PARASITIC WASPS OF BRACONID SUBFAMILY EUPHORINAE 13 
weakly broadly impressed down the middle; stigma not twice as long as broad, 
slightly longer than radial cell; recurrent vein entering first cubital cell far from 
intercubitus; abdomen as long as thorax; first tergite depressed, broadening 
strongly behind middle, finely rugulose, the spiracles not farther from each 
other than from apex of tergite; second tergite broadening behind, carinate 
laterally, smooth like the following; ovipositor sheaths as long as posterior 
femur. Head brownish yellow, stemmaticum and occiput blackish; thorax 
black; legs brownish yellow; middle and hind coxae more or less piceous; wings 
subhyaline, stigma and veins brown; first abdominal tergite black; remainder 
of dorsum of abdomen piceous, brownish yellow apically at sides. 
Perilitus coccinellae is a wide-spread parasite of the adults of 
numerous species of Coccinellidae. According to Balduf (1), it has 
been recorded from Europe, North America, Hawaii, and New Zea- 
land. The following general localities are represented by material 
in the collection of the United States National Museum, most of it 
received from the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine: 
District of Columbia, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, South 
Carolina, Alabama, Indiana, Idaho, Oregon, California, New Mexico, 
Chile, Hawaii, New Zealand, New South Wales, Spain, and Transvaal. 
Cushman (4, pp. 153-155), Balduf (1), and Goidanich (6, p. 42) have 
published interesting observations on the biology and host associa- 
tions of this parasite. \ 
It has been supposed that this species may occur only in the female 
sex, since there seems to have been no authentic record of the recovery 
of a male specimen since Nees, in 1834, briefly characterized what he 
considered to be the male of this species. In the United States 
National Museum, however, are two male specimens of P. coccinellae, 
both from California, and reared, respectively, from Hippodamia 
convergens Guér. and Coccinella californica Mann. 
(2) PERILITUS PYRI (Viereck), new combination 
Dinocampus pyri Viereck, Conn. State Geol. and Nat. Hist. Survey Bull. 22: 
225, 1916. 
Type.—In the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station at New 
Haven, Conn. 
This species differs from coccinellae and resembies the genotype, 
rutilis Nees, ia its more slender form, much shorter scape and pedicel, 
less strongly transverse head, more uniformly hairy mesonotal lobes, 
sharply defined notauli, interstitial recurrent vein, and relatively 
larger first discoidal cell. It appears to be very similar to the genotype 
and may prove to be the same species. The writer has not seen 
adequate material, however, to permit the determination of this 
point. 
Host.—Unknown. . 
The National collection contains a single male specimen, from 
Ocean County, N. J. The type was recorded from New Haven, 
Conn.
