 shorter than fourth. Legs more yellow. Length 7-9 mm.

 denais Cr., ibid. 214. 



Some male specimens from here were referred by Mr. Cresson to 

 P. andrenoides, others to P. nemdenals. It is a common and very 

 variable species. The last ventral segment in the male has its latei-al 

 angles reflexed as in Andreiui crakegi S . The female is black, 

 clypeus rather strongly punctured on the sides, basal process of 

 labrum short and triangular, mandibles rufous in middle or at tips, 

 flagellum testaceous beneath. Abdomen red, sometimes with a little 

 blackish, or even entirely black, hind tarsi and often the tibiae, pale 

 ferruginous. Length 8-9 mm. 



I suspect that this species belongs to Smith's genus Scrapter. 



Panurgus aiituniiialis ?. — Black, clothed with pale pabescence, which 

 is rather short and dense on mesonotum ; face finely and densely punctured, ex- 

 cept a shining, not depressed, space along the eyes ; clypeus short, very transverse, 

 truncate; labrum nearly as large, subquadrate, rounded anteriorlj', transversely 

 striate at base; flagellum testaceous beneath towards tip; mesoscutum finely and 

 densely punctured, disc of metathoi-ax fiat, finely sculptured. Wings whitish 

 hyaline, nei'vures and stigma pale, submarginal cells of equal length, outer margin 

 of teguhe dull testaceous. Legs slender, pubescence pale, black, the small tarsal 

 joints, except the last one, pale. Abdomen somewhat shining, almost impunctate, 

 with pale pubescence at apex, apical margins of segments broadly pale testaceous. 

 Length 7-8 mm. 



Hah. — Illinois ; seven specimens. 



Calliopsi^K rngosus J. — Closely resembles C. me.xicanus Cr., and C. scaber 

 Fox, Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci. ser. 2, vol. iv, 115; it differs from the former by its 

 smaller size aud the abdomen being bare, except the anal fimbria, which is pale, 

 except at tip of abdomen, where it is fulvous; second submarginal cell narrowed 

 one-half towasds marginal ; from C. scaber it differs in having the clypeus without 

 impressed line, and in the more closely punctured dorsulum, subequal submar- 

 ginal cells and less pubescent abdomen. Length 7-8 mm. 



% . — This sex differs from that of C mezicanus in its smaller size, aud in being 

 less pubescent, also in having the clypeus, a spot on each side of face, the tibiae 

 exteriorly and the basal joints of each tarsus yellow. Length 7 mm. 



Hab, — Illinois ; twelve female, one male specimens. 



Callioi>si!>i asteris %. — Black, slightly shining, quite bare, beneath the 

 pubescence is rather long and quite thin, across prothorax and postscutellum aud 

 about tubercles there is a close white tomentum. Head coarsely punctured, ex- 

 cept above antennje on face, and closely, except on each side of face near eyes ; 

 labrum with a subquadrate, concave, shining process; antennae black, third joint
