spot in front of the median ocellus and an angular line behind it, a par- 

 enthesis-shaped mark at the lateral margin of the vertical furrow, the mar- 

 gin of the pronDtum, the tegulae, the V-spot, the scutellum, the postscutellum, 

 a spot on humeral angle beneath the wings, the front and middle legs and 

 the hind legs except the tibiae, white ; the abdomen rufous beyond the 

 basal plates ; antennae with about twenty-seven segments ; supraclypeal 

 area carinated ; head depressed about the median ocellus, sparsely punc- 

 tured ; declivous area smooth ; median lobe of mesothorax smooth, lateral 

 lobes densely punctured and scutellum sparsely punctured: wings hyaline; 

 veins brownish. Length 8-10 mm. 



The male differs in having the entire declivous area yellow and the 

 notum, except the scutellum and the postscutellum, black.

 New Haven, and Wallingford, Connecticut — B. H. Walden, collector. 



This species is near rubi Rohwer. 



Pamphilius fleicheri, n. sp. — Male : body black with the front and 

 clypeus below the transverse ridge, the proximal segment of the antennae 

 beneath, the apical half of the antennae, the inner and posterior orbits, a 

 line on each side of the caudal margin of the head, a narrow line on the 

 collar, the tegulse, the scutellum, the postscutellum, and the legs except the 

 posterior tibiae, the tarsi becoming more or less rufous, white ; abdominal 

 segments three to five- rufous j antennae with about twenty-six segments, 

 the second and third segments equal in length ; the declivous part of the 

 head roughened ; the median ocellus in a heart-shaped depression, the 

 apex being behind the ocellus, the median fovea a pit below this depressed 

 area ; the head strongly elevated and roughened on each side between the 

 lateral ocelli and the compound eyes ; the mesonotum polished ; the scut- 

 ellum sparsely punctured ; wings hyaline. Length 8 mm. 



Female. — Body black, with an anchor-shaped area on the head, the 

 front margin of the clypeus, the mandibles, the distal half of the antennae, 

 a line on the posterior orbits, the cheeks, the inner orbits, bifurcating near 

 the middle of the compound eyes, one part extending obliquely toward and 

 almost to the lateral ocelli, the other extending along the margin of the 

 compound eyes, swollen at their upper inner margin, narrowed again on 

 the posterior orbits, triangularly expanded at the caudal margin of the 

 head and extending along its caudal margin on each side, two spots in 

 front of the median ocellus, a line on the collar, the tegulae, two converg- 

 ing bars on the median lobe of the mesonotum, the scutellum, the post-
