different result the figures and description of longiceps not being as 

 detailed as might be desired. The differences in host and locality 

 are not in themselves especially significant. My specimens differ 

 from H. tarsalis Horvath in their much larger size. 



Because of the dubious character of the determination, and even 

 more because of the paucity of information concerning the Polyctc- 

 nidce in American publications, I present figures of the species. A 

 detailed description may well be omitted, but I may note that the 

 length of the females is 4.5 mm. and of the males 3.8 mm., the two 

 sexes differing otherwise chiefly in the more slender and pointed 

 abdomen of the male and in the exserted genitalia of the latter sex.
