third longer than pronotum. Hind femora slender, the lower sulcus deep, 

 narrow, armed in both sexes on outer margin with 5 to 9 short, subequal, 

 unevenly spaced teeth, on inner margin with 7 to 12 still smaller ones, 

 those of female very minute. Hind tibia? scarcely longer than femora, 

 their marginal spines short, stout; inner median spur shorter than meta- 

 tarsus; terminal spurs of hind tarsus less than half the length of fourth 

 segment. Male with ninth dorsal entire, feebly prolonged and upturned, 

 its margin rounded; supra-anal with broad corneous deeply emarginate 

 base, the membranous portion within the notch forming a concave disk, 

 with lower apical portion compressed and projected back between the very 

 large, incurved, spatulate infracercal or podigal plates. Subgenital plate 

 as in d of key and PL VI, c. Ovipositor as in key and PI. VII, I. Length

 This species is very distinct from all others in the form of the 

 supra-anal plate of male, and especially in the slender, blunt- 

 pointed ovipositor, the inner valves of which are often covered 

 with a membrane, their armature then appearing as four very 

 low, wide humps or convexities, the basal one scarcely evident 

 (PI. VII, 7.) The Bee Spring, Ky., male type in the Scudder col- 

 lection, so fixed by R. & H. (1912b, 70), as well as the specimens 

 in the Lexington collection are immature and not distinctive of 

 the species as above described. The type, in fact, appears more 

 like a male of C. ~breclpes, than one of tencbraruni. The known 

 range of this species extends from Port Byron, 111. (female allo- 

 type) east to Kentucky and central Ohio and south to Beaufort 

 and Rabun Co., Ga.

Size small for the genus; form slender. Dark reddish or dusky brown; 

 thoracic segments usually in great part fuscous, their lateral lobes with a 

 few small yellow spots, and dorsum of pronotum with an indistinct narrow 

 pale stripe; hind femora dusky brown or fuscous above, dull yellow be- 

 neath, all the tibiae dull yellow; hind margin of each abdominal segment 

 dusky; sides of abdomen with a few faint yellowish spots. Vertex ending 

 in a blunt compressed cone. Fore and middle femora subequal in size and 

 length, about one-fifth longer than pronotum. Hind femora about five- 

 sixths the length of body, those of male armed beneath on outer lower carina 

 with eight to ten very short, blunt, unevenly spaced teeth; on inner one 

 with six to eight more slender, sharper ones; wholly unarmed in female. 

 Last dorsal of male entire, not prolonged; supra-anal tongue-shaped, 

 deeply grooved along the middle; subgenital and infracercal plates as de- 

 scribed in key. Ovipositor as in key and PI. VII, m, the terminal hook 

 slender, strongly decurved. Length of body, $, 14 16, 9. 13 15; of pro- 

 notum, 4.5 5; of hind femora, 12.5 13.5; of ovipositor, 7 mm.
