 Paiiurgiiiiis bakeri < ' l i ; 



Three males, agreeing with the description of bakeri, the sculpture 

 of the metathorax is variable, the enclosure at best poorly defined, 

 in two specimens not at all, the metathorax being uniformly rugu- 

 lose. In one the lower angles of the face adjoining the clypeus 

 bear a small yellow spot, in another there is a short yellowish line 

 on anterior tibia?. This species is closely related to P. califomieus 

 Cress., from which it differs in sculpture, stature and color, bakeri 

 being black while califomieus is more brownish. In califomieus 

 the punctuation on dorsulum is sparse and the metathorax has a 

 smooth spot on each side. Among eight specimens (type and co- 

 types S ) all but one has the clypeus entirely yellow, the individual 

 with but a median spot is marked "var." some have a small supra- 

 clypeal spot and one has well defined lateral face marks. 



Pan in n i mis iiigriiius n. sp. — Related to P. pauper Cress., from which ii 

 differs in the coarser punctuation of face and dorsulum. Metathorax entirely 

 opaque granular to finely rugulose. disk only sightly impressed. 



2 Length 6 mm. — Face roughly punctured almost confiuently, vertex with the 

 punctures more distinctly separated, sculpture of cheeks indistinct, clypeus with 

 large, close deep punctures. Labrum subtruncate anteriorly, concave, shining. 

 Mesopleurse rugulose. Dorsulum very closely punctured slightly impressed me- 

 dially and anteriorly, scutellum punctured much the same. Metathorax opaque 

 finely granularly rugulose. Wings hyaline, with a dark cast, stigma and nervines 

 dark brown, first recurrent nervure received by the second submarginal cell about 

 as far beyond the first transverse cubitus as the length of the first abcissa of the 

 radius, second recurrent nervure received by the second cubital cell, a short dis- 

 tance before the second transverse cubitus. Base of first abdominal segment 

 polished with very sparse minute punctures, the segments with the raised half 

 indistinctly finely sculptured. Entire insect more or less covered with short 

 whitish to yellowish pubescence.
