 coarse wrinkles. Length 10-14 mm. Ovipositor 10.5-13 mm. 



9. — Head black, very minutely punctulate, somewhat shiny on top, slightly 

 silvery-sericeous between the eyes and antennte, mandibles testaceous, tipped 

 with rufous; margin of clypeus sinuate, emarginate in centre; head behind eyes 

 narrowed, margin not rellexed ; antenna- pubescent toward apes, from about the 

 third segment of fiagellum ; this short clavate. Thorax black, laterally silvery- 

 sericeous; dorsum coarsely reticulate or transverse-wrinkled, with large punc- 

 tures between and small ones on the wrinkles or meshes; propodeum coarsely 

 reticulate. Wings hyaline, irridescent. without violaceous reflection; veins 

 pale. Four anterior legs entirely testaceous, including coxse ; posterior cosse 

 black, finely transverse-wrinkled ; femora reddish-brown; tibise white at base, 

 especially anteriorly, club brown; tarsi white, apex brown. Abdomen silky, 

 black, two or three .segments tipped with a ferruginous lateral spot. Borer red,

If this proves to be identical with bariutoni of Westwood, that 

 uame will replace tarsatorius Say.

F<Bun»» fVagilis nov. spec. 



Very frail and slender, abdomen brown to black, with ferruginous spots, legs 

 dark brown, wrinkles on the dorsum subohsolete medially, dwindling into punc- 

 tures. Length 11 mm. Ovipositor 9-13 mm. 



9 .— Head black ; face clothed laterally and on the border of the clypeus wiili 

 silvery sericeous pubescence; face sparingly, vertex more closely covered with 

 punctures the size of the facets of the eyes; the mandibles are rufous, the apical 

 tooth small, blunt, and the apex, which is also somewhat blunt, is not prolonged 

 beyond it, very slightly punctured; clypeus sinuate laterally, very broadly 

 emarginate medially; its articulation with the face and an area beneath the 

 antennse well defined ; occiput with a tendency toward fine transver.se wrinkles, 

 cheeks narrowed behind the eyes, posterior edge acute; first joint of the fiagel- 

 lum short, clavate, together with the second longer than the third by about half 

 the length of the first. Neck long, broad at base and tapering strongly at the 

 apex ; strongly sculptured with transverse wrinkles, irregular, and rather widely 

 separated. Prothorax similarly sculptured ; on the lobe of the mesothorax the 

 sculpture is similar but more regular toward the sides and the rear, in the middle 

 anteriorly the wrinkles become subobsolete, dwindling into mere punctures; 

 propodeum coarsely reticulate; sides of thorax silvery sericeous; prothorax with 

 a well-marked acute tooth on the anterior margin. Wings hyaline, irridescent, 

 without the beautiful violaceous reflection found in some of the other species,
