Odyiierus egregius n. sp. 



Related superficially to annulatus. The elevated or convex por- 

 tion of the second doi'sal abdominal segment practically impunctate. 

 Tiie abdomen velutinous. 



% . — 11 mm. — Head. — Clypeus as broad as long, with its punctures one and two 

 puncture widths apart, punctures of the face larger than on the clypeus, but 

 similarly spaced, the punctures on the vertex and cheeks smaller than on the 

 face and as much as five puncture widths apart; the clypeus truncate anteriorly, 

 with the faintest indication of a tooth on either side. 



37tor«x. —Punctured much like the face; postscutellum with a slight transverse 

 crest. 



Abdomen. — The exposed portion of the third and succeeding dorsal abdominal 

 segments coarsely punctured like the posterior margin of the second dorsal seg- 

 ment which is not at all reflexed. 



Color. — Testaceo-ferruginous : space between the eyes above the emargiuation, 

 a short band extending from the insertion of the antennse almost to the upper 

 part of the anterior margin of the eye, being separated therefrom by a yellow 

 line, and parallel with the lower margin of the emargiuation, fifth and succeed- 

 ing joints of antennse, posterior aspect of the head, internal margin and tips of 

 the mandibles, anterior fourth of the mesonotum, sutures of the thorax, longitu- 

 dinal median line on the metathorax confluent, with a transverse oval area of 

 black, and basal portion of abdominal segments black ; face, including the cly- 

 peus, and excepting the black portion already described, dull yellow, scape ante- 

 riorly concolorous, with pale portion of face ; narrowed portion of pronotum,spot 

 on anterior and posterior margin of tegulfe, the posterior half of the superior 

 division of the mesopleura, femora at tips, tibise anteriorly and the apical mar- 

 gins of the abdominal segments, excepting the terminal segment, yellow, pedi- 

 celluni and two succeeding joints of the antennae, brownish, antennal book daik 

 brown. 



Type. — University of Kansas. 



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



One male collected by F. H. Snow. 



Odyneriis siibtoltecus u. sp. 



Related to toltecus. 



9 . — Head. — As in toltecus 



Thorax.— As in toltecus, but the postscutellum not at all carinated transversely. 



Abdomen. — First segment not quite as wide as the second and with no depres- 

 sion above, the apical margin of the second dorsal segment not so decidedly re- 

 flexed as in toltecus, but reflexed so as to form an obtuse angle with the segment. 



Color. — Black ; a spot on each side of the posterior margin of the clypeus, a 

 frontal spot in each sinus of the eyes, a spot back of the eyes, scape in front, a 

 narrowly interrupted fascia on the pronotum, a spot at base of mandibles, poste- 

 rior half of the superior division of the mesopleura, margin of tegulse, a spot 

 just behind the tegulse, a spot near the middle of the posterior border of the dor-
