Bracon concolor (♂︎♂︎ & ♀︎♀︎) 12:
B. cf. bipartitus Wesm.  ♀︎, black & yellow abd., very nice:  ant. 28. terebra about 3/4 abd., tergite 2 sharply emarginate in centre at apica & so cannot be a var. of variator!  AWS. 8.4.44 - labelled 8.4.44!
B. undulatus miki?  small, black ♀︎, ant. 28.
B. "concolor Thoms."  1♂︎ (ant. 27), 1♀︎ (ant. 21)
B. sp.?  a minute ♂︎, with 22-seg. ant., granular head & mesonotum like the last, but entirely smooth abdomen.

Apanteles  5 = 
A. pallipes  ♂︎.
A. sp.?  ♀︎
A. sp. n.? near ruficrus, but with all coxae black:  hind coxae heavily granulated;  also scutellum & lower half of pleura, &c.:  a very distinct species!  1♂︎, 2♀︎♀︎.

Orgilus obscurator  1 small ♀︎, ant. 28.
Perilitus aethiops?  (♂︎♂︎ & ♀︎♀︎) 8.  2♂︎♂︎, 2♀︎♀︎ mounted, with 27 & 22-segmented antennae respectively.
Meteorus cf atrator??  ♂︎, large, black, 33-seg. ant.
M. leviventris  ♀︎, small, ant. 25.
Macrocentrus collaris  ♀︎, ant. 34;  redish var.

Opius [[strikethrough]] communis [[/strikethrough]] ? (♂︎♂︎ & ♀︎♀︎) 6.  Only 2 (♂︎♂︎) mounted & these are certainly not typical communis as the apex of tibia & all hind tarsi are nearly black;  antennae 23 & 25;  also tergite 1 is practically smooth.  Therefore I am tentatively putting them with levis Wesm. (cf. filiformis Th.);  coxae dark.  AWS. 26.2.45.

Alysia manducator  ♀︎
Phaenocarpa ruficeps  ♀︎.
[No Aspilota!]
