Polycyrtiis macer Cresson, Proc. Acad, Nat. Sci. Phila., 1873, p. 144, female, 

 male. 



Known to me only in the male, a cotype of that sex from Mexico 

 being in the United States National Museum. This specimen is the 

 basis of the following description. 



Male. — Vertex in front view weakly concave; frons with scrobes 

 shallow, horn short, stout conical; eyes nearly parallel within; face 

 polished, finely punctuate above, longitudinally impressed on each 

 side of middle; malar space hardly as long as basal width of man- 

 dible, constricted, mouth barely as broad as narrowest width of face ; 

 temples in side view rather narrow, occipital carina nearly parallel 

 with posterior margin of eye, low throughout, recurving below to 

 meet the hypostomal carina at about the middle, latter low ; temples 

 from above flat, weakly oblique, about a third as long as short 

 diameter of eye; diameter of ocellus three-fourths as long as ocell- 

 ocular line and about a half longer than postocellar line. Thorax 

 polished, without sculpture; pronotum with anterior lateral carina 

 low, epomia distinct but short ; prescutum low, lateral lobes flattened 

 above; scutellum moderately high; mesopleurum with the furrows 

 weakly foveolate, subalar tubercle not carinate; propodeum not 

 impressed medially, carina nearly straight, spiracle elongate, 

 apophyses low, carinate, the carinae continuing down to posterior 

 lateral corners of propodeum; hind femur nearly twice as thick 

 in middle as at apex, inner calcarium two-fifths as long as basitarsus ; 

 areolet rather small, narrow, recurrent and nervulus nearly inter- 

 stitial, postnervulus broken at middle, nervellus at lower fourth.
