Type.—U.S.'NM. No. 58296. 



Type locality. — Calvert, Tex. 



Described from two females. The type was collected on Hetero 

 theca subaxillaris by F. C. Bishopp in October; the paratype was taken 

 at College Station, Tex., October 11, 1936. 



Apparently related to magnus but is not so stout; it differs further 

 in having the galea much longer, the temple much narrower, and the
