Priocnemoides pallidipennis, new species. 



Dull black ; head broad ; clypeus rounded below ; first and second joint of 

 antennae black, rest yellowish; third joint much longer than the first; a line to 

 the anterior ocellus, this fully two diameters from the laterals, and these much 

 nearer to each other than to eyes ; vertex, nearly straight across ; pronotum 

 angulate behind ; metanotum long and with a median groove, transversely 

 wrinkled behind ; abdomen hairy at tip, and a few hairs on venter ; legs 

 brownish toward tips; long spur on hind tibiae scarcely more than one fourth 

 of the metatarsus. Wings pale yellowish, darker on tips ; second submarginal 

 cell a little longer than broad, receiving the first recurrent vein beyond the 

 middle ; third submarginal longer than second, a little narrowed above, receiving 

 the second recurrent beyond middle, this vein arising from a little beyond 

 middle of anal cell, only a little curved ; marginal cell rounded at tip. In hind- 

 wings the cubitus arises l)eyond end of the cell.
