thorax duller, propodeuni elongate and not very high, very fine- 

 ly transversely rugulose at the sides and posteriorly, and with- 

 out clothing of erect hairs. Legs not noticeably hair}-. Length 

 3 mm. 



This s])ecies differs greatly in superficial appearance from E. 

 solitariiis, which has a ferruginous thorax, hut structurally it is 

 rather closely allied.

Ncodryiints. 



This name in the list of species, on page 29 of Pt. i, three

Dryiiiiis Latr. 



The generic characters of female Dryiiiiis, as given by differ- 

 ent authors, disagree so in such essential points, that without 

 specimens or an adequate description of the type species, I can- 

 not fix these characters. Latreille in his characterization of the 

 genus in 1809 clearly confounded characters peculiar to Goiiato- 

 piis with those of Dryiiiiis. His original description in 1805 ^^ 

 not accessible to me. Marshall in his paper describing D. tar- 

 racoiiciisis gives no c'haracters of use to me, but the figure 

 of this insect is useful for generic purposes. Haliday shows well 

 the distinction between the mouth-parts of Dryiiiiis and Goiiafo- 

 pus. I herewith give some of the diverse characterizations of 

 Dryiiiiis as given bv different authors.
