. Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. Zoology; Zoology. BRUES: PARASITIC BYMENOPTERA. 79 One specimen, No. A5S, collected by Mr. S. A. Rohwer at Station 14. Type in the Amer. Mils. Nat. Hist. This is a very typical species of Limnerium in all respects and appears to be a close relative of some living forms. Limnerium consuetum, sp. nov. (Fig. 59.) Female. Length 5 mm. Dark colored, reddish on the abdomen below from the third segment to the tip; legs yellowish, the posterior pair darker. An- tennae rather short, slender, particularly near the base of the flagellum.

Type in the Amer. Mils. Nat. Hist. This is a very typical species of Limnerium in all respects and appears to be a close relative of some living forms. Limnerium consuetum, sp. nov. (Fig. 59.) Female. Length 5 mm. Dark colored, reddish on the abdomen below from the third segment to the tip; legs yellowish, the posterior pair darker. An- tennae rather short, slender, particularly near the base of the flagellum. The number of joints is not plain, but there are apparently fewer than in the other species here described. Surface of thorax roughly shagreened or punctu- late, the metanotum arcuately rounded behind and not completely areolated although the pleural areas are strongly marked and the lateral ones indistinctly sepa- rated. Abdomen slender at the base, but strongly com- pressed apically, its surface coriaceous. Petiole as long as the entire slope of the metathorax, slender at the base and clavately thickened apically; second segment very long, a little longer than the first; third shorter, but still a little longer than its height at the tip. Following segments strongly com- pressed. Ovipositor issuing from the base of the sixth segment, as long as the abdomen exclusive of the first three segments. Wings hyaline; stigma dark brown and veins pale brown; stigma rather slender, two-fifths as wide as the marginal cell which is somewhat broader than in the other species. Areolet triangular, large, its upper point touching the radius; second section of the radius about twice as long as the first. Median and submedian cells of approximately equal length. One specimen, No. A112, collected at Station 14 and sent by Pro- fessor Cockerell. Type in the Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. This is a typical species of the Fig. 59.— Limnerium consuetum, sp. nov. Type.
