(p. 308) for placing Ceroptres in the Figitoidce* 
The following new genera are characterized : — 
Anolytus (p. 365). Eyes bare, no malar margin ; antennae in $ 13-, in S 
14-jointed; mesonotum coriaceous, with no parapsidal furrows; scutellar basal 
grooves indistinct or wanting ; sides of mesosternum always smooth ; radial 
cell moderately elongate, open at fore margin, with no second cubital cell ; 
abdomen hairy at base of second segment, third segment very large. Sp. A. 
rujiycs^ sp. n., ibid. 
Zygosis (ibid.). Cheeks margined ; eyes with sparse pubescence ; antennae 
in $ 13-, in J 14-jointed, first joint of funiculus longer than second; thorax 
smooth, mesonotum very highly polished, shining, with continuous parap- 
sidal furrows ; scutellum with two smooth “grooves at the base ; sides of me- 
sosternum shining, finely striate beneath, only divided from the mesosternum 
by a fine furrow ; radial cell closed all round ; second cubital cell with two 
genuine veins, situated almost under the base of the radial, closed beneath 
b}’^ a spurious vein ; second segment of abdomen not hairy at base, smooth. 
Sp. 7j. urticeti (Dahlb., Figites, with which Psilogaster hetet'opterus, Hart., is 
synonymous). 
Ilomonis (p. 3G6). Cheeks margined, eyes pubescent ; antennse in $ 13- 
jointed, joints 4-11 of funiculus scarcely longer than broad ; in d 14-jointed, 
the first joint of funiculus very distinctly curved ; mesonotum with continuous 
parapsidal furrows ; scutellum rugulose ; sides of mesosternum furrowed ; 
radial cell closed on all sides, second cubital cell only defined by spurious veins ; 
second segment of abdomen smooth and bare at the base. Sp. II. ahnormis 
(Gir.). 
PycJinotrichia (ibid.). Eyes with sparse pubescence, cheeks and temples 
margined; antennajin $ 13-, in d 14-jointed, joints of funiculus cylindrical, 
longer than broad; mesonotum with continuous parapsidal furrows; scu- 
tellum rugulose, with two grooves at the base ; sides of mesosternum strjated 
beneath, and not divided from mesosternum by a sharp ridge ; wings thickly 
pubescent, the radial cell elongate, closed on all sides, second cubital cell 
only defined by spurious veins ; second segment of abdomen smooth and 
bare at the base. 8pp. : P. erythropa, sp.n., ibid., Aix ; {Figites) validicmmis 
(Thoms.) and Icemgatm (Reinh., with which urticarum, Thoms., is synony- 
mous). 
Trischiza (p. 367). Eyes bare, cheeks margined ; antennae filiform, the first 
and second joints of funiculus equal in length; parapsidal funows distinct; 
scutellum rugulose, smooth at the base, with two grooves; sides of mesosternum 
smooth, radial cell open at the fore margin, base, and apex ; a second cubital 
cell not defined ; base of second segment of abdomen bare and smooth. Sp. 
T. agarieolarum (Dahlb., Figites). 
Van VoLLENHOVEN, Tijdschr, voor Entom. 2<Jeserie, deel iv. p. 117, refers 
lhalia to the Evaniidoi, but no reason is assigned. 
S»iiTH (Ent. Monthly Mag. v. p. 298) records the very interesting fact of 
the discovery of a male Cynips (sensu str.). Both sexes of C. acicidata 
(Osten-Sacken), reared from galls on the black oak {Quercus spongifica), in 
America, were communicated to Smith by Darwin. Walsh has observed 
that the males are obtained from galls which hatch early in the season,
