122 FAMILY EVANIIDiE. 



Paininegi«iichia burqiiei Provanclier. 

 Additional localities are as follows: Anglesea, New Jersey; Mor- 

 gantowu, West Virginia, coll. (Dr. A. D. Hopkins, accessions No. 

 7327 Hopk. W. Va., May 1897, from dead l)ranches of hard maple 

 infested by Xiphydria albicornis). The two specimens from West 

 Virginia have the thorax and forehead entirely black. 



Psiniinegiscliia xiphydriie Asbmead. 



A nietatype is precisely Wke pallipes Cresson (type of weedi Ash- 

 mead) in size, habitus and everything except the greater amount of 

 brown on the legs. I think this species must be the female of 

 pallipes. Lovei Ashmead, previous to seeing which, I had thought 

 might occupy that position, is distinct. 



In the type the ovipositor is broken ; in the metatype it is 3 mm. 

 long; the total length 5 mm. 



Additional localities: Caroline to Harford, New York, June 15, 

 1904, Dr. A. D. MacGillivray (metatype, in coll. Cornell Univ. i. 

 A specimen collected b}' Mr. Beutenmiiller in the Black Mountains 

 of North Carolina probably belongs here ; Muskoka, Ontario (E. 

 P. Van Duzee).
