1924] A New Species of Schizaspidia {Eucharidce) 
51 
Hind wing with vein extending to hooks, which are four in num- 
ber, and with a fringe of cilia on the posterior border. Tibial 
spurs simple. 
Gaster nearly twice as long as broad dorsally. Petiole less 
than one-half the length of the gaster, almost as long as the hind 
femur (13:14), and extending from the base of the propodeum to 
the lower margin of the gaster. First gastric segment partly 
inclosing the two following segments. Ovipositor without 
barbs, exposed for one sixth of the length of the gaster. 
Head and thorax aeneous, except antennae and mandibles 
which are fulvous with fuscous inner borders. Legs fulvous, 
except dark brown metacoxae. Abdomen dark brown with these 
exceptions: dorsal spot on pedicel and most of first segment of 
gaster fuscous, rest of pedicel fulvous. 
Length: 3.5 mm. Host. — Polyrhachis (Myrmhopla) dives 
F. Smith. 
Type Locality. — Manila, Philippine Islands. Described 
from two mature female pupae found in cocoons of the host col- 
lected by McGregor. The ants are from Professor W. M. 
Wheeler’s collection. 
This species is near S. teniiicornis Ashmead, but is readily 
distinguishable from it by the pit on the metanotum. Mr. A. B. 
Gahan has very kindly compared a specimen with Ashmead’s 
types in the United States National Museum. 
The head of the parasitic pupa was at the anterior pole of 
the host cocoon, and its brilliant vermilion eyes were readily 
visible through the silken walls of the latter. The host pupa 
(phthisergate) had been almost completely drained of its con- 
tents, scarcely more than the exoskeleton remaining; this was 
pressed against the venter of the parasite. 
This is the fourteenth species of Schizaspidia to be des- 
cribed, but only the third host record. ^ Mr. Curtis P. Clausen 
(1923) has recently shown what an interesting field of investiga- 
tion the biology of this widely distributed genus affords. All the 
Eucharidse, for that matter, probably have the same possibilities.
