did not undergo much change in drying. The two apical sharp points of the penis 

 are paired structures, as in fact all the other parts shown are. The tips of the for- 

 ceps are very characteristic, being covered with erect, short, stiff hairs so that only 

 a little of the black apex is visible; the rest of the forceps before the erect hairs is red 

 in color. 



Wings subhyaline, small crossvein not clouded, third vein bristly haKway to it or 

 sometimes a little more; apical cell rather widely open; epaulet black, subepaulet 

 pale yellow. Legs entirely black; pulvilli blackish, large but shriveled in drying, all 

 claws elongated, fourth tarsal joint very short, less than half the fifth; hind femur with 

 intermediate row of short bristles; middle femur with short posterior comb (below 

 near tip). 



Length to hypopygium, 8-9 mm. 



9 . Front wider, equaling one eye; palpi more clavate; dorsocentrals a httle 

 better developed, four behind the suture, of which the anterior two are small; scu- 

 tellum without apicals; tip of abdomen red beginning with the last third or more of 

 the fourth segment; fifth segment deeply notched above and with an almost sht-hke 

 aperture behind, which is fringed with small bristles above; spiracles of fifth segment 

 visible; claws and pulvilli of medium size, the latter dark yellow; hind femora with- 

 out intermediate row of bristles; two pairs of orbital bristles. 

 Length, 7-13 mm. 



Material examined: One male and one female, Norfolk, Va., Sept. 

 6 and 18, 1914, bred from pupa of Allorhina nitida by D. E. Fink; 

 four males, Logansport, Ind., June 30, 1914 (Aldrich); two males, La- 

 fayette, Ind., Sept. 16 and Oct. 9 (Aldrich); four males and one 

 female, Tifton, Ga. (Hough Collection) ; four females, Opelousas, La. 

 (same); one male. Agricultural College, Mich, (same); one female, 

 Orlando, Fla. (same); and one from Pullman, 111. (same). 



The type is selected from the Logansport lot, but the drawing is 

 from the paratype bred from Allorhina, as it showed after boiling the 

 details of the penis, but was not in other respects suitable for the type. 



Two males and two females (including type) deposited in the U. S. 

 National Museum.
