 new species. 



(PYRACMON CLYPEATUM Ashmead MS.) = XENOSCHESIS SLOSSON AE Cushman. 



This specimen is the type of slossonae. 



♦SCOPESIS FLAVIFRONS (Ashmead). 



Hyposyntactiis flavifrons Ashmead, Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci., vol. 4, 1902, 

 p. 217, pi. 10, fig. 4, male only. 



SCOPESIS MONTICOLA, new species. 



" Scopasis monticola Ashiii. n. sp.," Slosson, Ent. News, vol. 13, 1902, p. 6. 



Differs from flavifrons (Ashmead) and pictus (Davis) in having 

 the clypeus distinctly swollen and medially protruding before the 

 transverse apical impression, this swelling overlying and concealing 

 the impression in the middle, and in the somewhat less extensive and 

 paler yellow marking of the abdomen. In the female it differs fur- 

 ther from 2)ictus in having the face entirely yellow and the middle 

 femur largely black. In the male it differs from both by the basally 

 black front and middle coxae; from j^'ictus in having the post- 

 scutellum black ; and from flavifrons in lacking the yellow marldngs 

 laterally on mesoscutum. 



Femal^e. — Length, 9 mm. ; antennae, 7 mm. 



Head and thorax opaque shagreened, face and lower mesopleura 

 and sternum finely, sparsely punctate; temples sloping, nearly
