SuiK'rfaiiiilies iu Ww llymenoptera, 



and generic synopsen of the families 



Th ynnida^ Myrniosidfe, and Mutillidte. 



Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, vii, No. 1, Mar., 



1899, pp. -ib-GO. 



In this paper Mr. Ashmead lias dividod the 



llymenoptera into ten .superfamilies: (I) Apoi- 



dea, (II) Sphegoidea, (III) Vespoidea, (IV) 



Formieoidea, (V) I'roctotrypoidea, (VI) Cy- 



nipoidea, (VII) Chaleidoidea, (VIII) Ichnen- 



monoidea, (IX) Sirieoidea, and (X) Tenthre- 



dinoidea. Generic table.s are given for the 



families Thynnidai, Myrmosidse, and Mutil- 



lida'. 



Fifty-three genera are tabulated. Si.xteen 

 new genera are defined: Iswaroides, Eplm- 

 toimnn, Tyjihoctes, Odontumutilla, Dolkhomu- 

 lilla, Bothrionmtilla, Noinhrplunjun. Pi/rrhniiiti- 

 tillu, Eurymutnia, Hop!oitiiitiU(t, Jhtsi/iiniUnd. 

 Allomutilla, Trugagpidia, Alloiicurioii, and Mi- 

 cromutUla. 



Four new species belonging to the 



genus Plenoculus Fox. 



Pmjchc, vni, No. 275, Mar., 1899, pp. 337-339. 



Gives a synoptic table for recognizing the 



known species of Plenoculus and describes 



4 new species: P. punctatus, P. abdominalis, 



P. iiiffcr, and P. albipcs. 



On the genera of the Cleonymidfe. 



Pi-oc. Ent. Sue. Wash., iv, No. 3 (issued May 

 24, 1899), pp. 200-206. 

 Mr. A.shmead separates this family into 4 

 subfamilies (1) Chalcedectinse, (2) Cleony- 

 minse, (3) Pelecinellina?, and (4) Colotrech- 

 nina. Thirty-six genera are tabulated, of 

 which 3 are new: Chalcidiscctis, Tomicubia, 

 and Eutrichosoma. 



- — On the genera of the Eucharida?. 



Proc. Ent. Soc. Il'asA., iv, No. 3 (issuedMay 

 24, 1899), pp. 235-242. 

 Tabulates all the known genera, 23 in num- 

 ber. Two genera are new: Pseudometagea 

 and Dicu'lothorax. 



Classification of the old family Chal- 



cidida?. 



Proc. Ent. Soc. IlVrs/i., iv, No. 3 (issued May 

 24, 1899) , pp. 242-249. 

 In this paper Mr. Ashmead treats the old 

 family as a superfamily, Chalcidoidea, and 

 then divides it into 14 distinct minor families, 

 as already proposed by him in a previous 

 jiaper. Tables for recognizing these families.

 and the subfamilies into whidi tbcy are 

 again divided, are given: Agaonid;e, Tory- 

 midic with 5 suljfamilies, Chah'idid;e willi 2 

 subfamilies, Eurytomida', Perilanipida', Ku- 

 charida', Miseogasterida' with 4 subfamilies,

 with 3 su))families, I'teromalidre with 5 sub- 

 families, Ehismida-, Euloi)bida' witli 4 sub- 

 families, Trichogrammida' with 2 subfamlies, 

 and Mymaridie with 2 subfamilies. 



Classification of the entomophilous 



wasps, or the superfamily Sphegoidea. 

 Paper No. 1. 



Canadian I':nt<)mol(></ist,\x\i, No. (>, .huie, 

 1899, pp. 14.5-155. 

 Mr. Ashmead gives an introdurtinn on the 

 arrangement of these wasps 1)y previous au- 

 thors, exhibits the scheme of arrangement 

 proposed by Dr. Franz Kohl, and divides the 

 s\iperfamily into 12 families, giving a table 

 for their recognition. The families are: Oxy- 

 belidee, Crabronidie, Pamphredonidee, Bem- 

 becidfe, Larrida\ Philanthida', Trypoxylidse, 

 Mellinidte, Nyssonidae, Stizida, Sphegidae, 

 and Ampulicidse. 



A generic table of the family Panur- 



gid;e; a reply to Mr. Cockerell's critique 

 on the segregation of Perdita Cockerell. 

 Psyche, vni, No. 278, June, 1899, pp. 372- 

 376. 

 In this paper Mr. Ashmead points out par- 

 ticularly the differences between Cockerellia 

 and Perdita: shows that four of Mr. Cocker- 

 ell's recent new bee genera belonging in this 

 group are synonyms, and concludes by tabu- 

 lating the genera of the Panurgidse. Nine- 

 teen genera are thus tabulated. 



-,. — Classification of tlic bees, or the 

 superfamily Apoidea. 



Trans. Am. Ent Soc, Phila., xxvi, May- 

 June, 1899, pp. 49-100. 

 Divides the Apoidea into 14 families, some 

 of which are again divided into subfamilies. 

 Dichotomous tables for recognizing the fami- 

 lies, subfamilies, and the bee genera of the 

 world are given. In all, 216 genera arc tabu- 

 lated, of which 19 are new.
