SOME NEW WASPS FROM NEW JERSEY. 

 BY S. A. ROHWER. 



Inasmuch as a uew list of the insects of New Jersey is soon 

 to appear, the following descriptions of new species are sub- 

 mitted, so that they may be included: 



Mutilla (sens lat.) daeckei, new species. 



Male. Belongs to group canadensis Fox and is near geryon Fox, 

 but differs from the description of that species in the following manner: 

 Length 8 mm., all the pubescence of the head, dorsulum, and most of the 

 hair of the abdomen black, abdominal segments 2 to 5 not fringed with 

 pale hairs, space between the lateral ocelli more than half the distance 

 from one of them to the inner orbits, punctures of the second ventral 

 segment hardly as well defined as those on the tergum, at any rate not 

 stronger. 



Clypeus broadly, deeply notched at the apex, the lobes truncate; first 

 joint of the flagel narrowing at the base, longer than the pedicel, but 

 shorter than the second joint of the flagel: antennal fovea not shining or 

 carinated; antennal tubercles large, oval in outline; lateral ocelli hooded 

 inwardly; tegukc with large punctures; scutel strongly margined later- 

 ally, the lateral faces concave and polished; metanotum reticulate ; 

 metapleurae anteriorly smooth, polished ; tibiae not spined; first cubital 

 cell narrow, much broader than long, first transverse cubital bent basally 

 below; inner surface of the posterior femora smooth, highly polished, 

 without hairs. Entirely black, hair of the pleurae and tibiae white, the 

 rest of the hair black or black with gray hairs intermingled. 



Type locality: Lucaston, New Jersey, August 27, 1905. 

 Other localities: Bamber, New Jersey, September 1, 1905. 

 Both collected by V. A. E. Daecke. 



Type: No. 12912, U. S. National Museum. 



Mutilla (sens lat.) vierecki, new species. 



Female, Belongs to group occidentalis Fox and belongs between the 

 numbers -L' and 27 of his table of the females. Length about 10.5 mm. 

 Eyes very high up on the head ; antennal fovea sharply defined above : 

 head and entire thorax with large punctures ; in some parts these punc- 

 tures are confluent so as to appear reticulate; scape curved apically ; 

 first joint of the flagel not quite as long as the two following; thorax 

 narrowed posteriorly; no ventral carina on the first abdominal segment; 

 first segment sessile with second, the basal part smooth, the apical half 

 punctate; second dorsal segment with close, rather small punctures 

 which in some places are confluent so as to appear striated ; ventrally the 

 punctures are larger and well separated : py<*idium with nearly complete 

 longitudinal striae, the extreme apex finely granular; legs with sparse,
