tellum raised, strongly rugosely punctured ; the apex aciculated, transverse. 

 The first abdominal segment cup-shaped; the basal slope smooth; the rest 

 punctured, stiongly towards the apex which has a smooth border, behind 

 which is a row of strong punctures. The second segment is as wide as long, 

 strongly, closely punctured ; its apex is not reflexed ; the other segments are 

 closely punctured. Base of thorax transverse, the sides rounded. 



Santa Clara Co., California (Baker). 



A broad, stout species, with the head, thorax and base of abdo- 

 men thickly covered with long pale fuscous hair. 



This species looks like A. lineativentris Cam., which may be known 

 from it by the lateral angles of the pronotuni strongly projecting, 

 by the femora not being broadly black, by the black mark on the 

 base of the abdomen having its apical part narrowed at the base, 

 then broadly dilated laterally, and the second abdominal segment is 

 not strongly reflexed. 



The male of fulvitarsis is similarly colored to the female, except 

 that the coxse, trochanters and four anterior femora are yellow be- 

 low ; the clypeus wants the black, is longer compared with the 

 width and has the apex roundly incised ; the apical joint of the 

 antennae, its hook and the underside of the penultimate joint below 

 are rufous; the hook is slender and reaches only to the apex of the 

 last joint; the outer edge of the pronotuni projects a little — in the 

 female not at all — but not so conspicuously as in lineativentris ; nor 

 is the apex of the second abdominal segment strongly reflexed as it 

 is in that species. The size and form of the black mark on the 

 clypeus in the^female varies. 



Odyiieriis (Ancistrocerus) colon C'resson. 

 Fedor, May. In what I make out to be this species (described in 

 Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, IV, 241), the lower half of the sides of the 

 metanotum are broadly yellow and covered densely witli woolly 

 white pubescence; there is an irregular small spot near the apex of 

 the rnesonotum ; the apex of the first abdominal segment is slightly, 

 of the second more distinctly turned up ; the basal slope of the first 

 segment is triangular, with an irregular, not very distinct crest; 

 there is no spot on the second segment, which is distinctly longer 

 than wide and is not perceptibly narrowed at the base. The cly- 

 peus is strongly but not closely punctured and with some longitudi- 

 nal striae on the apical half in the middle; its apex is distinctly 

 depressed, clearly separated and transverse at the apex ; in length 

 it is slightly but distinctly greater than its greatest width. On the
