SIX NEW OTTAWA PROCTOTRYPIDAE

Extract

The following descriptions of species which appear to be additions to our fauna were prepared more than a year ago, but were withheld in the hope that more material might be obtained last season. That hope was, however, not fulfilled; largely, perhaps, be it confessed, through lack of sufficient perseverance on the part of the writer in collecting:

1. Lygocerus pallipes, n. sp.

♀.—Length 1.5—2 mm. Black, finely punctulate and sparsely pubescent. Mandibles and palpi yellowish; antennae balck, except the scape at base and beneath; scape stout, first joint of flagellum about half as long as scape, second as long as pedicel, remaining joints subequal. Legs, including coxae, yellow. Wings subhyaline, stigma large, yellow. Abdomen stout, pointed at tip.
