" This is a black fly, varyina; considerably in size, the female sometimes measuring but ^, at others fully ^ inch exclusive of ovipositor ; the male somewhat smaller. The genus Pimpla was briefly characterized in my last report, p. 43, where it was shown that this same species attacks the walnut care bearer (Acrolxrsis juijlawUs, LeB). I annex a lateral outline of a female Pimpla, Pig. 38, the male has a more slender abdomen which is unarmed.

I annex a lateral outline of a female Pimpla, Pig. 38, the male has a more slender abdomen which is unarmed. " Pimpla is black : the abdomen rough punctured above, with the borders of the joints polished and inclined to brown. The teguUtf are white, and the legs are reddish, with the exception of the middle and hind tibiaj, which arc dusky—especially the hind pair—and have a broad white annulus, sometimes indistinct on the middle pair. The posterior tarsi are dusky, especially at tip. The palpi are pale yellow. Cresson says it may be distinguished from the other species of the genus, by the scutellum being black, the tegulae white, aud the anterior coxae yellowish red. " This fly eats its way through the chrysalis and the cocoon of the Codling Moth, with- out having previously made any cocoon of its own. It was quite abundant last .summer as from one lot of Carpocapsa cocoons, I obtained 21 parasites—all of them females but one. It is a widely distributed and common species. The second parasite may be called the " Delicate Long-sting {Macrocenlrus delicatus, Cres). " It has recently been described by Mr. E. T. Cresson {Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. iv., p. 178), and is a somewhat variable species, occurring throughout the Eastern, Middle and Western, States, and in Mexico. I subjoin a description drawn up from my bred specimens. ".Male.
