Female. — Length, 9,5 mm.; antennae, 3 mm. 



Head about as long as broad ; face at clypeal f oveae nearly half 

 as broad as frons; vertex closely punctate; secondary carina of occi- 

 put rather strong; antennae about a third longer than head and 

 thorax, middle joints less than twice as long as thick. Mesoscutum 

 without polished areas, reticulate-rugose medially and anteriorly'-, 

 coarsely punctate laterally; pronotal furrow not carinate behind, 

 transversely striate, as is also for the most part the mesopleural 

 furrow; glabrous spots on mesosternum subopaque; propodeum. 

 rather short, its side seen from above strongly rounded, median 

 furrow and lateral carinae distinct, reticulation obscure, " neck " 

 reaching middle of hind coxae; apical abscissa of metacarpus about 

 half as long as radial cell; intercubitus distinct; hind basitarsus 

 swollen; hind coxae more than a third as thick as long. Abdomen 

 opaque, pubescent ; ovipositor sheath longer than third tergite. 



Color as described for sckioarzi except that scape is yellow beneath. 



Type locality. — Glen Echo, Maryland. 



Type.—Q^X. No. 24622, U.S.N.M. 



Two females, the type taken by K. M. Fouts July 31, 1917, and the 

 paratype by J. C. Bridwell September 12, 1920, at the same locality. 



HYMENOPHARSALIA BRmWELLI, new species. 



Female. — Length, 13 mn). ; antennae, 5 mm. ; front wing, 5 mm. 



Distinct in its almost entire black color, the only pale markings 

 being narrow brownish streaks on inner and upper orbits, while the 

 front femora are piceo-testaceous. Structurally it is more closely 

 allied to mrginiensis and schwarzi than to texana. 



Head from above not wider than the thorax, from in front longer 

 than wide, the face below more than half as wide as at antennae, 

 but much narrower than clypeus; face, clypeus, cheeks, and temples 

 densely punctate; vertex and frons coarsely, reticulate-rugose; occi- 

 put polished throughout, the occipital carina not interrupted me- 

 dially, the accessory carina obsolete ; antennae longer than head and 

 thorax ; slightly thickened before middle and tapering thence toward 

 apex; flagellum 25-jointed, middle joints less than twice as long as 

 thick; mandible apparently not angulate on posterior margin; 

 clypeus sharply rounded at apex with the margin slightly reflexed; 

 lateral impression of pronotum roughened, not defined posteriorly 

 by a carina ; mesoscutum very coarsely reticulate-rugose, with a 

 deep furrow posteriorly continuous with that of the scutellum; 

 mesopleural furrow entirely transversely rugose ; mesopleurum longi- 

 tudinally reticulate-rugose under the dense pile, glabrous spot sub- 

 opaque ; scutellum deeply concave, punctate ; propodeum with dis- 

 tinct longitudinal carinae and faintly reticulate, medially deeply 

 reticulately furrowed, the " neck " reaching barely a third the length
