CREMASTUS (CREMASTUS) EPAGOGES, new species. 



Female. — Length 7 mm., antennae 4 mm., ovipositor 3 mm. Head 

 viewed from above much more than twice as wide as long, temples 

 weakly rounded, narrowed; face about as wide as length of eye, ele- 

 vated in middle, weakly punctate; cl^'peus rounded at apex, about 

 two-thirds as long as interfovcal line, and shghtly longer than fovco- 

 ocular line, the suture straight; malar space subcqual to basal width 

 of mandible; diameter of lateral ocellus distinctly less than ocellocu- 

 lar line and barely half as long as postocellar line. Thorax less than 

 twice as long as high, propodeum gently rounded and reaching to 

 middle of hhid coxae, generally rather densely, strongly punctate; 

 pronotum rugulose in impression; mesopleurum polished below hind 

 wing, striate nearly to posterior margin of mesoscutum; scutellura 

 weakly convex, strongly carinate laterally; propodeal carinae strong, 

 areola and petiolar area separated, the former slightly the shorter, 

 apical areas transversely i-ugulose, others sparsely punctate; stigma 

 narrow, radius arising in middle; second discoidal cell nearly half as 

 wide at base as at apex; nervellus straight, perpendicular; legs slen- 

 der, hind basitarsus about equal to three followmg joints. Abdomen 

 slightly less than twice as long as head and thorax, first two tergites 

 about equal in length and together longer than remaining segments; 

 first tergite inclosing the sternite, postpetiole swollen, more than 

 twice as wide as petiole, the latter with carinae weak toward base; 

 second tergite narrow, subparallcl-sided, striate; compressed portion 

 of abdomen fully a third as deep as long, the third tergite distinctly 

 less deep than fourth; ovipositor scarcely twice as long as first tergite. 



Black; occiput, vertex, and front black, face brownish in middle; 

 clypeus, mandibles, and orbits (broadly and completely) yellow; 

 antennae black, scape and pedicel pale beneath; tcgulae and lower 

 angle of pronotum yellow; upper hind angle of pronotum, parapsidal 

 lobes anteriorly and laterally, and notauli (obscurely) brownish; 

 scutellum reddish; wings hyaline, venation fuscous; front and middle 

 legs pale testaceous, the coxae and trochanters especially so; hind 

 coxae testaceous, pale at apex and piceous at base; basal joint of 

 trochanter piceous, apical joint pale; femur fusco-testaceous, pale at 

 base and apex; tibia and tarsus fuscous, the former with a pale band 

 in the middle; all tergites black or piceous, yellowish at apex, those 

 beyond second broadly yellow at sides. 



Male.— Length. 6 mm., antennae 3.5 mm. In addition to the usual 

 secondary sexual characters, differs from female m having the face 

 entirely yellow, the color markings of the thorax yellow mstead of 

 brown and more extensive, embracing the entire prothorax, except 

 narrowly in the middle and a broad, interrupted, longitudinal stripe 

 on the mesopleurum; posterior ends of the notauli are broadly
