ATRACTODES GRANDIS, new species. 



" Exolytus grandis Ashm.," Slosson, Ent. News, vol. 11, 1900, p. 320. 



Will not run to Exolytus in Ashmead's key because of the com- 

 pressed abdomen. 



Female.— l^ength, 9 mm.; antennae (broken). 



Temples narrower than eyes, strongly convex, polished; face 

 opaque and densely punctate medially ; eyes divergent below ; malar 

 space slightly longer than basal width of mandible ; clypeus separated 

 from face, about half as long as broad, medially slightly produced 

 at apex, opaque punctate basally; basal joint of flagellum more than 

 three times as long as thick (others missing) ; mesoscutum, scutellum, 

 and mesopleurum above polished, practically impunctate, notauli 

 distinct anteriorly; pronotum laterally rugulose; mesopleurum below 

 subopaque punctate, sternauli transversely striate ; metapleurum and 

 propodeum irregularly rugulose, basal areas polished, median area 

 shining shagreened, not reaching base, of equal width at base and 

 apex, wider in middle, scarcely concave ; areolet small, entirely open at 

 apex, recurrent before middle ; abdomen nearly twice as long as head 

 and thorax; first tergite shagreened, clorsally faintly longitudinally 

 striate, postpetiole hardly twice as wide as petiole, medially sulcate ; 

 abdomen otherwise polished; second tergite with epipleural fold 

 extending slightly beyond spiracle. 



Black ; mandibles, antennae at base, tegulae, legs largely, and abdo- 

 men from second to fourth tergites more or less red, hind coxae and 

 femora piceous; wings hyaline, venation blackish.

 shire. 



Type.— Cat. No. 25011, U.S.N.M.

ATRACTODES SERPEDONTUS, new species. 



" AHractodes serpedontes Ashm.," Slosson, Ent. News, vol. 13. 1902, p. G. 



At once distinguishable in the female from co7npressus (Cresson) 

 by the entire lack of the epipleural fold on the second tergite, whicn 

 in compressus extends to about the middle of the tergite. From 

 ashmeadi Cushman it differs in the lack of the epipleural fold and in 

 color of abdomen. 



Female. — Length, 6 mm. ; antennae, 3.5 mm. 



Head behind eyes broad but not as broad as the eyes, polished ; face 

 minutely and rather densely punctate, subopaque ; eyes divergent be- 

 low; malar space narrower than basal width of mandible; clypeus 

 less than half as long as broad, basally coarsely punctate, apically 

 polished, distinctly separated medially; first joint of flagellum more 

 than three times as long as thick at apex and distinctly longer than
