siderahly smaller tliaii the facets of the eyes, giving tlie surface a dull lustre; 

 mandibles blunt, rufous; edge of clypeus somewhat sinuate; antennae black, first 

 joint of flagelluni clavate, longer than usual ; head prolonged behind the eyes, 

 abruptly narrowed, margin reflexed. Neck long, rufous, closely transverse- 

 striate. Prothorax, including propleura, rufous, with an acute tooth on each 

 side of the lateral anterior angles; the entire thorax and propodeum covered 

 with coarse reticulations, interstices about the size of the ocelli ; on the meso- 

 thoracic lobe these become somewhat confluent. Wings stained dusky yellow, 

 without violaceous reflection or very marked irridescence; nervures and .stigma 

 dark. Coxse and entire legs rufous, except the posterior tarsi ; club of tibiie and 

 spot on outside of posterior femora at apex black. Propodeum rufous. Abdo- 

 men silky, moderately compressed; first segment rufous, with a black medial 

 spot near the apex ; .second black, with a rufous spot on each side at the apex ; 

 third black, with a smaller rufous spot; remainder black. Borer red; sheaths 

 black, tipped with white. 



-^ .—Similar to the J, but with the propleurse and sides of the propodeum 

 less entirely red. Second segment of flagelluni short. 



A paratype from Havana, Cuba (C. F. Baker), differ?^ from the 

 type in having entire pleurse, border.s of median lobe of mesonotnm 

 and the propodeum red. 



Thi.s species is very distinct from any other tliat I know by the 

 coarse reticulation on the thorax. It most nearly approaches pat- 

 tersonce Melander and Brues. 



Fwnus cressoni n. sp. 



5 .—Head black; face very sparingly dotted with i)Uiictures much finer than 

 the facets of the eyes, slightly pubescent; mandibles acute, rufous, tip darker, 

 shining, punctate, especially toward the base; clypeus broadly emarginate, 

 somewhat sinuate ; occiput finely transverse-.striate, not interrupted and fairly 

 regular, antenna} black, first segment of the flagellum scarcely clavate; head 

 rather short behind the eyes, hind margin acute. Neck of medium length, 

 transver-sely wrinkled, with large interstices between the wrinkles. Thorax 

 black; prothorax with an acute tooth on the lateral margin; medial mesothoracic 

 lobe rather finely and closely tranverse-striate, with a few scattered punctures; 

 sides of the thorax reticulate to rugulose, very slightly silvery sericeous: propo- 

 deum reticulate, black. Wings stained yellowish, without violaceous reflection 

 or much irridescence ; veins and stigma dark. Legs black ; ring of white at ba.se 

 of posterior tibite and tarsi, on the tibite broadened in front; posterior coxse very 

 finely transverse-striolate. Abdon. lull silky black, abruptly truncate at apex, 

 not greatly compressed ; two ferrug. us spots on each side near the middle sub- 

 confluent beneath. 



-^ . — Similar to female; segments of antennai as in female, the second joint of 

 flagellum twice longer than fi!-,t. A little more robust than the female. 



A robust species. Three specimens. The front legs sometimes 

 reddish. 



Hab. — Vancouver, Canada, Massachusetts.
