 shorter; eyes about as long as width of face; ocelli slightly larger; 

 notauli yellow only in front, and yellow of scutellum confined to a 

 nearly divided crescentic spot; middle as well as hind trochanters

Type-locality. — Clementon, New Jersey. 



Type.— Cat. No. 20277, U.S.N.M. 



One female and one male from type-locality. 



In Szepiigeti's table this species will run to Pseudocremastns Szep- 

 ligcti, and differs from the description of that genus in minor details 

 principally in venation. 



CREMASTUS (ZALEPTOPYGUS) HYALINIPENNIS (Cresson). 



Porizon hyalinipennis Cresson, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, vol. 4, 1872, p. 174. 

 A paratype female of this species is in the United States National 

 Museum and a niale also from the Bclfrage collection. It is easily 

 separable from allied species by the characters employed in the key, 



CREMASTUS (ZALEPTOPYGUS) GALLAECOLA, new species. 



Female. — Length 8 mm., antennae 4.5 mm., ovipositor 3.5 mm. 

 Head viewed from above considerably more than twice as wide as 

 long, temples rather strongly rounded but much narrowed; viewed 

 from in front much broader than long, face twice as broad as long 

 and much broader than greatest length of eye, elevated in middle,

 the mososternum, and the metaploura; pronotum obscurely striato-
