Si/mpiesis uroplatae Howard has a petiole-liko 
neck to the jjropodeiiin, the latter bears median, 
lateral and a cross-carina ; the coxae are metallic and 
also tho dorisal edgo of the caudal femur. 8. mdacomet 
Crawford has a number of irregulär carinae on each 
side of the propodeum, mo.stly transverse; flavipes 
Ashmead has a propodeum somowhat as in uroplatae. 
None of theso species has an elongate abdomen. 
Describcd at first from one female labelled ,,Ex. 
leaf-miner, Columbia, Mo, May 27, 1912". Sub- 
sequently, a large series was found in the U. S. N. M. 
labelled ,,Sympiesis dolichogaster Ashmead. Parasite 
on Gracilaria". Also, ,,June and July 15. Riley Co., 
Kansas 848, 1751. .1440 F. Marlatt" ; „ Jacksonville, 
Florida"; „Hood River, Oregon, May 21"; ,,13. On 
Gracilaria belfragella, Aug. 22, 1892"; ,,4314, on 
Gracilaria on pepperwood"; and ,,From Rhus leaf- 
roller". 
Type: Catalogue No. 19994, U. S. N. M., the 
first specimen plus a slide bearing the head. 
Sympiesis meteori new species. 
F 6 m a 1 e : — Length, 2,15 mm. 
Resembles maculipes Crawford, himaculatus Craw- 
ford, stigmatipennis Girault and guitatipennis Girault. 
Differs from the first in having two spots on the fore 
wing and no cross-carina on the propodeum; from 
the second in having the spots on the fore wing much 
smaller and the tibiae are wholly white, the scape 
so except dorsad; from stigmatipennis in having the 
abdomen wholly concolorous, the proximal, distinct 
fuscous spot on the fore wing and a distinct, complete 
median carina on the propodeum; from guttatipennis 
in the same particulars. Proximal spot on the fore 
wing small, distinct, against the base of the marginal 
vein, the distal thrice larger, from the distal two 
thirds of the stigmal vein. Pedicel a half the length 
of funicle 1 which is nearly thrice longer than wide, 
4 somewhat longer than wide; club 2-jointed, its 
second Joint somewhat smaller than the first. Man- 
dibles 6-dentate. Thorax scaly punctate throughout. 
Median carina of the propodeum narrow; a very 
narrow lateral carina directly from the spiracle which 
is not quite complete; Just inside of its apex from 
the caudal margin is a short V-shaped carina with 
unequal arms. Marginal vein thrice the length of the 
stigmal. 
Described from one female reared from a leaf- 
miner, Columbia, Missouri, May 27, 1912 (L. Haseman). 
Type: Catalogue No. 19995, U. S. N. M., the 
above specimen on a tag, the caudal tibia, a fore 
wing and the fiead on a slide. 
Sympiesis massasoit Crawford. 
A series of specimens labelled ,,from Tischeria 
leaf-miner, May 27, July 12, 1912, Columbia, Mis- 
souri". The mandibles-are 6- and 7-dentate. Caudal 
inai'gin of propod<Mim Htrongly earinati-d from m<!Kon 
a fourth tlic way to tho Hj)iracl(;; tho carina thoii runs 
cejjhalad to aboud tho midrile of the propodeum and 
ends in a short mcso-cephalic arm; no othor carinae 
except tho median one. Pro])0(leuin glabrouH or 
n{>arly. Tlu- fiist two tibiae in tho male may bo ontirely 
yollow, UHuaily broadly so at haso. Thc nialo scape 
is distinetly comproKsed-dilatod ventrad , not 
convexly but nearly evenly so all along; the 
funicle is 5-jointod, the club solid, the funiclo joinlp 
with thoir ventral halvos whitish. Tho mandiblos are 
tridentato in the male. This species is a synonym of 
nigripes Ashmead. I have compared its tyjjos with 
a specimen of nigripes identified by Ashmead and 
from Ohio. It has been reared by D. Isely from 
0. geminatella and Tischeria malifoliella at North 
East, Pennsylvania, May, June, 1915. 
Eulophus lineaticoxa new species. 
Female: — Length, 2,00 mm. 
Dark metallic green, the head and abdomen blue, 
the wings hyaline, the venation dusky, the legs white 
except a metallic line down the proximal half of each 
coxa laterad; abdomen ventrad reddish yellow for 
proximal half or a little more. Thorax densely punctate 
scaly, the head smoother, the propodeum rather short, 
shining, with a median carina which splits at base 
(cephalad). a lateral carina which originates about 
the middle of the lateral margin, runs straight mesad 
to the spiracle, thence straight caudad to caudal 
margin and from thence (the longest arm) to meson 
along the margin which is oblique; also a pair of 
oblique (meso-caudad) cross-carinae from the side 
of the split of the median caiina to the second bend 
or angle of the lateral carina at caudal margin. 
Differs from the accepted diagnosis of Eulophus 
in bearing two ring-Joints and the marginal vein is 
about thrice the length of the slender stigmal (the 
latter about half the length of the long postmarginal). 
Propodeum with a short (thrice wider than long) neck. 
Propodeal spiracle small, round-oval. Axillae much 
advanced. Scutum constricted cephalad, the parapsi- 
dal furrows at cephalic third only. Prothorax large.. 
transverse-quadrate. Abdomen depressed, a little 
longer than the thorax. Mandibles 6-dentate. An- 
tennae inserted somewhat below the middle of the 
face; pedicel barely longer than ^\^de; funicle 1 elon- 
gate, nearly as long as the scape, thrice longer than 
wide, 2 and 3 subequol, each about two and a thiid 
times longer than wide; club Joints distinetly shorter 
than those of the funicle, 1 somewhat longer than 
wide, subequal to 2, each about half the length of 
funicle 3; club 3 somewhat smaller, Avith a distinct 
terminal nipple. First ring-Joint very short. Cephalic 
thorax hairy. 
Described from a single female reared from Tischeria 
species, Columbia, Missouri, June 1^ — 7, 1912 (L. 
Haseman). 
Type: Catalogue No. 19 998, U. S. N. M., the 
above specimen on a tag, the head, a hind leg and a 
pair of wings on a slide. 
This species differs from Eulophus güttiventris 
Girault in that there is no dorsal spot on the abdomen 
the series of carinae on the propodeum i? quite diffe-
