The prevalent color is black, and this is sometimes varied with 

 red, less often with yellow and sometimes a little white on the 

 legs or antennae. The head, body and legs are covered with a short 

 yellowish or whitish pubescence, sometimes thick enough to obscure 

 the sculpture, especially on the metaveuter, producing on the sides, 

 head and propodeum of some species a bright sflvery sheen. 



The head is transverse to tranverse-quadrate, very different from 

 the head of either of the other two subfamilies; it is most like that 

 of Aulacinse, but when seen from the side is less convex in front, and 

 pointed or attenuated above instead of rounded ; in the Foeninae the 

 head is long, oval, and so attached as to normally throw the face in 

 plane with the dorsum ; in Evaniinie the face is always at right angles 

 to the plane of the dorsum. Posteriorly the entire head is concave, 

 usually deeply so, and the rim where the concave posterior part 

 meets the convex anterior is usually accentuated by a little ridge 

 marking what I have called the [)osterior angle of the occiput and 

 temples; in the Aulaeinse it is somewhat similar, but in the P^(onina'
