 as in that species; also the hyaline wings which bear little or no discal ciliation, appearing

5 5. CHRYSOCHARELLA FASCIATIPENNIS Girault is referred to 

 NeocJirysocharella Dodd. 



Genus ACHEYSOCHAEOIDES Girault. 

 The seutellum in this genus is simple or practically so. 



1. ACHRYSOCHAROIDES SARCOPHAGUS (Girault). 



This species is associated with Asympiesiella nelsonensis Girault and Mestocharoideus 

 cyaneus (Girault) in galls on a forest bush. Postmarginal vein a third longer than the stigmal. 

 Marginal cilia of fore wing short. Eyes pubescent. Body polygonally reticulated, the vertex 

 nearly smooth. Distal club joint with a terminal spine. Propodeum smooth, noncarinate, ' the 

 spiracle small. Length, 1.35 mm. December. 



" Several specimens reared in February with Asympiesiella nelsonensis. Hyperparasite. 

 The scape is white. The conspicuous fovea mentioned as being on the seutellum is an irregular 

 circular depression formed of five contiguous punctures. There is a similar depression formed 

 by three punctures at distal two thirds of scutum and directly cephalad of the depression on 

 the seutellum and in a line with it. ' ' — A. P. Dodd. 



The depression on seutellum is nearer to the meson than the isolated seta caudad.
