scarcely beyond the end of the proximal fourth of the tibia, about as 

 long as the tibial depth, set at an angle of about 50° with the tibia and 

 divaricating about 90°, faintly incurved ; inner middle calcaria much 

 longer than the outer, nearly tvpice as long as the others or as the 

 spurs, but much shorter than the first joint of the tarsus. Hind 

 tarsi not much less than half as long as the tibia;, the first joint almost 

 as long as the rest together, the second twice as long as the third and 

 with it as long as the fourth. Cerci very short and not very slender. 

 Ovipositor about a fifth longer than the fore femora, straight, not 

 stout and delicately tapering in basal half, the tip upturned and very 

 acuminate, the teeth of the inner valves aculeate, straight.

I S,\ 9. Tyrone, Ky., April 23 (S. Garman). 



The single 9 has but one hind leg, and this has been attached 

 after breaking off. As the leg seems to be abnormally different from 

 that of the Si it is quite possible that it does not belong to this 

 specimen, and that the characters given above drawn from it should 

 be eliminated. 



25. Ceuthophilus fusiformis, sp. nov. 



Body testaceous almost wholly overlaid with black above, the 

 abdomen wholly, the meso- and metanotum all but an anterior mesial 

 spot, and the pronotum to such a degree that the testaceous is confined 

 to a large equilateral triangular patch on each side, the inferior mar- 

 gins for their base and a couple of small mesial jjatches, the larger 

 behind ; the lower half of the sides throughout, however, is pallid 

 testaceous ; the legs are testaceous and uniform except for rather faint 

 fuscous scalariform markings on the hind femora. The antennee are 

 slender and about three times as long as the very compact body, and 

 the legs short and not very slender. Fore femora distinctly stouter 

 than the middle femora, somewliat less than half as long as the hind 

 femora and but little longer than the pronotum, the inner carina 

 armed only with a strong subapical spine. Middle femora armed with 

 2-3 spines on the front carina, the distal scarcely or no longer than 

 the others, and on the hind carina 2-3 spines besides a moderate 

 genicular spine. Hind femora as long as the body, a little more than 

 twice as long as the fore femora, very stout, the subequal apical por- 

 tion not over one seventh of the whole, which is three times as long as
