are somewhat more extensive, while the ferruginous color 
covers more of the flagellum. In some Cuban specimens 
the apical abdominal segments are as extensively fer- 
ruginous-red as in cubensis; in the Bahaman specimens 
they are almost wholly black. One Cuban specimen, how- 
ever, is in this respect like those of the Bahamas, so that 
the Bahaman wasps without reddish on the base of the 
first tergite do not seem to be racially distinct from the 
Cuban ones. 
7b. Pachodynerus scrupeus var. bahamensis Beqnaert 
and Salt, 1931. This form differs from typical scrupeus 
in the first tergite of the abdomen being tricolored, 
broadly red at base (to beyond the angular edge), nar- 
rowly black in the middle, and banded with yellow at apex. 
The terminal segments of the abdomen are black in all 
specimens seen. Known only from the Bahamas: New 
Providence; Andros I. (Andros Cay) ; Long I. (Clarence- 
town) ; Watling I.; Rum Cay. 
Male (nndescribed). — Similar in color to the female, 
except that the clypens is entirely yellow. Structurally it 
agrees with the male of typical scrupeus. 
Allotype from New Providence, Bahamas, May 1, 1932 
(J. Gr. Myers). Both holotype and allotype at M.C.Z. 
(No. 27832). 
Pupal Parasites of Tabanid^. — To complete the record 
the following references should be appended to my note on 
the pupal parasites of the Tabanidae (Bailey, 1947). The 
chalcid Diglochis occidentals Ashmead, of the Pteromali- 
dae, was reported as a parasite of three species of Chry- 
sops , namely C. excitans, C. mitis and C. moerens , by Cam- 
eron (1926) and Philip (1931) found four pupae of C. mitis 
parasitized by this species in Minnesota. These were pre- 
viously overlooked. References : Bailey, N. S., 1947.,
