21. POLYCYRTUS (POLYCYRTUS) SALADONIS, new species 



Feinale. — Length 13 mm. 



Very similar to sulcatilohus^ from the foregoing description of 

 which it differs only as follows : Occipital carina in side view paral- 

 lel with posterior margin of eye; lateral lobes of mesoscutum obso- 

 letely sulcate; upper anterior angle of mesopleurum longitudinally 

 rugose ; metapleurum rugose over most of its area ; propodeum ru- 

 gose punctate apically, impressed only basad of carina, apophyses 

 long; hind femur even more slender. Mandibles white; frontal 

 horn entirely black; orbits narrowly interrupted behind top of eye. 



Male. — Antennal annulus beginning on seventh flagellar joint; 

 apophyses very short conical ; metapleurum smooth. Otherwise, ex- 

 cept sexually, like female. 



Type-locality. — Chaco de Santiago del Estero, Rio Salado, near

Female. — Length 14 mm. 



Vertex and frons concave, horn large conical with an obscurely 

 defined impression on frons and above its base; eyes distinctly con- 

 vergent below and comprising distinctly less than two-thirds total 

 width of head; face slightly raised medially, impressed above on 

 each side ; malar space slightly longer than basal width of mandible, 

 constricted above base of mandible; mouth hardly as broad as nar- 

 rowest width of face ; occipital carina slightly convergent above with 

 posterior margin of eye, very prominent below and separated by a 

 broad deep furrow from hypostomal carina, latter moderately high 

 and curving outward at its highest point (fig. 2) ; temples rather 

 weakly oblique, strongly concave, hardly a third as long as short 

 diameter of eye; diameter of lateral ocellus two-thirds ocellocular 

 line, much less than twice postocellar line; first joint of flagellum 

 fully eight times as long as apical thickness. Thorax polished, vir-
