79 



19 females, 2 males. 



Parasites from Asphondyliae terminaliae Tuv. 



2. Eurytoma electa new s peei es, Crosby. 



Female. — Length, 2.8 to 3 mm. ; abdómen 1.5 mm. Black ; 

 antennae and legs except coxae yellowish ; base of abdómen beneath 

 testaceous. Head and thoracic dorsum densely umbilicate-punctate. 



Head seen from above transverse, concave behind, convex in 

 front ; seen from in front the eyes are slightly more convergent 

 above than in Eurytoma sulcata. Antennal furrow with the mar- 

 gins nearly parallel, not straight but bent mesally just above the 

 insertion of the antennae. Smooth median facial line does not at- 

 tain to base of antennae. Sculpture of thorax similar to that in E. 

 sulcata. Sides of propodeum coarsely umbilicate-punctate, some of 

 the punctures being confluent ; the dorsal face with the longitudi- 

 nal depression broad and shallow, reticulate riner medially. No 

 longitudinal groove present. Mesosternum with the grooves deli- 

 cately reticulate with a small median anterior fovea; no median ca- 

 rina present, the grooves separated by a broad low elevation ; pos- 

 terior triangular depression with a median carina. 



Antennae yellowish, flagellum dusky above. AU coxae black ; 

 rest of legs orange-yellow ; knees, tip of tibiae and tarsi nearly 

 white. Sometimes there is a suffused dark spot on posterior fémur. 

 Front face of front coxa± provided with a sharp oblique ridge 

 above which there is a broad, rather shallow furrow. Hind coxae 

 finely reticulate. Wings hyaline. 



Abdómen with a very delicate pavement-like sculpture which 

 extends almost to the posterior edge of the segments leaving a 

 polished band. 



Male. — Length, 1.9 to 2 mm.; abdómen, 1.6 mm. In color 

 and sculpture similar to female. Antennae more suffused with dus- 

 ky than in female, especially above; tip of scape above also dusky; 

 funicle joints four, sub-equal, strongly arched above, strongly pe- 

 dicellate, hairs about as long as the joints, arranged in two whorls 

 on funicle joints 2-4 ; on the first there are three whorls, the mid- 

 dle one being irregular. Legs as in female. Propodeum with sides 

 of dorsum coarsely reticu late, the central portion gently concave,
