Abstract

Soon after the discovery of the mealy bug Phenacoccus aceris Sig. in the orchards of Nova Scotia in 1932, a parasite of much importance was found attacking this pest. This is a small hymenopterous species described in this issue by Dr. C. F. W. Muesebeck as a new species, Allotropa utilis Mues.
