carina, a longitudinal carina down the disc each side of the middle, these carinae 

 nearly parallel at least on the posterior half and forming an oblong or nearly 

 oblong area, lateral areas partly defined by short, imperfect carinse ; metapleura 

 more closely punctured than the mesopleura; wings distinctly yellowish, nervures 

 and stigma pale brown, the stigma paler than the nervures; discocubical nervure 

 without a vein ; transverse cubitus a little longer than the abcissa of the cubitus 

 beyond it; transverse median nervure in the posterior wings broken only by an 

 indistinct nervure. Abdomen very closely punctured ; the first segment with 

 two longitudinal carinte, with a transverse groove to each side of the carinae at 

 the apex of the segment; the impressed abdominal segments almost uniformly 

 punctured throughout, the oblique impressions punctured like the raised portion, 

 forming an angle of about sixty degrees with the base of the segment, attaining 

 the base but not the apex, rather abruptly diverted to the sides near the apex of 

 the segment; no indication of an apical transverse ridge on the segments, sides 

 of the impressed segments somewhat impressed near the middle ; ovipositor about 

 10 mm. long. Inconspicuously sericeous. Black; greater part of clypeus acd 

 mandibles dark chestnut; a spot on metapleura and apical margins of abdomen 

 colored like the clypeus and mandibles; legs to a great extent testaceous, tinted 

 with ferruginous; part of anterior coxa?, anterior and middle trochanters whitish 

 yellow; tegula? and lateral edge of prothorax on posterior half whitish; anterior 

 and middle tarsi ferruginous, posterior tibite and tarsi brown, the former whitish 

 on the outer side, except at apex, the tarsal joints whitish at base; ovipositor 

 dark brown, the sheaths black.

Glypta aprilis, n. sp. 



Female. — Length, 9 mm. Head shining; face almost uniformly, very closely 

 punctured: the clypeus sparsely, indistinctly pitted; cheeks more shining than 

 the face, rather sparsely, indistinctly punctured; malar space about as high as 

 half the length of the first joint of the flagellum; antennae over twenty- seven 

 jointed (broken), scape and pedicellum together distinctly shorter than the first 

 joint of the flagellum. Dorsulum nearly as in succineipennis; mesopleura nearly 

 as in succineipennis; metapleura rather sparsely punctured; the disc of the 

 metanotum about as in succineipennis, the longitudinal carinae not well defined, 

 sides of metanotum rather sparsely, coarsely punctured ; wings blackish, nervures 

 and stigma dark brown, blackish ; neuration almost exactly as in succineipennis. 

 Abdomen very nearly as in succineipennis, duller; ovipositor a little longer than 

 the abdomen. Pubescence as in succineipennis. Black; clypeus largely, tuber- 

 cles, tegulte and base of wings white ; legs brownish testaceous, except as follows : 

 Claws of four anterior legs brown, tibife of posterior legs whitish, brownish behind, 

 a broad brown band at apex and a brown band near the base, tarsi of posterior 

 legs brown, the basal joints whitish at base; lower posterior portion of meso- 

 pleura castaneous; metapleura colored nearly like the legs, but with a distinct 

 rufous tint : ovipositor and sheaths colored as usual.

Glypta brunneisigna, d. sp. 



Female. — Length, 6.5 mm. Head as in aprilis; the malar space distinctly a 

 little less in height than half the length of the first joint of the flagellum; an- 

 tenntB over thirty-four jointed (broken). Thorax nearly as in aprilis; the dorsu- 

 lum rather dullish and very closely punctured ; metanotum very closely punctured,
