11(3 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



tibial spurs white ; head and sides of thorax sparsely clothed with silvery- 

 sericeous pile. Length, 6 mm. 



So. Florida (C/uis. Robertson). Distinct from our only other known 

 species, fcra/is, by the longer antenna? and hind tibial spurs, and by the 

 white calcaria. 



GORYTES DENTATUS. 



<£ . — Head not as broad as the thorax ; ocellar region slightly raised, 

 the ocelli forming a very low triangle ; front with large, shallow, scattered 

 punctures, the longitudinal impressed line strong ; inner eye-margins 

 slightly though distinctly converging towards the clypeus ; scape but 

 little if anything longer than the clypeus, is long in the middle, third 

 antennal joint distinctly longer than any of the following, except the last, 

 to which it is about equal ; joints 10-12 emarginate beneath, the twelfth 

 joint but slightly so ; clypeus convex, with a few scattered, indistinct 

 punctures, its anterior margin distinctly incurved. Thorax with strong, 

 separated punctures, sparsest on the scutellum ; in addition to the carina 

 which runs from each shoulder tubercle around the fore edge of meso- 

 sternum, there is behind it a transverse carina or ridge, which terminates 

 in a stout tooth at the extreme side ; enclosed space on metanotum well- 

 marked, triangular, its sides somewhat incurved, on the basal portion it is 

 longitudinally strongly striated, while on the apical narrow portion it is 

 transversely striated, at the apex of the enclosure there is a strong pit ; four 

 posterior tibiae and tarsi tolerably well furnished with spines ; wings hyaline, 

 a fuscous cloud completely fills the marginal, second'and third submar- 

 ginal, and the apical portion of the third discoidal cells ; there is also a 

 slight spot at apex of median and sub-median cells, stigma and costal 

 nervure fulvous, the other nervures black. Abdomen with tolerably strong, 

 separated punctures, strongest and more scattered ventrally, first segment 

 at apex nearly as wide as the second, sessile with it, the second segment 

 transversely swollen near the base, so that when viewed from the side the 

 first and second segments are separated by a deep suture. Entirely bright 

 ferruginous ; tips of mandibles black ; clypeus, front and face on sides, 

 scape beneath, transverse line on collar, shoulder tubercles, anterior por- 

 tion of mesopleurse, scutellum, a spot on four anterior tibia? in front, first 

 joint of medial tarsi at base, and apical margins of dorsal abdominal 

 segments 1-3, pale yellow ; the fascia on segments 2 and 3 narrowest
