as the areolet, areola confluent, with the petiolarea only its upper margins nor- 

 mally placed and almost forming the arc of a semicircle, the areola and petiolarea 

 together forming a tolerably deep strongly margined broad furrow that is shin- 

 ing and transversely rugulose, distinctly transversely striate near the apex, ex- 

 ternal area granular, distinctly separated from the external median area which 

 is almost rugose, the internal area apparently confluent with the angular area 

 and rugose; anterior and middle coxse almost entirely yellowish to testaceous, 

 ))Osterior coxae almost entirely black, the trochanters colored as in Idecthis bicon- 

 jnnfus, anterior and middle femora yellowish ferruginous, on the anterior legs, 

 the tarsi are brownish testaceous, the claws brown on the middle legs, the tibiae 

 are largely yellow above, beneath and on the apical third above yellowish ferru- 

 ginous, tarsi with the first three joints whitish, tipped with brown, beyond the 

 joints are brown, as are the claws, posterior femora ferruginous, tipped with dark 

 brown, posterior tibiae pale yellowish, with a ferruginous stripe beneath, apical 

 third black nearly all the way around the apical half of the basal third, with a 

 black band nearly all the way round, posterior tarsi with nearly all of the basal 

 half of the first joint and the basal third of the second and third joints cream 

 color, tinted with testaceous, otherwise the joints are dark brown, like the re- 

 maining joints and claws. 



Abdomen. — Black, the basal half of the venter partly yellow ; the ovipositor 

 brown, attaining the tip of the black sheath, the ovipositor about two-thirds the 

 length of the abdomen. 



Type. — University of Kansas. 



Type locality. — Douglas Co., Kansas, 900 ft. 



One specimen taken in August, by E. S. Tucker. 



Aiigitia aiiliiinnalis n. sp. 



Appears to be like Limneriuiii lophyri Riley, which is too briefly 

 described to make the relation certain. 



9. — 9 mm. — Head. — Face dull, rather coarsely granular almost as if covered 

 with adjoining punctures; pubescence white, nowhere hiding the tegument; 

 cheeks distinctly narrower than the eye; the eyes distinctly emarginate just 

 above the middle of the inner margin, cheeks shining minutely roughened and 

 tessellate ; antennae thirty-four jointed, the first joint of the flagellum as long or 

 almost as long as the scape and pedicellum together; head and antennfe black, 

 except the scape, which is yellow beneath, palpi yellow, mandibles yellow, except 

 at apex, where they are brown. 



Thorax. — Dorsum about as coarsely sculptured as the face but more granular 

 and punctate than rugulose; pleura less granular than the dorsum, shining; 

 metanotum dull rugulose, devoid of carinae, excepting the bounding pleural 

 carina, with a shallow median longitudinal furrow that has some inconspicuous 

 transverse ridges, metaplenra sculptured somewhat like the dorsulum, but more 

 shining; the thorax like the head has white pubescence that is very short on the 

 dorsulum, much longer on the pleura and nietatliorax ; the thorax is black, ex- 

 cepting the tegulae and bases of the wings, which are yellow, nervures and stigma 

 very dark brown, areolet a trapezium, petiolate, the petioles long or a little
