PARASITIC WASPS OF BRACONID SUBFAMILY EUPHORINAE 25 
posterior tibia more than one-third as long as the metatarsus; stigma large, about 
twice as long as its greatest breadth; radius arising from beyond middle of stigma, 
the first abscissa nearly half as long as greatest width of stigma, forming a right 
angle with second abscissa, which is well developed and straight and extends 
almost to apex of wing; metacarpus distinct to apex of radial cell. 
Abdomen as long as head and thorax combined, nearly as broad as thorax; 
first tergite broadening rather strongly beyond middle and with a little weak, 
indefinite sculpture before the spiracles, which are much behind the middle; 
remainder of abdomen smooth and polished; ovipositor sheaths scarcely as long 
as posterior metatarsus. 
Head yellow; antennae dusky apically; thorax testaceous, dorsum piceous; 
legs entirely yellow; wings hyaline; -stigma yellowish brown, the veins paler; 
abdomen yellowish brown, more or less piceous toward apex. 
Male.—Very similar to female. Antennae as long as head and thorax com- 
bined, 14-segmented. Head and thorax yellowish ferruginous; stemmaticum and 
occiput piceous; abdomen mostly piceous beyond first segment. 
Type locality.—(?) Urbana, Il. 
Type.—United States National Museum no. 49913. 
One female and one male. The female type is labeled ‘‘5689”’, which 
apparently represents an accession number of the Illinois Natural 
History Survey. According to H. H. Ross, of that institution, this 
number refers to ‘beatings from box elder, Urbana, Illinois, May 23, 
1885.” The allotype was collected at Mount Holly Springs, Pa., by 
R. M. Fouts, June 16, 1920. 
The Genus EUPHORIELLA Ashmead 
Euphoriella Ashmead, U. 8. Nat. Mus. Proc., 23: 116, 1900. (Genotype, Labeo 
incertus Ashmead.) 
Closely related to Huphorus, the only essential difference being the 
absence of radius and the incomplete subcostella in Huphoriella. The 
two genera may need to be combined ultimately, but until additional 
material is obtained, showing more complete intergradation with 
Huphorus, it seems advisable to hold Euphoriella distinct on the basis 
of this character. 
Head large, subquadrate, completely margined behind; temples and cheeks 
broad, not receding; face strongly receding; eyes converging anteriorly; antennae 
short, 14-segmented in all the specimens seen; scape twice as long as thick; pedicel 
longer than thick; vertex broad, convex. Thorax much narrower than head; 
notauli absent; impression at base of scutellum large, deep; propodeum narrowing 
a little posteriorly, not abruptly declivous and not excavated behind; stigma 
broad; medius absent or indistinct; median and submedian cells sparsely hairy; 
radius, intercubiti, recurrent vein, and subdiscoideus lacking; end of radius some- 
times indicated by a very short spur at wing margin a little beyond stigma; basal 
vein, base of cubitus, nervulus, and submedius distinct; posterior wing narrow; 
subcostella incomplete, interrupted basad of basella; mediella and basella dis- 
tinct; radiella, cubitella, submediella, and nervellus wanting; first abdominal seg- 
ment slender, not or hardly broadened at apex, the spiracles at about the middle; 
remainder of abdomen more or less pyriform; combined first and second tergites 
large and overlapping beneath; ovipositor very short, hardly visible, somewhat 
decurved. 
Euphoriella testaceipes Cameron (2, p. 261) appears to be the only 
species, in addition to the genotype, that has been referred to this 
genus, and it obviously does not belong here. The long antennae, 
impressed notauli, complete first cubital and first discoidal cells, and 
exserted ovipositor, which Cameron ascribed to testaceipes, disagree 
with the characters of Huphoriella.. From the description alone the 
proper position for this species does not appear to be clearly indicated.
