Type. — No. 4061, The Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- 
delphia. Type locality. — Georgia. (H. K. Morrison.) 
Related to A. (S.) imilatrix Cresson, 
Female. — Length 8.5 mm.; body black, mostly covered with pale ochreous 
or whitish hairs, head with its facial line : transfacial line :: 55: 63, axial line ; 
temporal line :: 27: 13, malar line : joint 3 of antennae :: 1: 7, elevated portion 
of malar space virtually wanting, head covered \vith whitish hairs, front shiny 
and striato-punctate, the punctures from one to three puncture widths apart, 
not elevated along the inner foveal edge, fovea at most : ocellocular line :: 
10: 10, fovea virtually contiguous to the upper end of the inner eye margin, 
fovea adjoining ocelli, fovea decidedly constricted near its middle where it is 
apparently only a little more than half as wide as the greatest width of the 
fovea, the latter continued below the constriction as a nearly parallel-sided 
furrow down to a point apparently on the clypeal line, fovea pale ochreous 
throughout, fovarea poorly developed, represented by a narrow, beveled, shiny 
space along the outer edge of the lower half of the fovea, face siiiny, with large 
adjoining and nearly adjoining clear cut pmictures, clypeus slightly elevated 
above the apical margin, convex, shiny and punctured much like the face, 
polished dovm the middle, clypearea poorly developed, represented by a 
median impunctate line, clypeus thinly hairy, its surface not at all hidden by 
hairs, labrarea subemarginate, width at base: length down the middle :: 10: 3, 
width at apex : length down the middle :: 4.5: 3, labrarea at base a little more 
than one third as wide as the labrum, the latter with a fringe of pale golden 
hairs, joint 3 of antennae : 4-|-5 :: 7: 8.5, joint 4 as thick as long, the succeeding 
joints apparently a little longer than thick, antennae blackish throughout, 
mandibles typical, robust, extending nearly to the outer edge of the labrum, 
black except for the apical half which is mostly dark reddish, palpi typical; 
thorax covered with an abundance of pale hairs which are ochreous on the 
dorsulum where they are shorter than the whitish hairs on the mesopleura, 
dorsulum dullish, finely reticulated, coarsely punctured, the punctures ranging 
from adjoining to two puncture widths apart, notauli represented by an ele- 
vated shiny line, mesopleura with wiiitish hairs, except along the upper margin 
where the hairs are pale ochreous, finely reticulated and more deeply and more 
coarsely punctured than the dorsulum, the punctures mostly adjoining, scutel 
hairy and sculptured much like the dorsulum except for being more coarsely 
punctured and having coarser hairs, metanotum hairy and sculptured like the 
dorsulum except that the sculpture is dense and the hairs closer together, 
tegulae dark brow’ii, partly polished, wings with three submarginal cells, wing 
base dark browm, subcosta from pale to blackish brown, stigma pale browTiish 
stramineous w ith a yellowish border, rest of veins dull stramineous w ith a black- 
ish tinge, first recurrent vein received by the second submarginal cell beyond 
the middle and nearer to the second transverse cubitus than the first transverse 
cubitus is to the stigma on the radial vein, nervulus received by the median 
cell and fonning a nearly acute angle with the second abscissa of the median
