AMERICAN MUTILLID^. 277 



blackish ; antennae and tarsi testaceous ; head strongly punctured : thorax rugoso- 

 pnnctate above; second dorsal segment with strong, rather close punctures, 

 especially toward base, those of first dorsal feebler and sparser, as are likewise 

 those of second ventral. Length 4 mm. 



Arizona : Chiric Mts., July 29th (H. H. Hubbard). One speci- 

 men in collection of U. S. National Museum. 



3. <;iiypliotes testaceipes n. sp. 



9 . — Testaceo-ferruginous, clothed with long, palish, not whitish, hairs ; abdo- 

 men concolorous; legs and antennae testaceous; punctures of head strong and 

 separated; thorax with strong, separated punctures; petiole short, stout, not as 

 long as hind tibiae, curved ; firsj and second dorsal segment with separated punc- 

 tures, less strong and more separated than in elevatns and punctatiis ; punctures 

 of second ventral small, sparse and shallow. Length 9 mm. 



Arizona: Phoenix (H. G. Griffith). One example. This spe- 

 cies is more hairy than either of the two preceding species. 



4. Chyphotes petiolatus n. sp. 



9. — Testaceo-ferruginous, clothed with long, grayish pubescence, beneath 

 which there is, in some specimens, a shorter, appressed, yellowish pubescence; 

 antennae and legs testaceous; abdomen concolorous; punctures of head and 

 thorax practically the same as in C. festaceipes, perhaps a little closer on thorax; 

 petiole about as long as hind tibiae, rather slender, straight; first and second 

 dorsal segments with strong, separated, rounded punctures, those on second 

 ventral larger, deeper and sparser, especially sparse medially. Length 4-6 mm. 



The following six species are known in the male sex only. Of 

 these attenaata, Belfrcu/ei, peniusiilaris and melaniceps have two 

 subraarginal cells, whereas in nubecula and albipes there are three 

 submarginals.

6. Cliypliotes melaniceps Blake. 



Photopsis melaniceps Blake, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc, xiii, 264, %, 1886. 

 Miitilla melaniceps Dalla Torre, Cat. Hym., viii, 60, %, 1897. 



The type of this species is without locality label. Blake gave 

 Arizona as its habitat. 



7. Chyphotes peuiiissiiilaris n. sp. 



% . — Castaneous-browu, clothed with long, whitish pubescence, which is 

 thickest on abdomen; legs pale testaceous, the antennae slightly darker ; head 

 rounded and considerably produced behind eyes, with distinct, separated punc-
