ABT. 15. REVISION OF THE MUTILLJD WASPS MICKEL. 19 



The type of this species has been examined and I find that it 

 possesses neither a sciiteUar scale nor a propodeal tubercle. Atten- 

 tion may be called here to the fact that Fox (1899) in his key to the 

 species of his group •" canadensis " mentions donae-nnae as having a 

 scutellar scale, evidently referring to the propodeal tubercle of that 

 species, while in a note under wichhmni he says that the latter differs 

 from others in the group by the well developed scutellar scale. Ob- 

 viously, this note should have referred to donae-anae and not to 

 wickhami.
