ferruginous to a great extent, the tibije thereof almost black, except the basal

 four anterior legs testaceous.

Pezomachus homalommoides, n. sp. 



Male. — Length, 4 mm. Head dullish ; cheeks shining, especially below, ap- 

 parently impunctate; face very dull, closely, minutely sculptured; clypeus 

 shining, with a few rather distinct punctures; malar space about as high as the 

 mandibles are broad at base ; antennaj twenty-seven jointed, scape and pedicel- 

 lum together distinctly shorter than the first joint of the flagellum. Thorax 

 dullish; dorsulum very closely sculptured, with only the faintest indications of 

 parapsidal grooves; mesopleura sculptured very much like the dorsulum, trav- 

 ersed by an oblique, rugulose groove, beneath which the sclerite is to a great ex- 

 tent smooth and polished, the upper sculptured area traversed obliquely by a 

 Tugulose linear space that is apparently not impressed; areola hexagonal, the 

 lateral angles below the middle, the upper sides therefore longer than the lower 

 sides, base slightly narrower than apex; basal area not very distinct, nearly 

 quadrate; petiolarea similar in outline to the areola, about as long as the areola 

 and basal area together; metapleura minutely rugulose; wings faintly brown- 

 ish, stigma and nervures dark brown, stigma with the basal fourth whitish; 

 areolet open behind. If complete it would apparently be pentangular; first ab- 

 cigga of the radius a little less than one-half the length of the second abcissa; 

 the transverse cubitus about one-half the length of the first abcissa of the ra- 

 dius; first abcissa of the cubitus beyond the transverse cubitus about one-half 

 the length of the transverse cubitus, the second abcissa of the cubitus sinuate 

 at base, nearly straight; second abcissa of the discoidal nervure, the co-called 

 first recurrent nervure, about one- half the length of the true recurrent nervure; 

 discocubital nervure imperfectly broken by the faintest indication of a stump of 

 a vein in the middle; transverse median nervure slightly beyond interstitial, al- 

 most exactly interstitial; transverse median nervure of the posterior wings 

 broken where the middle third joins the lower third. Abdomen dullish; the 

 petiole especially dull, rugulose longitudinally, so on the apical half, and nearly 

 distinctly striate; second abdominal segment rugulose, the succeeding segments 

 praooth. Covered with very short whitish pubescence that is nowhere very 

 distinct. Black ; scape and pedicellum, mandibles, except tips which are brown, 

 and legs brownish testaceous; apical margin of second abdominal segment and 

 third almost entirely testaceous; flagellum dark brown ; part of second abdomi- 

 nal segment not mentioned brown with some blackish.

Hemiteles (Diaglypta?) laphroscopoides, n. sp. 



Male. — Length, 4 mm. Head shining; face minutely sculptured; cheeks 

 smooth and polished, apparently without sculpture of any kind; malar space 

 distinctly higher than the mandibles are broad at base; antennse twenty-three 

 jointed, the joints distinctly separated, scape and pedicellum together a little 

 shorter than the first joint of the flagellum. Thorax, except the metathorax, 

 polished; dorsulum with rather distinct parapsidal grooves near the anterior 

 margin ; mesopleura with an oblique narrow groove on the lower half, the groove 

 almost bisecting the lower half transversely and not attaining the posterior bor- 

 der, a little above the middle of the posterior half of the mesopleura is a short,
