  Differs 
  from 
  mexicana 
  in 
  color 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  Mesosternum 
  yellow 
  only 
  

   along 
  sternaulices 
  ; 
  propodeal 
  markings 
  extending 
  only 
  a 
  little 
  before 
  

   apophyses; 
  hind 
  coxa 
  black 
  above 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  oval 
  yellow 
  spot; 
  

   basal 
  joint 
  of 
  hind 
  trochanter 
  largely 
  black, 
  apical 
  joint 
  yellow, 
  hind 
  

   femur 
  black 
  above 
  but 
  with 
  a 
  narrow 
  median 
  yellow 
  line, 
  hind 
  tibia 
  

   somewhat 
  blackish 
  or 
  brownish 
  at 
  base 
  and 
  apex 
  ; 
  petiole 
  black 
  above, 
  

   yellow 
  below. 
  

  

  The 
  male 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  like 
  the 
  female 
  but 
  has 
  the 
  frontal 
  horns 
  

   longer 
  and 
  more 
  acute 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  tibia 
  more 
  broadly 
  black 
  at 
  apex. 
  

  

  15. 
  CRYPTANURA 
  BILINEATA, 
  new 
  species 
  

  

  Very 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  two 
  preceding 
  species, 
  but 
  distinct 
  from 
  both 
  

   in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  propodeal 
  markings, 
  which 
  extend 
  forward 
  to 
  the 
  

   carina 
  but 
  are 
  abruptly 
  narrowed 
  before 
  the 
  apophyses; 
  in 
  the 
  less 
  

   distinctly 
  thickened 
  and 
  flattened 
  antennae; 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  frontal 
  

   horns 
  set 
  rather 
  high 
  on 
  a 
  common 
  base; 
  in 
  the 
  broader 
  and 
  more 
  

   weakly 
  convex 
  scutellum; 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  short, 
  obtuse 
  apophyses. 
  It 
  is 
  

   like 
  Tnexicana 
  in 
  general 
  in 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  legs 
  but 
  has 
  the 
  hind 
  coxa 
  

   colored 
  as 
  in 
  orisabensis; 
  the 
  petiole 
  is, 
  as 
  in 
  mexicana, 
  yellow 
  above 
  

   and 
  black 
  below; 
  and 
  the 
  mesosternum, 
  as 
  in 
  oriBobensis, 
  is 
  yellow 
  

   only 
  along 
  the 
  sternaulices. 
  In 
  the 
  long 
  postocellar 
  line 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  

   sculpture 
  of 
  the 
  propodeum 
  it 
  is 
  more 
  like 
  ori^abensis 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  

   length 
  of 
  the 
  ovipositor 
  and 
  in 
  venation 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  it 
  agrees 
  with 
  

   mexicana.

  Distinct
