TWO NEW EMCIID.E. I/ 



Enibia solicri are wingless, so that in this case the character can 

 not apply. None of the specimens of either of the new species 

 show any traces of wings, although those of the Texan spe- 

 cies which were sectioned possess spermatozoa nearly matured. 

 It is interesting to note the distribution of the North Amer- 

 ican genera. The two OlyntJias were taken on nearly the 

 same parallel of latitude, and this is also the case with the two 

 Euibias. 



The types of the two new species are deposited in the Museum 

 of Comparative Zoology, which also contains the material 

 worked over by Dr. Hagen.

OLYXTHA WHEELERI, sp. nov. (Fig. i.) 



Length, 6.5 mm. Body black, very lightly subpruinose, punctulate, 

 subglabrous. Insect sparsely covered with fine pale hairs and slender 

 black bristles scattered on antennas, above eyes, on femora, dense on under 

 surface of four posterior metatarsi, more sparsely on lateral edges of thorax 

 and abdomen, and long on anal appendages. Antenna; somewhat defective, 

 but with twenty joints present, which together are longer than head and 

 thorax ; basal joint stout, cylindrical, second one fourth less in diameter, its 

 length and diameter equal, first and second joints piceous, with no erect 

 black bristles, remaining joints dark fuscous with black radiating bristles, 

 third antennal joint equal to two basals, its sides concave, remaining joints 

 elongate pyriform, thicker beyond middle, fourth shorter, fifth to sixteenth 

 subequal, seventeenth to twentieth a little shorter. Labial palpi rather
