Extract

During the past few years officers of the Forest Insect Unit of the Division of Entomology have reared a number of specimens of a species of Olesicampe from sawflies of the genus Pikonema. The species differs from any of the named forms of the Canadian National Collection, or in the United States National Museum, according to Mr. R. A. Cushman, to whom I sent specimens, and as far as I can discover there is no name in the literature which would apply to it. The following description is therefore offered.

Olesicampe and Holocremnus eventually may be synonymized. Pending such action, it is preferred to describe the present species in Olesicampe, with which it is, moreover, in closer agreement than with the Viereck designated genotype of Holocremnus.
