54 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



L. Harrington^ agreeing with it in color, wing characters, etc., but it is 

 much larger, the antennae much more incrassated toward apex, the ter- 

 minal joint being very large and thick, and as long as the three preceding 

 joints combined ; these four terminal joints, which constitute the club, are 

 as usual slightly pedicellate. Another character which will readily dis- 

 tinguish it from all other species is a short conical spine in the centre of 

 the metathorax. 



Described from one specimen. 



(17) Loxotropa abrupt a Thompson. 



This European species must now be added to our fauna, Mr. Harring- 

 ton having taken a specimen in Canada which I am unable to separate 

 from types from Europe in my collection. 



Monelata Forster. 



(18) Monelata hirticollis, n. sp. 



Stature and size of M. mcllicollis Ashm., but differs in being entirely 

 black ; the collar, metathorax and petiole densely pubescent ; antennae 

 dark red, the very large terminal joint nearly black, while the legs are 

 reddish-yellow. Wings hyaline, ciliate. 



Described from one specimen. 



Sub-family Belytin;E. 

 Zygota Forster. 



(19) Zygota Americana, n. sp. 



Female. Length .14 inch. Polished black, covered with a fulvous 

 pubescence. Antennae 15-jointed, filiform-moniliform ; first funiclar joint 

 twice longer than the pedicel, other joints almost round, sub- pedicellate. 

 Parapsidal grooves of mesonotum broad, distinct. Scutellum with a deep 

 depression at base. Metathorax carinated. Legs, including all coxae, 

 honey-yellow ; first tarsal joint of anterior legs long, deeply emarginate at 

 base. Abdomen ovate, black, a lateral streak on the apex of sixth seg- 

 ment red ; venter densely pubescent ; petiole twice as long as wide, fluted. 

 Wings fusco-hyaline, pubescent ; veins brown, the marginal cell not quite 



closed. 



Male. Length .12 inch. This may be distinguished from the female 

 principally by the antennae. They are 14-jointed, long, filiform, pubes- 

 cent, pedicel rounded, the first funiclar joint about five times as long as 

 thick, excised at base, the following joints about four times as long as
