species. Since the female in his description is the type of this species, 

 I redescribed the males under the specific name of hituherculata, the 

 description appearing in my previous paper on the Bembicine wasps.

STICTIELLA MEGACERA Parker 



Btictiella megacera Pabkeb, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 52, 1917, p. 49. 



The male of this species may be recognized by the very large hirsute 

 process on the second sternite; b}'^ the widening of the flagellum at 

 the third segment; and by the character of the eighth sternite with 

 its short terminal spine, shorter lateral spines, and at the base of the 

 terminal spine the conspicuous hump, which is not developed into a 

 discal spine. The female shows none of these characters, but, as in the 

 male, the legs are relatively short and stout, the middle metatarsi 

 being imusually thick and heavy. The second cubital cell on the 

 female is almost a perfect rectangle.

STICTIELLA TERLINGUAE C. L. Fox 



Stictiella terlinguae C. L. Fox, Pan-Pac. Ent., vol. 4, No. 3, 1928, p. 103. 



This species was described by Mr. Fox from specimens taken at 

 Terlingua, Tex., by J. O. Martin on May 6, 1927. The description was 

 published after my key to the species in this genus had been pre- 

 pared ; consequently this species is not included therein. According to 

 the description, the male of this species runs in my key to the male of 

 magacera, from which species it may be distinguished by the prom- 

 inent discal spine on the eighth sternite, a character lacking in 

 magacera. The female runs to the female of tenuicoj'^iis, which species 

 has the fasciae on the tergites of the female unbroken, wliereas on 

 this species the fasciae on the tergites are broken into lateral and 

 discal spots.
