510 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol.48. 



Described from six female specimens, the type and paratypes A 

 to E reared from the larvae of the host species by the writer under 

 Quaintance No. 7897, and one female (paratype F) taken in the 

 same locality October 23, 1913. 



The size of the specimens in the type series varies from 5.5 mm. 

 to 7 mm., A being the smallest. Paratype B differs from the type 

 in having the abdomen entirely black, while in F the rufous color 

 embraces the fourth tergite. 



AENOPLEX PLESIOTYPUS, new species. 



Female. — Length, 5.5 mm. Black, with each of the tergites 

 except the first narrowly margined with white; legs, including 

 coxae rufous, posterior tibiae, and tarsi infuscated. Extremely like 

 the genotype, Aenoplex betulsecola Ashmead, from which it differs as 

 follows : antennae only about two-thirds as long as body and 22- 

 jointed; areola two-thirds as wide basally as apically (in betulaecola 

 it is less than half as wide basally as apically); petiolar area trans- 

 versely rugulose (in betulaecola the rugulosity is confined to the edges 

 of the area); exserted portion of the ovipositor not more than half 

 as long as abdomen (in betulaecola it is distinctly more than half as 

 long).

 and spot in front white; hind tibiae white with basal and apical 

 blackish annuli connected below by a longitudinal line of the same
