sculptured. Dorsulum polished, parapsirlal furrows deep, terminating a little 

 before the middle, the longitudial sulcus which originates near the centre of the 

 dorsulum extends backwards, becoming narrower and entering a transverse ex- 

 cavation on the posterior border of the mesonotum, this excavation has a longi- 

 tudinal raised line medially. A few small punctures are scattered around the 

 border of the sulcus. Mesopleurae shining, with a wide transversely wrinkled 

 channel which terminates as a line near the posterior border of the mesopleurae ; 

 metathorax shining, coarsely rugose, with a longitudinal, median, opaque, poorly- 

 defined, fingerlike impression on the basal half. Wings transparent, infuscated, 

 stigma and nervures unicolorous. dark brown, second submarginal cell on the 

 cubitus longer than the first, on the radius shorter than the first cubitus, but 

 longer than the second. First joint of abdomen dorsally, longitudinally striate, 

 satiny, the rest of the segments polished. 



Black. Femora ferruginous, more or less brown at apex, the tibiae brownish- 

 ferruginous, tarsi brown. 



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

 N. M., August 17, 1901 (H. Skinner). One specimen. This coin- 

 cides with Alysia fossulata Pro v. in regard to the remarkable im- 

 pression on mesonotum. 



Meteorus agilis n. sp. — Parapsidal grooves deep, converging, disappearing 

 in a rugulose area a little behind the middle of dorsulum. Metathorax rugose. 



9 Length 4 mm. Ovipositor 2.5 mm. (Jlypeus convex, impressed within, 

 anterior margin shining, face somewhat shining, indistinctly punctured, front 

 and cheeks apparently impunctate, polished. Dorsulum apparently finely punc- 

 tured, shining. Mesopleurae somewhat rugulose above and below the middle, 

 where they are polished, a finely rugulose track extending from a little below 

 the anterior middle to the posterior border near medial coxae, this is not clearly 

 defined. Metathorax rugulose, though not coarsely, with a faintly defined line 

 on the superior half, medially. The metapleurae not separated from the meta- 

 notum. Wings hyaline, stigma dark brown, with one corner pale, the nervures 

 about the same color as stigma. Submedian cell longer than median, but not 

 as much as the length of the transverse median nervure. Second abcissa of 

 radius a little longer than twice the length of the first abcissa, the first trans- 

 verse cubitus about as long as the first and second abcissaa of radius united, the 

 second cubital cell on the cubital nervure as long as first transverse cubitus, the 

 second transverse cubitus as long as the second abcissa of radius. Petiole finely 

 rugulose, the rest of the segments polished. 



Black. Scape, clypeus, base of propleurae, tegulae and base of wings some- 

 what ochraceous-rufous, mandibles, excepting apex, four anterior legs, and all 

 all the coxae brownish testaceous, the posterior femora and tibiae darker, at apex 

 brown, tarsi dark brown. Second abdominal segment somewhat brownish. 



% A little smaller than the female, almost identical in structure and colora- 

 tion, differing chiefly in the less close sculpture of metathorax and in the more 

 plainly defined longitudinal raised line.
