G. A. LINEATULUS. — Black ; anterior pairs of f.ct honoy- 

 yellow; tergum with minute lines. 



Inhabits Indiana. 



Body black, sparsely punctured : palpi whitisli : thorax with 

 two deeply impressed Hues, uniting behind : wings hyaline : nor- 

 vures fuscous : scute! at base with a dilated indentation : nieta- 

 thorax with raised lines : abdomen gradually tapering to the 

 base: tergum on the three basal joints, with numerous, small, 

 longitudinal, raised lines ; fourth and following segments with 

 much more minute transverse ones : feet, anterior j»air.s entirely 

 honey-yellow; posterior pair black, the incisures yellowish ; j)o.s- 

 terior tarsi yellowish.

This has some resemblance to mrllipcs nob., wliich, however, 

 has the posterior thighs thickened and with an obvious tooth on 

 their inferior edge. 



The lineations of the tergum of the three basal segments dis- 

 tinguish this species.

 pressed lines on each segment.

 tibiiX) at tip and annulus near the base, and posterior halves of the 

 tarsal joints black.

 the impressed lines of the tergum are very obli<|ue, and tin- 

 winss are destitute of the small second cubital cellule. 



8. A. EMARUIN.VTUS uob. Contrib. Mad. Lyceum, p. 7i>. — 

 This species is very remarkable by the pronunence of the head 

 in front of the insertion of the antennae, which hence appear to 

 be situated in a deep foveola ; this character, together with the
