AULACIDAE StEPHANIDAE GaSTERUPTIONIDAE ROPRONIIDAE 96 1 



Pammegischia Provancher 



(The species of this genus are parasites of the wood-boring larvae of the horntails 

 of the family Xiphydriidae.) 



P. burquei Prov. Essex Co, Jl (Bdy-NYS) ; McLean, Je 30, 1921 (Bdy-CU) ; 



Nassau, Jl (Bdy-NYS) ; LI: Yaphank, Je (Bdy-BM). 

 P. pallipes Cress. Saranac Inn (US), type of xiphydriae Ashm. ; Caroline to

 S. cinctipes Cress. "NY" (Schletterer). 

 S. rufipes Say. LI, Eng (Sf-BM). 



Family GASTERUPTIONIDAE 



(Foenidae) 



The eastern species of this family have usually been identified as Gasteruption 

 incertum or G. tarsatorium, according to whether they have short or long ovipositors. 

 Kieffer has shown that, in fact, other species of Gasteruption, as well as of his genus 

 Trichofoenus, are involved, and pending definite determination of the species to which 

 each record should apply we are obliged to omit most records, despite the fact that 

 specimens are numerous, attracted by the flowers of wild parsnip and other plants, 

 in late summer. Numerous specimens from New York State were in the hands of 

 L'Abbe Kieffer at the time of his death, and had he lived to determine these the 

 records below would doubtless be much more extensive. The insects are parasites 

 of bees. 



Gasteruption Latreille 

 (Foeniis Fabricius) 



G. assectator (L.). According to Kieffer a holarctic species. He records it from 



NY. 

 G. tarsatorium (Say). Ithaca, Je 25 (Bdy-CU). 

 G. intricatum Kf. Ithaca, Jl 24-Aug 24 (Bdy-CU). 



Trichofoenus Kieffer 



T. canadensis Kf. Ithaca, Je 13-17 (Bdy-CU); Spencer L., Je 30 (Bdy-CU). 



T. micrurus Kf. New Russia, Aug 18 (Bdy-CU) ; Niagara Falls, Je 27, Vier 

 (Bdy-CU); Crosby Landing on L. Keuka, Je 26 (Bdy-CU); Ithaca, Je 14- 

 Jl 25 (Bdy-CU); Taughannock, Jl 4 (Bdy-CU). This seems to be the 

 common form usually identified as Gasteruption incertum.
