WITH NOTES ON A EULOPHID ANT PARASITE.i 
By George C. Wheeler and Esther Hall Wheeler. 
Schizaspidia polyrhachicida new species 
(Fig. 1.) 
Female. Head small, three times as broad as long in dorsal 
view; but little narrower than the width of the thorax. Ocelli 
almost in a straight line, the outer ones less than an ocellus- 
diameter behind, the central one sunk in a grove which includes 
the antennal insertions. Head nearly twice wider than deep. 
Distance from ocellus to clypeus five-sevenths that from eye to 
eye. Malar line about equal to base of clypeus. Upper two- 
thirds of face striated vertically; those striae nearest the antennal 
groove curved medially and continuous with transverse striae 
below antennae and also behind ocelli; those nearest the eyes 
continuous with transverse striae on the vertex. Lower third of 
face smooth. Transverse striae arising at either side of clypeus 
and passing backward across the genae and then upward behind 
the eye. Clypeus smooth. Antennae twelve-segmented, ex- 
tending nearly to the metascutellum ; first segment one-half, 
and second segment one-third the length of the third, which is 
one-third as wide as long; fourth three-fourths of third; re- 
maining segments of equal length, about one-half of third. 
Labrum with eight digitiform processes on its anterior border. 
Mandibles long, falciform; the right one with two teeth at the 
inner base, the left with one larger tooth. 
Thorax as long as wide dorsally, coarsely reticulate-rugose.
