Notes 011 Describocl Clialcidoid Hynieii- 
optera with New Genera and Speeles. 
By .4. .4. Girnnlt. 
Family Eulopliidae. 
Subfamily Tetrastichinae. 
Neompkaloidella semilongifaticiata new species. 
Female: — Length, 1,20 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, the wings subhyaline, the 
venation, abdomen (except a rather broacl, conspi- 
cuous stripe along each margin at proximal half and 
the apex broadly of the valves of the ovipositor) and 
legs (except coxae and the first two pairs of femora), 
golden yellow. Scape pallid except the purple dorsal 
edge. Pedicel paler ventro-distad, a half longer than, 
Wide, a little shorter than club 1 ; funicle 2 longest, 
elongate, thrice longer than wide, 1 and 3 svxbequal, 
each somewhat shorter than 2, distinctly longer than 
any of the club joints ; club 3 shortest, with a distinct 
terminal nipple. Mandibles tridentate. Propodeum 
coarsely scaly, with a median carina and two carinae 
laterad of the spiracle which converge and join distad 
in a point. Sculpture usual. 
Described from one female captured in a meadow, 
Pi'ince George County, Maryland, September. 
This species resembles a Merisus and is colored 
like four or five species of Australian Tetrastichines 
and Eupelmines. 
Type: Catalogue No. 19990, U. S. N. M., the 
above specimen on a tag, the head on a slide. 
Epomphaloides [Astichus) minutus (Howard.) 
Differs from Geniocerus chrysopae in having the 
funicle joints longer. 
Differs from Tetrastichodes detrimentosus Gahan in 
having the scape entirely black and there are three 
ring-joints instead of two. ; 
Tetrastichodes tibialis Ashraead is a species of 
Tetr astichus; the male has the legs white except the 
caudal coxae; the female scape is dusky above at tip; 
ring-joints not seen. In the female funicle, 3 i,s twice 
longer than wide, somewhat longer than 1 or 2. Dark 
blue (female head on a slide). Also tibialis has a lateral 
carina directly from the spiracle (making an inverted V 
with a reciprocal arm going latero-caudad) and with 
a somewhat shorter, parallel carina along it mesad. 
Tj'pes extimrned. 
Tetrastichus johnsoni Howard differs from minutus 
in the generic character and is a species of Aprostocetus ; 
the terminal joint of the club bears a slender nipple 
about as long as itself; funicle 1 is about two and a 
half times longer than wide, 3 twice longei' than wide, 
longer than the rather long pedicel and a little longer 
than club 1 which is longest of the club ; the propodeum 
bears a lateral carina Avhich forks before the apex and 
also a median carina. The mandibles are strongly 
bidentate, with a deep concavity between the two 
rather long teelh (head on a slide). Hyperteles blasto- 
phagi Ashmead is a species of Tetrastichus; there is 
a row of punctures along the lateral margin of the 
scutum; the mandibles are tridentate; third club 
joint small, with a distinct terminal nipple. There 
is a weak carina just laterad of the lateral carina. 
Funicles 1 — 3 about twice longer than wide. Scape 
and pedicel pale. 
{Geniocerus) Tetrastichodes chrysopae (Crawford) is 
very similar to Tetrastichodes thanasimi (Ashmead), 
types examined but the scape and pedicel are dark 
in the former (scape pale yellow, also the pedicel 
except above at base in thanasimi) and the funicle 
joints somewhat shorter. 
Hyperteles blastophagi Ashmead differs from 
Tetrastichodes detrimentosus Gahan generically and in 
having the pedicel pale and the distinct punctures 
on lateral scutum (head of blastopJiagi on a slide). 
Tetrastichus thanasimi Ashmead has the scape and
