Its smaller size, u on striated vertex, the lineated rugosities of the 

 thorax, the length of the fiinielar joints, and the sculptnre of the thorax 

 sufficiently distinguish the species.

9. Length, 1.80""". Kobust, black; tlioiax rugose and covered with 

 a fuscous pubescence; cheeks flattened; lower part of head below the 

 eyes striated, rest of the head smooth, polished. Mandibles long, 

 curved, brownish yellow, the teeth black, the outer tooth very long, 

 acute. Antennae 12-jointed, very short, black, not reaching beyond 

 thetegula', the scape pale at base; first funiclar joint very little longer 

 than the pedicel, the second slightly shorter; third and fourth minute, 

 transverse; club scarcely longer than the funicle. Posterior rim of 

 scutellum, black. Post-scutellar spine small. Wings fusco-hyaline, 

 pubescent. Legs brownish yeHow, the coxa^ black. Abdomen a little 

 longer than the head and thorax together, smooth, shining, with a 

 faint wavy-Uned sculpture, the first segment alone striated. 



Habitat.— Jacksonville, Fla. 



Type in Coll. Ashmead. 



The short antenna', relative length of the funiclar joints, and the 

 sculpture of abdomen can be depended upon to distinguish the species.

$. Length, 2.20'"'". Black, pubescent; head transverse, polished,

 men oblong-oval, narrowed at base, black, shining, the three basal 

 segments striated.

Described from a single specimen. It is difficult to tell whether this 

 species is the op])osite sex of either of the two females described 

 above, but as the coxa' are pale, and the sculpture is different, I sur- 

 mise it to be a distinct species.
