thirty jointed (tips broken), scape and pedicellum together nearly as long as the 

 first joint plus one-half of the second joint of the flagellum. Dorsulum dull, 

 sculptured nearly like the face, the punctures rather distinct; scutellum like 

 the dorsulum; mesopleura sculptured like the cheeks, the punctures more sepa- 

 rated, a broad oblique shallow groove near the posterior border on the upper 

 half, the groove and the area back of it largely smooth and polished, the upper 

 end of the groove transversely striate, the lovper end terminating in a pit; meta- 

 thorax appearing regularly reticulate with adjoining, shallow, indistinctly de- 

 fined punctures, the median groove of the metanotum shallow, not at all sharply 

 impressed, the surface of the metanotum almost obscured by silvery pubescence; 

 wings hyaline, stigma pale brown, nervures dark brown; first abcissa of the 

 radius a little more than two-thirds the length of the second abcissa; areolet 

 petiolate, quadrangular, the petiole as long as the shortest side of the areolet; 

 first transverse cubitus a little shorter than the second; first abcissa of the 

 cubitus beyond the first transverse cubitus a little shorter than the first trans- 

 verse cubitus; transverse median nervure received a little beyond the basal ner- 

 vure, the abcissa between it and the basal nervure about as long as the petiole 

 of the areolet; third abcissa of the diecoidal nervure nearly one-half as long 

 as the recurrent nervure; transverse median nervure of the posterior wings 

 broken or elbowed where the middle third joins the lower third. Abdomen 

 smooth, very minutely sculptured, rather subtle and shining. Pubescence sil- 

 very, very conspicuous only on the metanotum and scutellum, uniformly distrib- 

 uted elsewhere, shortest and least conspicuous on the mesopleura, legs, and 

 abdomen. Black; mandibles dirty yellow, apex dark brown; tegute, base of 

 ■wings, anterior legs, excepting coxte entirely, trochanters and base of femora 

 beneath, apical half of middle femora in part, tibise and tarsi of middle legs, 

 base of posterior tibias and metatarsi yellow; apical tarsal joints of anterior and 

 middle legs and tarsal joints of posterior legs, excepting base of second and third 

 joints which are pale, and basal third of metatarsus, brown; abdomen rufous, 

 except the petiole and greater portion of second and apical segments and apex of 

 penultimate segment, all of which are black; ovipositor exserted not much more 

 than one millimeter, pale castaneous, sheaths nearly black.

Anomalon paeneferrugineum, n. sp. 



Resembles edwardsii and nigriceps in the coarse sculpture of the metanotum. 



Female. — Length, 21 mm. Head shining; cheeks rather sparsely, indistinctly 

 punctured; face roughened, closely punctured, the punctures small, eye margins 

 sparsely, indistinctly punctured; point of the clypeus short; antennas over forty 

 j')inted (broken). Dorsulum shining, covered with distinct, separated punc- 

 tures; parapsidal grooves distinct, deeply impressed, terminating before the pos- 

 terior margin of the dorsulum, which is transversely striate; scutellum uneven,
