The female organs of Aphidius phorodontis Ash. and Ephedrus incompletus Prov. were examined and found to be similar. As those of the second species were examined in freshly killed material, the following description is based on Ephedrus rather than Aphidius which was represented only by specimens in alcohol. The eggs are packed very closely in the two ovaries. The extremities of the ovariolcs are coiled in the fatty tissue about the stomach. The end is thickened, but soon narrows down.
