WALSH DESCRIPTIONS OF N. AM. HYMENOPTERA. I 25 



rufous, the radius is dull rufous, and the salient angle in the biangulated 

 2d recurrent vein is subobsolete or obsolete. Length^ .51-. 55 inch; $ 

 •33 - -5° inch- Front wing o* «3o - -37 inch; $ .27-.40 inch. Ovipos. .22.- 

 .30 inch. 



Three o* ; eight 2. In this species there are absolutely no sex- 

 ual variations, except that the white markings of the legs are, as 

 usual, brighter in d 1 . Comes near varipes, Cress., but that spe- 

 cies is expressly stated to have all the coxa? ferruginous, and noth- 

 ing is said of any of its trochanters being other than ferruginous. 

 Moreover its ovipositor is " about as long as the body," instead 

 of being little more than half as long, and the description of the 

 hind tibia? does not agree at all. 



Glypta diversipes, n. sp.— $.— Differs from simplicipes $ only as fol- 

 lows : — 1. The tubercle on the face is large and obvious, but not near as 

 prominent as in tuberculifrons, and its tip is polished and sparsely punc- 

 tate. 2. The clypeus is black, the mandibles rufous including their teeth, 

 and the palpi are whitish. Labrum not seen. Antennae brown-black im- 

 maculate. 3. The thorax is subpolished and less strongly sculptured, the 

 white line under the humeral suture is less robust and only extends half 

 way to tip of the suture, and the scutel is immaculate. 4. The carina? on 

 abdominal joint 1 extend distinctly f of the way to the tip, whence they 

 become subsolete. 5. The ovipositor is full | as long as the body, and is 

 black except the rufous tip. 6. The legs are pale rufous. In the 4 front 

 legs the coxa?, both trochanters, the knees, the exterior face of the tibia?, 

 and the entire tarsi except their fuscous tips, are all white; but the mid- 

 dle coxa? are anteriorly rufous except at tip. In the hind legs the termi- 

 nal \ of the basal trochanter, and the whole of the second one, are white; 

 the extreme tips of the femora are fuscous ; the tibia? are white with their 

 terminal ! interiorly dusky, the dusky vitta prolonged a little laterally at 

 its base so as to foreshadow a black annulus, and on the terminal \ form- 

 ing a complete black annulus; and the tarsi are black with the basal J-J 

 of joints 1-3 white. Spurs of all the legs white. 7. The wings are hya- 

 line, veins black, radius rufous, stigma pale rufous edged with black, the 

 salient angle in the biangulated 2d recurrent vein obsolete, and the bulla? 

 C and D confluent, with an exterior dusky dot at the point of confluence. 

 Length $ .30 inch. Front wing $ .25 inch. Ovipos. .21 inch. 



One $ ; o* unknown to me. Very near varipes, Cress , but 

 differs in the 4 front coxa? and trochanters being all more or less 

 white. The unusual coloration of the hind tibia agrees very well 

 with that species. 



Glypta rufiplaralis, n. sp.— <$. — Differs from shnplicipes $ only as fol- 

 lows : — 1. The tubercle on the face is large and obvious, but not near as 

 prominent as in tuberculifrons, and its tip is polished and sparsely punc- 

 tate. 2. The clypeus and mandibles are black and the palpi whitish.
