Psen (Mimesa) coquilletti, new species. 



Related to proximo. Cress., but the distance between the 

 lateral ocelli is greater than the distance between one of them 

 and the nearest eye margin, not equal to it; enclosure has a 

 median furrow; head is not "closely punctured"; and other 

 characters. The species described by Cameron, colorado- 

 cnsis and interstitialis, have the clypeus different, and the 

 male differs from Cameron's description in the metathorax not 

 being reticulate, the tarsi are not tectaceous, etc. 



Female. Length a little over it mm. The sharply defined produced 

 middle portion of the clypeus with low rounded teeth in the middle, front 

 closely punctured, vertex and occiput shining, with widely separate punc- 

 tures; no frontal carina, although a broad depressed line extends back- 

 ward from the anterior ocellus; a depressed area at the side of each lat- 

 eral ocellus; flagel stout, the first joint distinctly longer than the fourth; 

 dorsulum and scutel dull, with widely separate punctures; mesopleura- 

 granular; enclosure not sharply defined, with slightly oblique stria:, a 

 medium furrow extending down the posterior face; metathorax with 

 rather strong striae dorsally on the plurae, the striae are weak; second re- 

 current nervure interstitial with the second transverse cubitus; second 

 cubital narrowed above a little less than half; petiole stout, a little shorter 

 than the hind femora, nearly flat above; pygidium rather broad, with 

 distinct punctures; abdomen elongate. Black; flagel and teguhi- testa- 

 cous; tarsi and part of the tibiae brown; most of abdominal segments 

 two and three dull red. Wings clear hyaline, iridescent: venation dark- 

 brown. Silvery pile rather more abundant than usual. 



Male. What may be the male has the clypeus gently rounded and 

 simple, the dorsulum more shining, and the flagel darker. 



T\pe locality: San Diego County, California, female; males 

 Los Angeles, California (Coquillet); and two males, Southern 

 California, in the Fox collection.
