of the posterior femora, the fewer spines on the anterior and median fem- 

 ora, and the longer ovipositor. 



Size rather large ; form rather robust. Head short and broad ; vertex strongly 

 declivent; fastigium not half as wide as the first antennal joint, narrowly 

 sulcate ; interspace between the eyes equal to about twice the length of the 

 eye ; antenna? rather stout, exceeding the body in length ; eyes pyriform 

 in outline ; palpi with the terminal joint curved. Pronotum strongly 

 arched transversely; anterior and posterior margins truncate, lateral lobes 

 inferiorly subtruncate. Meeonotum and metanotum laterally extending 

 below the pronotum. Abdomen briefly but uniformly hirsute; cerci not 

 half the length of the ovipositor, basally stout, apically attenuate; oviposi- 

 tor about four-fifths the length of the posterior femora, stout basally, taper- 

 ing to the apex, which is slightly upturned and rounded below. Anterior 

 femora one and a third times the length of the pronotum, armed on the 

 anterior margin with a single preapical spine; tibias unarmed above. 

 Median femora very slightly exceeding the anterior femora in length, un- 

 armed below and with a single genicular spine; tibia? armed above with 

 two pair of spines. Posterior femora rather stout, considerably shorter 

 than the body, three and a half times as long as broad, apical portion 

 rather stout, inferior margins minutely serrulate; tibite about one and one- 

 sixth the length of femora, spurs four pairs in number, margins distinctly 

 serratodentate, median inner calcaria distinctly longer than the external, 

 inferior surface with a single median spine in addition to the apical pair; 

 metatarsi about as long as the other tarsal joints united; third joint about 

 half the length of the second. 



General color, tawny-olive, suffused on the pronotum with bistre, each ab- 

 dominal segment posteriorly edged with the same. Ovipositor ferruginous. 

 Tarsi pale cinnamon. 



Measurements: Length of body, 18.5 mm.; length of pronotum, 5.5mm.; 

 greatest width of pronotum, 5.7 mm. ; length of posterior femora, li mm. ; 

 length of ovipositor, 12 mm. 

 Ceutophilus arizonensis Scudder. 



Magdalena mountains, Socorro county, N. M.; July, 1894, F. H. Snow. One 

 male. 

 Ceutophilus neomesicanus Scudder. 



Clark county, Kan., 1962 ft.; June, F. H. Snow. One male. This specimen 

 fully agrees with the structural characters of neomexicanue, as given by 

 Scudder, but differs slightly in the color, which, however, appears in this 

 case to be of very trifling importance. 

 Ceutophilus ater Scudder. 



Douglas county, Kan.; April, F. H. Snow. One male. This individual 

 agrees very well with the specimens from San Miguel county. New Mexico, 

 referred by me to this species, except for its paler coloration. 

 Phrixocnemis franciscanus, n. sp. 



Types: Male and female. Humphrey's Peak, at base, 9500 ft., Coconino 

 county, Arizona: August, F. H. Snow. This species and the following 

 can readily be distinguished from the other species of Phrixocnemis by the 

 larger posterior tibia^ which are about equal to the femora in length. The 

 tibia? are not expanded above as they are in validus and bellicosus, while 

 the comparatively straight tibiae removes them from truculentus. 



Male. — Size large; form very stout, subfusiform. Head broad, anteriorly 

 flattened ; occiput rounded and descending vertically to the interocular
