PONTANIA LUCIDAE, new species. 



Related to Pontama consors Marlatt, but may be separated by its 

 larger size and different conformation of the head. In coxisors the 

 postocellar and ocellocular lines are subequal. The gall is quite 

 different. 



Female. — Length, 5.5 mm. Clypeus deeply, narrowly emarginate, 

 the emargination narrower than the lobes, lobes broadly rounded 

 apically; supraclypeal foveas small, punctiform; supraclypeal area 

 triangular in outline, gently convex; middle fovea oval in outline, 

 small, well defined; frontal crest rather strong, gently emarginate; 

 antenna! furrows complete from above the crest to just beyond the 

 ocelli; ocellar basin defined, the lower wall strong, the lateral walls 

 poorly defined, a median fun*ow from the anterior ocellus; posto- 

 cellar area defined laterally by the punctiform ending of the antennal 

 furrows; postocellar Une distinctly longer than the ocellocular line; 

 antennae stout, the third joint somewhat shorter than the fourth; 

 stigma long, gentl}'^ rounded below; inner tooth of claw stout, not 

 as long as the outer one; sheath stout, of the type of group III; cerci 

 long, not tapering. Black; ch'peus, labrum, mandibles (except 

 piceous apices), angles of pronotum, and tegulse whitish; orbits, 

 supraclj^peal area, two lines on mesoscutum, spot on scutellum; 

 abdomen (except dorsal middle) and legs (except the infuscate apices 

 of tibiae and tarsi) testaceous. Wings hyaline; venation dark brown. 



Male. — Length, 4.5 mm. Characters of the head as in the female; 

 antennae stouter. Procidentia broader than long, apex broadly 

 rounded; hypopygidium long, tapering to an obtusely pointed apex. 

 Black; (clypeus, labrum) mandibles (except piceous apices), angles 

 of pronotum and tegulae whitish; flagellum beneath, supraclypeal 

 area, orbits (except inner superior), venter, legs (except the infus- 

 cate apices of hind tibiae and tarsi) testaceous. Wings hyaline; 

 venation dark brown.

 Salix lucida, bv A. Cosens.

PONTANIA AGAMA, new species. 



Related to P. parva (Cresson), but the conformation of head is dif- 

 ferent, as will be seen by the following description. 



Female. — Length 3.5 mm. Labrum broadly rounded, the apex 

 depressed; clypeus broad, arcuately emarginate, the lobes low,
