Genus Priocnemella Banks 



Priocnemella Banks, 1925, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 67, p. 337. Type: 

 Priocnemis (Priocnemella) fairchildi Banks; designated by Pate, 1946. 



Eragenia Banks, 1946, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., vol. 96, p. 421 (new synonymy). 

 Type: Eragenia infelix Banks; original designation. 



Clypeus broad, short, with a troughlike impression paralleUng its 

 lateroapical margin, the apical margin broadly truncate in the female, 

 in the male emarginate, truncate, or specialized; mentum of female 

 with a sparse brush of long slender hairs with curved tips; apex of 

 front tibia on the hind side with a spinelike bristle that is stronger 

 than its neighbors and distinctly recurved (best developed in the 

 female); dorsal edge of hind tibia almost or quite smooth; under side 

 of last tarsal segment without distinct preapical bristles; propodeum 

 without long erect hairs; first tergite without a line separating the 

 epipleuron; female without a pygidial area. 



This is a compact genus of Neotropic species, one of which reaches 

 southern Texas. Besides this one, the species of which I have seen 

 the types are Ageniella isolata Banks, 1925, A. rufothorax Banks 1925, 

 A. hequaerti Banks 1945, A. caloptera Banks 1945, A. delila Banks 

 1944, A. amoena Banks 1946, Priocnemis fairchildi Banks 1925, 

 Eragenia infelix Banks 1946, and Lissagenia insignis Banks 1946. 

 Except for fairchildi, these are all new combinations in Priocnemella. 



Priocnemella tabascoensis (Cameron), new combination 



Pseudagenia tabascoensis Cameron, 1891, in Biologia Centrali Americana, Hymen- 

 optera, vol. 3, p. 172, cf. Type: c?, Teapa, Tabasco, Mexico (London). 



Ageniella rufula Banks, 1945, Bol. Ent. Venezolana, vol. 4, p. 117, 9 (new syn- 

 onymy). Type:?, Minca to Cincinnati, San Lorenzo Mt., Colombia 

 (Cambridge). 



Male: Forewing 5.8 mm. long; propodeum mat, without wrinkles. 



Female: Forewing 6.7 to 8.2 mm. long; propodeum finely, weakly 

 wrinkled, the pattern of wrinkling varying in the specimens at hand 

 as follows: wrinkling transverse and somewhat irregularly reticulate
