INSECTS OF BEULAH, NEW MEXICO. 89 



also the apical border of all but basal and two or three apical dorsal segments 

 (more or less interrupted laterally), white. Part of the two apical segments pale. 

 Dorsulum partly brownish ; scutellum, mesopleurse and ovipositor more ferrugi- 

 nous. Four anterior legs excepting tibia? and tarsi testaceous, marked with 

 white; the tibia? whitish with a brown stripe; tarsi whitish, more or less marked 

 with brownish. Posterior legs darker testaceous, excepting tibia?, which are 

 almost wholly brown, with a white stripe; tarsi brown

There are specimens of both sexes in the Coll. Am. Ent. Society 

 from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts. Two speci- 

 mens from Pennsylvania vary in maculation of posterior legs, the 

 tibia? and tarsi in one specimen being almost unicolorous, rufous, 

 in the other annulate with dark brown and white, in this respect 

 the Beulah 9 specimen agrees with the latter, though the antenna? 

 are entirely black, however in the male specimen from Beulah 

 the antennae are inclined to brownish. The male of this species 

 is readily assigned, having practically the same scheme of sculp- 

 ture and coloration as the 9 • One 9 aQ d one $ . 



Glypta areolata n. sp. — Face shining; parapsidal grooves distinct ante- 

 riorly, disappearing among punctures near the middle of the dorsulum ; meta- 

 thorax with the areola and petiolar area united, somewhat diamond shaped. 



9 Length 6.5 mm. Face sparsely punctured, longitudinally elevated in the 

 middle, a short carina extending down from the antennal socket, cheeks shin- 

 ing, indistinctly sculptured, clypeus subopaque. Dorsulum closely and distinctly 

 punctured, opaque medially in the posterior half of the mesonotum, otherwise 

 the surface is sparsely to finely punctured and shining, pro- and mesopleura? 

 polished, the latter sparsely punctured, the longitudinal carina of mesopleura 

 distinct, the space in front excavated. Metanotum shining and covered with 

 fine sparse punctures, the carina; well formed, a transverse lateral carina 

 extending from middle corner of the diamond to a poorly-defined carina on the 

 side of the metathorax, above the spiracles the metapleuva? are more closely 

 punctured, the separating carina curved and distinct. Wings hyaline, with a 

 dark cast, nervures dark brown, stigma very pale brown. First dorsal segment 

 with two longitudinal carina?, extending a little beyond the middle, sides 

 strongly punctured, confluently on posterior half, polished at or near the middle, 

 with a transverse punctured impression before the apex, the second, third and 

 fourth dorsal segments similarly sculptured, and with diagonal impressions,
