 faint niicioscopic punctation. Head transverse, abont thrice as '^vide 

 as \oug: eyes faintly bristly; mandibles brown; antenna' 11 -jointed, 

 black, the pedicel much longer than the tirst funicular joint, the second 

 funicular joint subequal with the first, the third very short, moniliform ; 

 the first joint of club transverse, small, the second, third, and fourth 

 equal, quadrate, the last bluntly cone-shaped, scarcely longer than the 

 preceding and narrower: legs dark brown, almost black, the tro- 

 chanters, a small spot on knees, and the tarsi, pale: wings hyaline, 

 fringed, the venation pale brown, the marginal vein about one-third the 

 length of the stigmal. Abdomen longer than the thorax, pointed at 

 apex, smooth and polished, the second segment longer than wide. 



"In the S of what I take to be this species, the antenna' are 12-jointed, 

 filiform, brown, the pedicel not as long as the first funi(;ular joint, the 

 second and third about equal, very slightly longer than the first, the 

 joints beyond ovoid-moniliform. The legs shownuich mori^ yellow than 

 in the 9 , the knees, broadly, base and a^iex of tibia' and taisi, yellow. 

 The first and second abdominal segments are striated at base; while 

 the second is almost twice as long as wide. 



"Described from one 9 reared by Albert Koebele from the eggs of a 

 Clisiocampa sp. in California, and one S reared by C. F. Waters in Ne- 

 braska, March 23, 1880, from the eggs of Clisiocampa amcricana Harris."

 tate; the face with a deep inq)ression just above the antennji? and with 

 a carina between the autennse. Antenna^ 12-jointed, brownish-yellow,

 second subequal with the first, joints 3 and 4, scarcely longer than 

 thick, the club 5-jointed. Mesopleura cribrate punctate, with a rufous 

 margin. Wings hyaline, pubescent, the marginal vein a little longer 

 than half the length of the stigmal. 



Abdomen broadly oval, sessile, the first segment transverse with lon- 

 gitudinal raised lines, the following segments coarsely shagreened. 



HABITAT. — rennsylvania. 



Type, 9 , in Berlin Museum. 



Described from a single specimen labeled " Penn. Zimmermann." 

 This species is at once distinguished from all others by the cribrate 

 punctuation, and it may ultimately form the type of a new genus. 

 My recolle(;tion ol" it is that it closely resembled an Hudroxotus, and it 

 is placed here doubtfully.
