of Ficus nota , ^ 



at Los Banos. Head (fig. 3, B) subquadrate, 0,95 mm. long and 1 



1 mm. broad, thus broader than long ; a row of long stiff bristles 

 along occipital margins; mandibles long and narrow, bidentate 

 (the inner tooth subtruncate), and broadly overlapping; clypeus
