Hemiteles (Diaglypta?) manitouensis, n. sp. 



Male — Length, 5 mm. Head shining and distinctly punctured; face closely 

 punctured ; clypeus not separated from the face by a suture and sparsely punc- 

 tured ; malar space about ae high as the mandibles are broad at base and sparsely 

 punctured; front, vertex and cheeks polished and sparsely punctured, the punc- 

 tures on the cheek sparser than on the front, those on the front sparser than on the 

 clypeus; ocelli almost forming an equilateral triangle, distance between the pos- 

 terior ocelli a little less than the distance between the eye margin and nearest 

 ocellus; scape and pedicellum together a little shorter than the first joint of the 

 flagellum. Thorax shining; dorsulum and mesopleura polished, the dorsulum 

 with the parapsidal grooves impressed only near the anterior margin, the surface 

 sparsely, indistinctly punctured; mesopleura sparsely, rather distinctly punc- 

 tured, the short transverse fovea adjoining the middle of the posterior oaargin of 

 the mesopleura present, the cryptine groove distinct, oblique, extending from be- 

 low the mesopleural mesosternal edge anteriorly to above this edge posteriorly 

 and near the posterior margin of the mesopleura; metanotum rugose, distinctly 

 areolated, the basal area practically crowded out by the high and short areola 

 which is nearly twice as broad as long, and rather imperfectly hexagonal, the 

 petiolarea is nearly twice as long as broad and occupies the greater portion of the 

 middle fourth of the posterior face of the segment, the lateral basal areas large 

 and triangular; metapleura partly polished and sparsely punctured, partly ru- 

 gose; wings slightly browaish, nearly clear, stigma rather pale brown, the nervures 

 dark brown; transverse cubitus about twice the length of the first abcissa of the 

 cubitus beyond the transverse cubitus; second abcissa of the cubitus beyond 

 the transverse cubitus equal to the length of the transverse cubitus, the first 

 abcissa of the cubitus beyond the transverse cubitus ie as long as the flagellum 

 is wide at base; the discocubital nervure with a trace of a stump of a vein in the 

 middle ; the transverse median nervure in the anterior wings received by the 

 median nervure a little beyond the insertion of the basal nervure; transverse 

 median nervure in the posterior wings broken a short distance below the middle. 

 Abdomen shining; petiole with the basal two-thirds constricted rather suddenly, 

 parallel-sided or nearly and throughout not much wider than one-half the width 

 of the petiole at apex, the apical margin of the petiole distinctly, longitudinally 

 striate; the segments beyond the petiole smooth and apparently without sculp- 

 ture. Covered with inconspicuous whitish pubescence, the pleura appearing bare. 

 Black; femora and tibite of anterior and middle legs almost entirely brownish 

 testaceous, the tarsi thereof more or less fuscous; posterior legs with the femora 

 and tibia^ almost entirely ferruginous, the femora brownish above in part, the 

 tibia? brownish at base and apex, the tarsi thereof entirely dark brown ; second, 

 third and greater part of fourth abdominal segments ferruginous, the succeed- 

 ing segments dark brown with pale margins.
