HYMENOPTERA OF AMERICA. [PART I. 



Var. (probable). Posterior margin of the prothorax also bor- 

 dered with yellow '. / 



I have never seen the males. 



//,,,, a . ,/,,/:— Th\> species recalls the European E. pomifor- 

 mis much more than the E.fraternus, by its smaller size, by the 

 body being a little velvety, and by its transparent wings, also by 

 it.- petiole being shorter and more enlarged than in the E.fra- 

 ternus, and at times also divided by a groove. One might ask 

 whether E. globulosus may not be a type derived from the 

 European E. pomiformis, which may have transmigrated to 

 A merica. 



It differs from the J?, americanus by having different mark- 

 ings and by its black antennae ; from E. Iturbide by its abdomen, 

 which has not the rimmed border on the second segment, and by 

 it- differently marked clypeus, lor it has all the superior part, 

 especially laterally, marked with yellow, while in the E. Iturbide, 

 the yellow upper spot is in the middle, not marginal; the clypeus 

 is also more shining, less strongly punctured, etc. 



Huh. The interior of the United States. Illinois, Wisconsin, 

 prairies (6 %). Great Slave Lake (British America, 9).
