fourth longest, subequal, all longitudinally aciculated especially the petiole. 

 Legs reddish yellow, the coxse black. Wings slightly infuscated, stigma distinct 

 but without any trace of a stignial vein." 



" Two specimen.s, both feniaie.s, Hamilton Co., Kansas (3350 ft.), 

 and Morton Co., Kansas (3200 ft.), both collected by Prof. F. H. 

 Snow." 



" Tlie present species falls in tiie gronp with (edipodce Ashin. and 

 striaticollis sp. nov., from both of which it differs in sculpture, form 

 of metathoracic angles and sti'ucture of the head." 



VESPOIDEA. 

 IVIiitilla (Tiiuulla) vesta Cress. 



Wallace Co., 8000 ft. This is a variety with an inverted A" 

 shaped area of dark hairs from the apex of the second to the fourth 

 abdominal segment isolating a central cone- shaped area of silver 

 hairs. 



Miitilla inarpesia Blake. 



Morton Co., 3200 ft., June. With the anterior angled, the thorax 

 somewhat spined. 



Mulilla (Timulla) montiTagoides n. sp. 



Related to montivaga, from which it is distinguished by the black 

 hairs of the venter of abdomen. 



9. — 10 mm. — Head. — Rather quadrate, not wider than the thorax, somewhat 

 narrower, coarsely punctured, the punctures mostly adjoining some confluent, no 

 buccal carina, malar space as long or nearly as long as one and a half times the 

 greatest diameter of the eye, pedicellum and first joint of fiagellum together a 

 little longer than joints 2 and 3 of the fiagellum, joint 1 of the flagellum a little 

 shorter than joints 2 and 3 combined. 



r/ioraa;. — Suhquadrate, the greatest length thereof about equal to the greatest 

 width of the thorax, dorsum punctured much like the head, the junction of the 

 dorsum with the pleura not carinate rather crenulate, the pleura with rather 

 well-separated deep punctures of a size greater than the interstices. 



Abdomen. — First dorsal segment slightly convex, appearing fused with the sec- 

 ond segment rather sparsely punctured, some of the interstices being several 

 times the width of the punctures, sculpture of the second dorsal segment appar- 

 ently closely punctured, the punctuation hidden by the pubescence, succeeding 

 dorsal segments, apparently more finely sparsely punctured than the second dor- 

 sal segment, especially is this true of the fourth dorsal segment, the disc of 

 which is visible in the type, first ventral segment with a rather undulate longi- 

 tudinal carina, the second ventral segment with well-separated punctures of 

 rather large size, the interstices usually a little wider than the punctures, the
