ART. 26 WASPS OF SUBFAMILY PSENINAE MALLOCH 11 



agree with it in all respects. The characters in the kej;^ should suffice 

 for the identification of the sexes. 



Originall}^ described from Colorado and subsequently recorded 

 from Nebraska. I have examined specimens in the National Mu- 

 seum, from Boulder, Colo., mostly with definite location as the 

 campus of the university, and the months June, July, and August 

 (T. D. A. Cockerell). 



PSEN (PSENEO) CAROLINA Rohwer 



Psen (Mitnesa) punctata var. Carolina Rohwb:r, Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, 

 vol. 12, p. 103, 1910. (Female.) 



Originally described as a variety of punctatus^ I consider it prac- 

 tically certain that this is a valid species and accept it as such, though 

 the discovery of the male is desirable to confirm this decision. 



The pale antennal scape and tibiae and tarsi, coupled with the red 

 petiole, the distinctly yellowish facial hairs, narrower face, and rather 

 greater size, 14—15 mm, distinguish the species from punctatus. 



Localities, Raleigh, N.C., type, and Fluvanna County, Va.

PSEN (PSENEO) FULVIPES, new species 



Plate 1, Figxtre 3 



Female. — Shining black. Antennae including the scape and basal 

 five segments of the flagellum fulvous-yellow, the apical section of the 

 flagellum dark brown. Lobes of prothorax fulvous. Petiole of 

 abdomen red. Legs except the coxae fulvous. Wings grayish hya- 

 line, veins and stigma dark brown. 



Frons glossy, sparsely punctured, a deep impressed line extending 

 entirely across behind the posterior ocelli and curving forward outside 

 of each to its anterior edge; carinate line from anterior ocellus to 

 lower level of antennal insertions complete ; basal segment of flagel- 

 lum subequal to the next two in length. Mesonotum and scutellum 

 rather coarsely rugoso-punctate, the former appearing quite coarsely 

 striate centrally behind; propodeum with a rather large central 

 glossy diamond-shaped area laterad of which it is rather finely ru- 

 goso-reticulate, the areas laterad of the enclosure quite coarsely ru- 

 goso-reticulate ; upper portion of the mesopleura (eps 2) longitudi- 

 nally rugoso-punctate, the lower portion vertically rugoso-punctate. 

 Petiole convex above, the edges not sharp, the sides with a narrow 

 shallow sulcus; pygidium narrower than in punctatus, with a single 

 series of punctures on each side. Otherwise as punctatus. 



Length, 11 mm.
