This species was associated with Dasyneura Tf hodo- 
phaga Cog., though from the habits of allied species it was 
evidently preying upon rose aphids. A study of type material 
enabled us to establish the correct generic position of the species. 
Male. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae twice the length of the body, 
thickly haired, brown; 14 segments, the fifth with stems three and 
three and one-half times their diameter; terminal segment with the

the latter with a length five times its diameter, broadly constricted 
near the basal third and apically with a long, fingerlike process.

on Siphonophora lir ;odendri Mon. at Washington, 
D. C. The eggs hatched July 4, 1895, the larvae pupated July 7th
