HENRY L. VIEREOK. 187 



Type. — University of Kansas. 



Type locality. — Hamilton Co., Kansas (F. H. Snow). 



A series of six paratypes with these data, type locality June, 1902 

 (F. H. Snow) ; Wallace Co., Kansas (F. H. Snow), show variation 

 from the type in color and size, the color from pale ochreous to ful- 

 vous, the size from 11 mm. -13 mm. 



.^lutilla (Timulla) nigi-icsiucla n. sp. 



Related to vioidivaga, from which it differs in having all the 

 abdomen, exce|)t the second segment, black. 



9. — 10 mm. — Differs from 31. montiimgoides as follows: crest black, hairs on 

 head rather sparser, dorsulum with erect black hairs confined to the anterior and 

 lateral margin, the same holds true for the second dorsal abdominal segment as 

 for the dorsulura; pygidiuin roughened but not distinctly wrinkled. Greater 

 part of head, thorax and second dorsal abdominal segment ferruginous, head, 

 thorax and second dorsal abdominal segment with the dorsal aspect covered with 

 golden pubescence. 



Type. — University of Kansas. 

 Type locality.— Clark Co., Kansas. 

 Collected in May (F. H. Snow). 



iMutilla (Phutoiuorplius) quinlilis □. sp. 



Easily distinguished by the entirely black color. 



%. — 9 mm. — Head. — Typical, covered with loose silvery pubescence 



Thorax. — The anterior lateral margin of prothorax rounded, not distinctly 

 ridged, mesosteruum on each side of the median furrow produced into a short 

 rather truncate, edentate process. Metauotum with no distinct shining bisected 

 area, rather imperfectly reticulate and roughened. Pubescence of the dorsum of 

 thorax apparently more yellowish than on the dorsum of the head. Cubitus of 

 the anterior wings distinctly angled at the insertion of the first transverse cubi- 

 tus; second transverse cubitus received by the radius just before its middle. 



Abdomen. — Felt line on dorsum of second segment extending within but a verv 

 short distance of the anterior and posterior margins of this surface, the felt line 

 on the venter of second segment about half as long as that on the dorsum. No 

 tubercle between fifth and sixth ventral segments, the apical ventral segment 

 smooth and shining, sparsely punctured in the middle, rather closely so on the 

 lateral margins and the posterior margin. 



Color. — Black, with the mandibles, antennse, legs, margins of abdominal seg- 

 ments and apical spines more or less brown. 



Remarks. — In describing this species it was compared with the 

 type of the subgenus, therefore characters common to the type and 

 it were not redescribed. The pubescence in this species is almost 

 uniformly whitish or rather silvery, the only departure being a slight 

 yellowish tinge on the dorsum.
