well in front of posterior margins of eyes; occiput margined; 
face flat above with a curved ridge connecting the antennal 
foramina; clypeus slightly concave; antennse nearly as long as 
body, slightly thickened beyond middle and very attenuate toward 
apex, the annulus beginning on flagellar joint 6 and including 
more or less of nine to eleven joints, interrupted below on all 
but a few joints; thorax and propodeum opaque, the sculpture 
rather fine; epomia strong; prepectus complete, extending dor- 
sally about half the posterior length of the pronotum; propo- 
deum completely areolated basally and with the petiolar area 
distinct, but the carinz defining the middle and posterior lateral 
and pleural areas obsolete or lacking; wings reaching nearly or 
quite to apex of abdomen; legs, especially posterior, long, hind 
femur reaching nearly to apex of abdomen; longer calecarium of 
hind tibia reaching nearly or quite to middle of basitarsus ; ab- 
domen about as long as head and thorax, scarcely as broad as 
thorax, polished except second tergite and base of third; first 
tergite distinctly bent, postpetiole distinctly separated; spiracles 
rather prominent, oval. 
Caenojoppa Cameron from the description is very similar in 
many respects and may have to supersede Ashmead’s name. 
Except that in Elasmognathias the propodeum is scarcely. im- 
pressed medially at base and that the abdomen has the eighth 
tergite visible, I would be inclined to synonymize the two genera. 
Key to the species of Elasmognathias. 
1, Propodeum with apophyses obsolete; thorax and propodeum strongly 
sculptured, the sculpture mostly punctuation; postscutellum longi- 
tudinally rugose; prepectus not subemarginate at sternauli, latter 
weak 2. 
Propodeum with apophyses strong; thorax and propodeum weakly sculp- 
tured, the sculpture mostly fine striation; postscutellum not rugose; 
prepectus | subemarginate at sternauli; latter sharply impressed. 
E. dentatus sp. nov. 
2. Spiracular area and metapleurum each with a large yellow spot; scutellar 
carine not especially high as ; 3. 
Spiracular area and metapleurum entirely black; scutellar carine very 
high and laminate basally. E. laminatus sp. nov. 
3. Hind tarsi black at base, the calcaria reddish; scutellum evenly convex. 
E. cephalotes (Ashmead). 
Hind tarsi entirely white, the calcaria black; scutellum distinctly elevated.

Female.—Length, 12 millimeters ; antenne, 12; front wing,
