NO. 1981. NEARCTIC SPECIES OF SAWFLIES—ROHWER. 275 



ALLANTOPSIS THORACICA, new species. 



Male. — Length 6 mm. Labrum, short, scarcely projecting beyond 

 the clypeus, anterior margin narrowly rounded; clypeus very slightly 

 arcuately emarginate; supraclypeal area narrow, gently convex, 

 sub triangular in outline; supraclypeal and antennal fovese conflu- 

 ent; middle fovea elongate, oval in outlme, deep, walls sloping; an- 

 tennal furrows, sharply defined; ocellar depression, heart-shaped; 

 postocellar line shorter than ocellocular line; postocellar area broadly 

 defined by sharp furrows about one-fourth wider than long; posto- 

 cellar furrow bent anteriorly to unite with the furrow from the ocellar 

 basin; antennae, hairy, the thu-d joint nearly as long as fourth and 

 fifth combined, the third and fourth joints, oblique apically, so their 

 inner margins are much shorter than the outer; head and thorax, 

 shiny, with a few setigerous punctures; longer spur of the anterior 

 tibiae, curved; hypopygidium broadly rounded apically. Black; 

 thorax above and most of the mesopleurse, rufous; four posterior 

 coxae., trochanters, base of the posterior tibia and the base of the poste- 

 rior basitarsis, yellow or yellowish white; the femora and anterior legs, 

 dark piceous; head and thorax clothed with dense gray hau-; venation 

 dark brown, except in the lighter colored portions of the wings, where 

 it is yellowish; wings dusky, subhyaline, a band from the base of the 

 stigma and the basal portion of the wings, yellowish.

Type.— Csit. No. 1446, U.S.N.M. 



Genus ATHLOPHORUS Burmeister. 

 ATHLOPHORUS FORMOSACOLA Rohwer. 



By oversight the color of the scutellum was omitted in the original 

 description.^ It is for the most part pale ferruginous, the rest black. 

 In Enslin's table to the species of Athlo'phorus ,^ formosacola runs to 

 javanus Enslin from which it may be separated, according to the 

 description by the entirely black mesonotum, and different colored 

 legs. 



Genus TENTHREDELLA Rohwer. 

 TENTHREDELLA CAROLINA, new species. 



Allied to Tenthredella lohata (Norton), but the coarsely punctured 

 mesonotum and the black metepisternum will readily separate 

 Carolina from lohata. 



Female. — Length 1 1 mm. Labrum long, broadly rounded apically; 

 clypeus deeply, subsquarely emarginate, lobes broad, sub truncate;
