1 The type of A. annulipes (Ashmead)liaslostboth wings, and it is possible but not likely that they 

 ■were banded inconspicuously, although Dr. Ashmead does not mention this character. If the wings are 

 banded, the species would run to A. similis, from which it differs in having the antennae much shorter 

 and the club roimded at apex.
