2. Ncodrviiiiis diihiosiis sp. nov. 



This may l)e a variety of the precechng", and ])Ossil)l\ will be 

 found to he parasitic on another si)ecies of F'tilj^^orid. It diiTers 

 from A'. ari::;oiiicus in having- the first, third, fourth and fifth 

 joints of the antennae ferrug^inous, the sixth is also partly red- 

 dish, the small second joint being dark brown. The front fe- 

 mora are more extensively reddish brown, the tiioiae almost en- 

 tirely so, the middle femora are reddish at the tips, the posterior 

 ones more widelx so, the base of the hind tibiae being of the 

 same colour. The reticulate rugositv of the head is stronger and 

 the surface appears to be rather more shining. 



HAP). Xogales, Arizona; a single female was captured on an 

 oak tree in Augtist.

 what wider than this. Pronotum rather strongly rounded laterally, 

 compressed at the sides posteriorly, transversely constricted at the 

 apex, raised on its hinder portion, but not strongly; the surface 

 is dull, the sculpture excessively fine, hardly visible under a 

 strong lens, and much finer than I hat of the head. Mesonotum 

 dull, except the polished neck, which may be concealed beneath 

 the pronotum, the surfpcc very minutely shagreened, the parap- 

 sidal furrows fine, slightly convergent posteriorly almost reach- 

 ing the hind margin ; propodeum very densely reticulatcly rugose.
