18 HTMENOPTEEA. 



SELANDKIA. 



Selandria, Leach, Zool. Misc. iii. p. 126 (1817) ; Hart. Blatfcw. p. 263 (1837). 



Twenty-five species are referred by Kirby (List of Hymenoptera, p. 187) to this 

 genus — fourteen from Europe, two from North America, three from Brazil, and six from 

 Mexico ; but two of these latter I have transferred to Strongylogaster *. 



1. Selandria luteola. 



Nigra, abdomine pedibusque rufo-luteis, ore albido, coxis, trochanteribus, femoribus basi, tibiarum posticarum 



apice tarsisque nigris ; alis fumatis, costa et stigmate fuscis. 

 Long. 4-5 millim. 



Eab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 



The antennae are stout, as long as the abdomen, the third joint is much longer than 

 the fourth ; the eyes converge on the lower side in front, and reach to the base of the 

 mandibles ; the frontal area is obsolete, the antennae are widely separated, the lateral 

 sutures on the vertex wide, but not deep ; the antennal fovea? round, large ; clypeus 

 hairy, transverse, palpi white ; the head retreats behind the eyes. The first transverse 

 cubital nervure is subobsolete ; the second cubital cellule is a very little longer than 

 the third, which is longer than the fourth ; the first recurrent nervure is received a 

 little in front of the middle of cellule ; the transverse median nervure is received a 

 little in front of the apical third of cellule ; the transverse radial nervure is largely 

 bullated in the middle. The apex of coxae is testaceous ; the black on the femora 

 reaches almost to the middle ; behind the tibiae are more or less fuscous ; the anal 

 appendages are black, pilose,
