inches vertically, and then laterally about four inches. The female is the 

 insect which I described as 9 lafiosn, and thus Mr. Fox's reference of it 

 to HoffmaiiseggicB is confirmed. 



Panurginus Forterte, n. sp. 



$. — Length about 7^ mm., black; head and thorax with fairly 

 long, thin whitish pubescence; head transversely suboval; clypeus, except 

 the two black dots, and lateral face marks, lemon yellow ; face below 

 antennae without any conspicuous hair ; labrum, mandibles, anterior edge 

 and receding lateral pieces of clypeus (which are hairy) all dark ; lateral 

 face-marks triangular, their upper limit barely above the level of the upper 

 edge of the clypeus ; antennae entirely black ; front above antennae 

 cancellate with large punctures ; vertex with large punctures, a smooth 

 impunctate area on each side; thorax entirely black; mesothorax and 

 scutellum shining, with well-separated large punctures ; legs black, tarsi 

 very dark brown ; tegulfe dark brown ; wings slightly smoky ; nervures 

 and stigma piceous ; abdomen rather long and narrow, punctured except 

 the broad hind margins of the segments ; apex with two sharp points.

From the description, I thought this might very well be a variety of 

 P. picipes (Cress.), but Mr. W. J. Fox has kindly sent me a drawing of 

 the face-marks of Cresson's type $ of picipes, and it is evidently a 

 different species. \n picipes the lateral face-mark is a small band along 

 the orbital margin, running considerably above the level of the top of the 

 clypeus, and not at all triangular. In my table in Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 

 XXV., p. 196, the S oi Porterce rims io picipes. From P. innuptus the 

 1^ is easily known by the triangular lateral face-marks (those of itmuptus 

 resemble those oi picipes) and the dark stigma ; the $ differs from that of 

 intiuptus by the dark stigma and nervures, the much darker tegular, the 

 larger punctures of the mesothorax, the first abdominal segment much 

 more sparsely punctured at the sides, and the black tarsi.
