long, others transverse; middle area of first tergite rugose-punctate, 

 the bounding grooves obsoletely foveolate; second tergite medially 

 roughly rugose, laterally polished with uneven punctation, gastro- 

 coeli polished, triangular, with a carina extending posteriorly in an 

 impression that terminates in an oval pit; third tergite broadly, 

 arcuately emarginate apically, oblique furrows confluent near base, 

 middle area punctate basally, surface otherwise polished, suture and 

 furrows foveolate; fourth tergite polished with a few punctures in 

 basal middle and with an arcuate, foveolate, transverse groove near 

 base; other tergites polished; hypopygium extending far beyond 

 apex. 



Ferruginous; antennae, stemmaticum, maxillae, apices of joints of 

 palpi, mesosternum, coxae, trochanters, and mid and hind femora, 

 black; mid and hind tibiae rufous, their apices and the tarsi black- 

 ish; wings black, base of stigma yellow, hyaline streaks below stigma 

 and along second intercubitus ; tegulae ferruginous. 



Male. — Malar space and space between " mouth opening " and eye 

 shorter; abdomen a little broader relatively and more roughly 

 sculptured, even the fourth tergite being more or less sculptured 

 over most of its surface. Otherwise much like female. 



Tiy/^e.— U.S.N.M. No. 42903, from Tsinan Sung, China. 



One female and three males collected June 11, 1929, by Arthur

ATANYCOLUS ANOCOMIDIS, new species 



Related to {Bracon) Atanycolus simplex (Cresson) but differing 

 from that species in many respects, especially in color pattern, as 

 will appear from the following description : 



Female. — Length, 10 mm.; antennae, 9 mm.; ovipositor, 12 mm. 

 Sm.ooth and polished without sculpture except minute punctation at 

 sides of frons and face. Head behind eyes slightly narrower than at 

 ej'cs, temples apparently a little longer than short diameter of eye; 

 frontal scrobes deep, the frons on either side distinctly swollen ; eyes 

 nearly circular, about two-thirds as long as width of face at top; 

 clypeus transverse]}' impressed, carina outlining its base distinct 

 only medially; " mouth-opening " little more than half as broad as its 

 distance from eye margin; malar space a little more than half as 

 long as eye; scape distinctly less than half as long as thick. Thorax 

 not at all depressed, fully as deep as broad; notauli distinct; legs 

 moderately stout, hind femur a little more than three times as long 

 as thick. Abdomen rather narrow; first tergite much narrower at 

 apex than long beyond spiracles, the sides parallel, with carina from 

 spiracle at apex running very close to margin of median triangular 

 area, the groove outlining the median area only weakly foveolate; 

 second tergite with embossed area distinctly narrower than half 

 length of tergite, the defininij grooves weakly foveolate, lateral
