almost im])unctatc; front moderately closely and coarsely punctate, vertex 

 more sparingly punctate. 



Mesonotum evenly but sparsely punctured; epicnemia and mesosternum 

 separated from mesopleura by a sharp ridge; the latter sparingly punctured, 

 with a nearly obsolete oblique dividing groove; scutellum and postscutellum 

 shining, with a few punctures; dorsal triangular area of propodeum distinct 

 and striate; just above the petiole is a longitudinal carina, on each side of 

 which there are, in the holotype and some specimens, transverse carinulae; 

 rest of posterior lateral surfaces punctate. 



First dorsal segment polished and almost impunctate, remaining segments 

 sparsely, toward the apex more closely, the last quite closely, punctate; 

 second segment slightly constricted at base, the first not coarctate; second 

 ventral segment convex but not very i)rominent. 



Habitat. — California: Lemon Cove, Tulare County, July 9 to

 University]. Nevada: one male, [American Entomological So- 

 ciety]. 



Types. — Holotype and paratopotypes, males, Cornell University 

 no. 141.1 to 141.5; paratype, d^, from Nevada, in Coll. Amer. Ent. 

 Soc. 



This species is closel}' allied to hamatus and to microcephalus. 

 From the former it is easily distinguished by the clypeus, which 

 in hantatus is very prominent, and abruptly angled along a trans- 

 verse line before the apex, while the bunch of curved hair on 

 the angles is more prominent.
