Genus MACROPHYA Dahlbom. 



MACROPHYA ZABRISKIEI, new species. 



Female. — Length 8 mm. Related to xanihonota Rohwer, but may 

 be separated from it by the follomng characters : Clypeus and labrum 

 all 3^ellow; postocellar line distinctly less than the ocelloccipital line; 

 mesepisterniim entirely black; abdomen entirely black; sheath 

 parallel sided, apex rounded; stigma truncate apically; venation dark 

 brown; four anterior legs below coxae entirely pale; posterior tarsi 

 entirely pale. Besides the color zabriskiei may be separated from 

 alba by the arcuate emargination or the clypeus and shape of sheath. 



Male. — Length 6.5 mm. The male agrees with the female, except 

 that the clypeus is subsquarely emarginate. Hypopygidium broadly 

 rounded apically. 



Long Island, New York. One female and two males collected by 

 J. L. Zabriskie from the Ashmead collection. One male from Canada, 

 C. F.Baker collection. Named for J. L. Zabriskie, the collector of the 

 types.

MACROPHYA ALBA (MacGillivray). 



Macrophya pulchella alba MacGillivray, Can. Ent., vol. 27, 1895, p. 285. 

 Macrophya zonata Konow, Wien. Ent. Zeit., vol. 18, 1899, p. 44. 



This species was described as a variety of pulchella by MacGillivray, 

 but it is distinct enough to rank as a species. The mere fact that 

 Konow did not like the name is not sufficient for him to give the 

 species a new one. 



MACROPHYA XANTHONOTA, new species. 



Related to alba (MacGillivray) , but may be separated by postocellar 

 line being subequal with the ocelloccipital line (in alba the postocellar 

 line is distinctly shorter) and the black coxae. From epinota (Nor- 

 ton), which it also resembles, it may be separated by obsolete antennal 

 furrows, pale spot on mesepisternum, and other characters. 



Female. — Length 9 mm. Labrum sub truncate, the angles rounded; 

 clypeus deeply arcuately emarginate, lobes triangular; supraclypeal 

 foveas punctiform and not connected with the antennal foveas; 

 antennal and postocellar furrows obsolete, as is also the middle fovea; 

 antennae of an intermediate length; head and thorax punctato-granu- 

 lar; stigma angulate near base, tapering to apex; abdomen impunc- 

 tate; sheath straight above, obliquely truncate apically, tai:)cring to
