This genus was founded by Cresson upon G. anguina, from New Jersey and New 

 York, a second species from Mexico being subsequently added by the same author ; I 

 am now able to add yet another from Mexico. Cresson (op. cit. p. 399) states that both 

 sexes of G. anguina were reared from a raspberry-stem, together with a small species 

 of Crabro.

 Long. 20 millim. ; terebra 9 millim. 



Hab. Mexico, Presidio (Forrer). 



Smooth, shining, impunctate. Head and thorax for the greater part yellow. Antennae 

 stout, almost thickened towards the apex, nearly glabrous. There is a small elongated 

 area at the base of the metanotum in the centre, and from it a line runs to join a 

 longitudinal keel on the inner side of the spiracles ; on the outer side of the spiracles is 

 another keel. The spiracles on the metathorax are long, curved, narrow. There is a 

 black line running on the top of the petiole to beyond the middle, and another, but 

 shorter one, on each side. The four front legs are almost entirely yellow. The 

 fascia in the fore wings is small, and situated at the apex, partly in the radial and 

 partly in the cubital cellule.
