INSECTS OF BEULAH, NEW MEXICO. S7 



Ilarrinianiella minor n. sp. — Fare opaque, finely punctured, dorsu'lum 



with poorly defined pai'apsidal grooves, not extending to the middle, more shin- 

 ing than face and more distinctly punctured, metauotum rugulose, transverse 

 carina distinct, the longitudinal carina? imperfect. 



% Length 5 mm. Face indistinctly punctured, cheeks obscurely sculptured, 

 shining, clypeus somewhat shining. Dorsulum punctured, the space between the 

 parapsidal grooves more opaque and closely punctured than the rest of the me- 

 sonotum. Mesopleura? closely and distinctly punctured, especially in the mid- 

 dle, the anterior longitudinal carina poorly defined, almost obsolete. Metanotiim 

 with two crude longitudinal carina^, the space beneath the transverse carina? 

 somewhat coarsely radiate stiate. metapleura? opaque, finely sculptured, separated 

 from the metanotiim by a distinct curved carina which falls a little below the 

 spiracles. Wings hyaline with a dark cast, nervures dark brown, stigma pale 

 brown, areolet petiolate, the second recurrent nervure joining it beyond the 

 middle. First abdominal segment (excepting at apex where it is comparatively 

 smooth), opaque and somewhat longitudinally rugulose, the following segments 

 becoming more finely sculptured and shining, the apical ones being practically 

 impunctate and polished. 



Black. Clypeus, mandibles (excepting apex), a triangular spot on face extend- 

 ing upward opposite the middle of the eyes, a somewhat similar mark pointed 

 inwardly on the anterior lateral border of the dorsulum, tegulae, a spot aside of 

 and below base of wings, a line on inferior margin of propleurae, cox* and tro- 

 chanters of four anterior legs; yellow. Posterior coxse and part of trochanters 

 black, the legs are otherwise rufous to ferruginous, excepting a black line on pos- 

 terior femora, and the brown to brown-black color of the tarsi of posterior legs 

 and claws of four anterior ones. Apex of first basal, apex of second and third, 

 and apex of fourth abdominal segments •ochreous to ferruginous. 



Type, Coll. Acad. Nat. Sciences, Phila. Type locality, Beulah, 

 N. M., Aug. 17, 1801 (H. Skinner). One male specimen. This 

 species is related to Harrimaniella pleura/is, from which it is dis- 

 tinct, by its smaller size and rugulose metathorax. 



Rhyssa skimieri n. sp. — Face rugulose ; mesonotum almost uniformly 

 transversely stiate, the stria? not appreciably gibbose. Raised line separating 

 metanotiim and pleura?, poorly defined, becoming obsolete below the spiracles 



9 Length 23 mm. Face somewhat elevated medially, the elevation rather 

 longitudinally rugulose, sides and anterior margin of the face polished and mod- 

 erately sparsely punctured. Clypeus highly polished, distinctly produced into 

 a point medially, and with a row of deep punctures. Cheeks polished, sparsely 

 punctured. Propleura? polished almost impunctate. Dorsulum transversely 

 stiate, the stia? delicate but well defined posteriorly. Carina on anterior half of 

 mesopleura? becoming indistinct half way up on the pleura?, strongly striato-punc- 

 tate before the carina ; the inferior half of the pleura rather rugoso-punctate, the 

 superior half, highly polished. Scutellum flattened, transversely striate. Meta- 

 notum with a slight median longitudinal impression, delicately transversely 

 sculptured, laterally shining, rugulose; metapleura? polished, sparsely punctured, 

 rugulose on the superior margin. Wings hyaline with a brown cast, nervines
