former often brownish except at apex; apical joint of all tarsi dark; 

 abdomen polished aeneous. 



Male . — Unknown . 



Type-locality. — Glendale, California. 



Type— Cat. No. 18334, U.S.N.M. 



Twenty-five specimens from the type-locality, reared by T. D. 

 Urbahns from alfalfa seed pods infested with Brucophagus funebris, 

 and recorded in the Bureau of Entomology under Webster No. 6044. 



Family EULOPHIDAE. 



Subfamily ENTODONINAE. 

 DEROSTENUS FULLOWAYI Crawford. 



Several specimens which are believed to be this species have been 

 reared by C. N. Ainslie from Agromyza parvicornis at Elkpoint, South 

 Dakota, and are recorded under Webster No. 8870, Bureau of Ento- 

 mology. The stigmal cloud in these specimens as well as in the type 

 series of D. fullowayi in the United States National Museum varies 

 all the way from very distinct to entirely absent, and it is doubtful 

 whether the species is distinct from D. variipes Crawford, which was 

 described from a single specimen.
