ART. 14 ICHNEUMON" -PLIES OF GENUS POLYCYKTUS CUSHMAN 15 



Head black with only clypeus, mandibles, and annulus (middle of 

 joint 4-joint 12) white, palpi stramineous; hind femur ferruginous; 

 stigma pale. 



Male. — Temples from above a third as long as short diameter of 

 eye ; apophyses reduced to low tubercles, much closer to apex than to 

 carina; second tergite three and a half times as long as broad at 

 base; pubescence of abdomen nearly black (reddish in female); 

 annulus embracing flagellar joints 7-20. 



Type-locality. — Canamina, Bolivia. 



Type.—Qsit. No. 42179, U.S.N.M. 



Two of each sex collected in July by W. M. Mann on the Mulford 

 Biological Exploration of 1921-22. 



Very closely allied to minutus Cushman, from which it is at once 

 distinguishable b}'^ its white clypeus and mandibles. 



11. POLYCYRTUS (POLYCYRTUS) AREOLATUS, new species 



Female. — Length 12 mm. 



Differs from above description of ornafifrons as follows : Frontal 

 horn small conical; frons above its base without pits or carinae; 

 face impunctate ; malar space fully as long as basal width of mandi- 

 ble, mouth barely as broad as narrowest width of face; occipital 

 carina parallel with posterior margin of eye, not reaching hypos- 

 tomal carina but its lower end not prominent, the space between it and 

 hypostomal carina shallow ; temples from above more than a third as 

 long as short diameter of eye; diameter of an ocellus barely two- 

 thirds as long as ocell-ocular line and not nearly twice as long as 

 postocellar line; basal joint of flagellum somewhat more slender. 

 Anterior lateral elevation of pronotum not so high, epomia short 

 but distinct; lobes of mesoscutum convex; propodeum impressed 

 only weakly basad of carina and without elevations flanking the 

 impression, carina nearly straight medially, spiracles oval, apophy- 

 ses long, curved, slightly nearer to apex than to carina, apical slope 

 very steep ; hind femur fully twice as thick in middle as at apex, 

 inner calcarium barely a third as long as basitarsus; areolet very 

 small, recurrent nearly interstitial. Second tergite only about two 

 and a half times as long as broad at base and much shorter than 

 first ; sheath hardly two-tliirds as long as hind tibia. 



Head black, clypeus, mandibles, palpi, and annulus from middle 

 of fourth joint of flagellum to eleventh joint white; hind femur 

 ferruginous. 



Type-locality. — Alhajuelo, Panama. 



Type.— Cat. No. 42180, U.S.N.M. 



One specimen taken April 7, 1911, by August Busck.
