HENRY L. VIERECK. 193 



Chrysis (Goiiochrysis) kansensis n. sp. 



Related to perpalchra. Fovese of metauotum smooth, parts at 

 apex of abdomen not distinctly impressed. 



7 mm. —Head — With adjoining punctures tliat average a little less than one- 

 fourth the size of the anterior ocellus, frontal excavation transversely striate, 

 with a round depression or elevation about the size of the anterior ocellus near 

 the short ridge that bounds the excavation superiorly, a small shining impunc- 

 tate space adjoining the lateral ocelli along the portion nearest the posterior and 

 lateral aspect of the head. 



Thorax. — Pronotuni punctured very like the front; the mesonotuni not quite so 

 closely and a little more coarsely punctured than tlie pronotum ; scutellum and 

 postscutellum not shining like the other segments of the thorax, rather dullish, 

 the punctures adjoining and about as large as those on the mesonotum, postscu- 

 tellum slightly arched. 



Abdomen. — First dorsal segment punctured nearly like the mesonotum. the 

 punctures a little more distinct and slightly separated, the second and terminal 

 dorsal segments punctured more like the front, apical margin of the dorsum of 

 the abdomen slightly undulate, interrupted in the middle by an emargination 

 that is about twice as wide as deep, the subapical dorsal impressions represented 

 by about fifteen rather deep, equally separated punctures. 



Pubescence as usual. 



Green, with bluish reflections, especially on the sutures and the abdomen above. 



Type. — University of Kansas. 



Type locality. — Morton Co., Kansas, 3200 ft. 



One specimen taken by F. H. Snow. 



Chrysus (Tetrachrysis) eqiiitlenK n. sp. 



Related to dorsalis. The teeth at apex of abdomen of equal 

 length. 



6 mm. — Head. — With adjoining shallow punctures, simulating meshes of a re- 

 ticulation, the puncture a little less than one-third the size of the anterior ocel- 

 lus, frontal depression smooth, its lateral margins bearing a few punctures smaller 

 than on the vertex but apparently deeper. 



TAor«x.— Pronotum punctured much like the vertex, the remaining portion of 

 the dorsum with more distinct though equal sized punctures, that above narrow 

 spaces between them. 



Abdomen. — Dorsum shining and with punctures after the fashion of those on 

 the mesonotum ; subapical depressions on the apical dorsal segment rather irreg- 

 ular, somewhat confluent, the individual pits separated from each other by slight 

 elevations of the tegument, apical teeth about half as long as the distance between 

 the latero-median teeth, distance between a latero-median tooth and a lateral 

 tooth a little greater than the distance between the latero-median teeth, the tips 

 of the latero-median teeth nearly as far removed from the tip of the lateral teeth 

 as the latero-median teeth are from each other, lateral margin of the apical dor- 

 sal abdominal segment with distinct outward curve, then an inward curve, then 

 an outward rounded angle, then an inward curve.
