. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. ICHNEUMON-FLIES OF AMERICA: 1. METOPIINAE 75 and dorsal spots on hind coxa, trochanters except for base of first hind trochanter, usually front of front femur, sometimes front of middle femur, base and broader apex of all femora, front and middle tibiae and tarsi, hind tibia except for hind face which is brown (broader apically) and usually a brown subapical mark on front face, apical of first tergite, second and following tergites apically and laterally, and male genitalia, yellow; flagellum basally brown beneath; hind tarsus light brown, the basitarsus largely yellowish; wings tinged with brown, the front half of front wing darker. The yellow on abdominal tergites 2 to 7 includes the apical to and the sides (narrowly to broadly) except for the basal lateral oblique impressions, which are black. The basocentral black area on the tergites varies from a rectangular shape with somewhat concave sides (usually in males) to a U-shaped or V-shaped area, in all cases making a pattern unique among the Nearctic species of Metopius, but somewhat like that in M. errantius californicus. A single male from Indian Flat, Mariposa Co., Calif., has the yellow markings unusually extensive, including all of the front and middle legs except for the extreme base of coxae and entire front face of hind femur. Type: 9, 4 miles west of Quincy, Calif., June 22, 1949, A. S. Deal (Washington, USNM 63617). Paratypes: 12 c?, 219, from California (Arroyo Seco Camp in Mon- terey Co., Blocksburg, Carrville at 2,400 to 2,500 ft., Comanche Creek Canyon in Yolo Co., Dunsmuir, Fort Seward, Herkey Creek in the San Jacinto Mts., Indian Flat in Mariposa Co., Keen Camp in the San Jacinto Mts., Lower Lake in Lake Co., 4 miles west of Quincy, Samuel Spring in Napa Co., Sierraville, near Stanford. \ii Q s J> ^/^TH r— * / J_OfV 7 /^L___f \ *\ L \ \/Jt t- r~/' VU 1 V , \ \-4 y\ Figures 48, 49.—Localities: (left), Metopius {Metopius) galban
