HENRY L. VIERECK. 199 



Type. — University of Kansas. 



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



One female, collected by F. H. Snow. 



Odyiifriiis niicrostictus ii. sp. 



Related to cDionnls and propiiujuus. Readily distingnished by 

 the small sparse punctures of the clypeus. 



9. — 10 mm. — Head. — As in the related species, but the punctures on the cly- 

 peus are smaller than those on the front and not so distinct, moreover, they are 

 as much as four and five puncture widths apart. 



Thorax. — As in the allied species. 



Abdomen. — First abdominal segment narrower than the second, but wider than 

 long; the second dorsal seguient slightly depressed before the posterior margin. 



Pleura, metathorax and abdomen distinctly sericeous in most lights, having an 

 appearance similar to tlie bloom on grapes. 



Color. — The same as in anormis, differing, however, as follows: clypeus with 

 two yellow spots at base, a spot adjoining the emargination of the eyes, ventral 

 segments, e.xcepting the second and third, without an apical yellow margin, api- 

 cal dorsal segment without yellow, coxse and trochanters black, otherwise the 

 legs are testaceo-ferruginous, a yellow spot at apex of anterior and middle femora 

 and at base of the corresponding tibise, posterior tibiae with the anterior aspect of 

 the basal half yellow. 



Type. — University of Kansas. 



Type locality.— Clark Co., Kansas, 1962 ft. 



One female, taken in June, by F. H. Snow. 



Odyueriis pteiieTagus n. sp. 



Allied to vagu-i, from which it can be distinguished especially by 

 its sculpture and color. 



9 . — 9 mm. — Head. — Nearly as in vagus. 



Thorax.— Frothornx distinctly angulate, more coarsely punctured than the 

 head, the punctures not more than one puncture width apart; dorsulum with 

 punctures nearly as large as the punctures on the pronotum, with the punctures 

 one to two puncture widths apart; metathorax nearly as in vagus, but the mar- 

 gins of the posterior aspect rather angulate. 



Abdomen. — First dorsal segment distinctly truncate anteriorly, the punctures 

 on the truncature sparse on the superior aspect adjoining or nearly ; second dor- 

 sal segment as in vagus; on the second ventral segment the punctures are stronger 

 and closer than on the anterior aspect of the first abdominal segment, the third 

 ventral segment dullish, with small closer punctures than the second ventral seg- 

 ments. Apparently bare. 



Color. — As in vagus to some extent ; the departure from that type are as follows : 

 scHj)e behind and pedicellum more or less brown, clypeus yellow, excepting an 

 arcuate brown to black line across the middle, excepting for the basal macula, the 

 mandibles are brown, edges of the metathorax with a median yellow spot; third
