third of fifth, dorsal segment and all of the following, dorsal segments 

 mostly blackish; otherwise virtually as in the preceding species. 1 



Tijpe-locality. — Crows Landing, California. 



Type.— Cat. No. 14749, U.S.N.M. 



Labeled the same as T. epischnise Viereck and received through 

 the same channels. 



This may j^rove to be the male of the preceding species. 



XYLOPHRURIDEA, new genus. 



Agrees with Schmiedelaiecht's definition of Xyloplirurus (Foerster) 

 Schmiedeknecht as given in Genera Insectorum, except that the 

 manchbles are not gibbose at base, in the short parapsidal furrows 

 which are indicated only anteriorly, and in the round propodeal 

 spiracles. The sternauli in this genus are very poorly defined so that 

 this might be taken to be a Pimpline were it not for the traces of 

 Cryptine sternauli and the Cryptine habitus.

 present, other carinse virtually wanting, the median, longitudinal 

 carinas somewhat represented between the basal, transverse carina 

 and base of propodeum, making an ill circumscribed basal area; 

 exserted portion of ovipositor hardly half as long as the abdomen.
