Georgia (Smith). Unknown to me. This differs only from bi- 

 partitus, apparently, by the suture between dorsulum and scutelluni 

 being smooth, not foveolate. It is very likely, however, as sug- 

 gested by Handlirsch, that Smith's statement is erroneous. 



53. Gorytes rufomaculatus n. sp. 



9 . — Eyes strongly converging toward the clypeus, somewhat less 

 so than in bipartitus, however ; front with large punctures, strongly 

 impressed down the middle; clypeus convex, strongly punctured, 

 about one-quarter broader than long, subemarginate in middle of 

 anterior margin ; antennae shorter than in bipartitus, the flagellum 

 subclavate ; thorax smooth, impunctate ; mesosternum distinctly 

 carinated; suture between dorsulum and scutelluni foveolate; en- 

 closure of middle segment broad and short, well marked and 

 divided by a longitudinal furrow ; suture between metapleurae and 

 middle segment not foveolate; legs robust, tibiae and tarsi spinose ; 

 wings clear, except the marginal cell, nervures testaceous, stigma 

 yellow, subniedian cell of hind wings terminating much beyond the 

 origin of the cubital vein; abdomen short and broad, first segment 

 impunctate, the following segments distinctly punctured, pygidial 

 area rather long, coarsely punctured and distinctly margined later- 

 ally. Black ; hase of clypeus, inner orbits, line on pronotum, 

 tubercles, spot behind them, scutelluni except base, and a fascia at 

 apex of dorsal segments 1-3, yellow; antennae, legs, large spot on 

 each side of middle segment, small spot on dorsulum at wings, tegulse 

 and the first ahdominal segment at the sides, rufous. Length 

 9-10 mm. 



$ . — Colored like the 9 > but the clypeus entirely, a fascia on 

 abdominal segments 4 and 5, and the fore tarsi, yellow; clypeus 

 nearly as long as broad; antennae shorter than in bipartitus, flagellum
