coarsely reticulate; dorsal aspect of the propodeum with oblique 

 longitudinal carinae, posterior face with the usual V-shaped fovea; 

 abdomen opaque ^\ath a number of large separate punctures; legs of 

 the normal type; pygidium about one and one-third times as long as 

 the basal width, gradually narrowed to a sub truncate apex; third 

 cubital cell on the radius but little shorter than the distance between 

 the second transverse cubitus and the first recurrent vein. Black; 

 margin of the pronotum, tubercule, a line on the anterior portion of 

 the scutellum, narrowed apically bands on the first to the fourth seg- 

 ments, interrupted on the second and fifth, yellowish wJdte; legs 

 black, the four anterior femora beneath and the posterior femora

Amatitlan, Guatemala. Described from one female collected by 

 W. P. Cockerell, February, 1912. 



Type.— Cat. No. 15083, U.S.N.M. 



NOTOGLOSSA PYRURA, new species. 



Judging from the descriptions this species is closely allied to argen- 

 teopilosus Cameron but may be easily separated from it by the squamae 

 which have the inner posterior margin lobate with the lobe extending 

 posteriorly beyond the curved spine. 



Female. — Length, 4 mm. Anterior margin of the clypeus truncate 

 in the middle, biemarginate laterally so there is a lateral, triangularly- 

 shaped tooth; clypeus sparsely punctured; the interantennal line 

 slightly shorter than the antennocular line; head subshiny with well 

 separated, distinct, medium sized punctures; ocelli in a low triangle; 

 the ocellocular line distinctly shorter than the interocellar Une; inner 

 orbits slightly depressed and more sparsely punctured than the rest of 

 the head; antennae short, the third antemial joint slightly longer than 

 the fourth; anterior margin of the pronotum sharply carinate, inter- 

 rupted in the middle, laterally subdentate; mesonotum sculptured 

 like the head; mesepisternum shiny, punctate above, striato-punc- 

 tate below; squamae and spines about as in argenteopilosus Cameron ^ 

 but differs as mentioned above ; dorsal aspect of the propodeum with 

 five obhque carinae ; posterior aspect of the propodeum defined later- 

 ally by sharp carinae, transversely striato-punctate; the median fovea 

 U-shaped with the carina from its apex to the ventral aspect of the 

 posterior face; anterior femora simple; bases of four posterior tibiae 

 rather coarsely spined, the longer calcarium of the posterior tibiae but 

 little shorter than the post-basitarsis; abdomen shmy with distinct 

 well separated punctures, basal segment depressed in the middle; 

 pygidium broad, the surface rugose, the apex narrowly rounded. 

 Black; mandibles, apex of scape, pronotum, tubercules, two spots on
