 N. M., Aug. 17, 1901 (H. Skinner). Aug. 8, 1900 (T. D. A. and W. 

 P. Cockered). Closely related to Bathycetes Scutellaria Cress. (Lam- 

 pronata) from which it is superficially separated by the comparative, 

 paucity of yellow markings, especially by the abscence of yellow on 

 mesopleurae, and on the face, also by the darker antennpe and the 

 abscence of scutellar mark, though one of the specimens of this 

 species has the scutellum and base of mesoplurse somewhat dark 

 ferruguous. Structurally this species is different by the curved 

 carina on metathorax, which in scutellaris in appreciably angular 

 near the spiracle, and by the more uniform and moderate sculp- 

 ture of the metanotum, which in scutellaris has a medial longitu- 

 dinal area rather coarsely rugulose. 



Blarriinaniella ariel n.sp. — Head indistinctly punctured, opaque; dor- 

 sulum shining, punctures separated, metathorax regulose, transverse carina 

 strong, median longitudinal carina? indistinct. 



% Length 10 mm. Clypeus with a few strong punctures, somewhat shining. 

 Face closely punctured almost shining, front more closely punctured, opaque. 

 Cheeks impunctate on the eye margins, distinctly punctured posteriorly; malar 

 space finely punctured, opaque. Mandibles shining, punctured. Dorsulum shin- 

 ing, distinctly punctured, and closely, on the anterior and posterior margin the 

 punctures are closer and smaller making the surface opaque. Metapleurse closely 

 and distinctly punctured above, regulose below. Punctures on metapleurse dis- 

 tinct, somewhat finer and closer than on dorsulum, especially so near the bor- 

 ders. The longitudinal carina on mesopleura?, strong, terminating abruptly about 

 half way up. Scutellum uniformly punctured. Metanotum rugulose somewhat 

 shining, the median longitudinal carina? crude and poorly defined. The trans- 

 verse carina strong, raised line separating metanotum from the pleune distinct 

 though slender. Metapleurse closely punctured, subopaque. Wings hyaline with 

 a dark cast. The basal half of the side of the areolet nearest the apex of the 

 wing, a short distance on the discocubital nervure beyond the middle, and the 

 second recurrent nervure hyaline; nervures dark brown, stigma paler. The 

 costa and other nervures near base of the wing pale to testaceous, the ex- 

 treme base yellow. First dorsal segment coriaceous, distinctly punctured near 

 apex, laterally. The spiracles not strongly produced the other dorsal segments 

 almost smooth. 



Black. Mandibles excepting apex, clypeus, a bifurcate mark on each side of 

 face, a triangular mark on each side of dorsulum anteriorly, greater part of coxse 

 and trochanters, excepting posterior pair; yellow. Femora, tibise and tarsi of 

 four anterior legs ; more or less ochraceous. Greater part of posterior femora and 

 and tibite ferruginous. Apex of the first, the second, third, fourth entirely and 

 almost all of fifth dorsal segments; brownish red.
