eniarginate. Dorsulum highly polished and with sparser, coarser punctures than 

 ou the %'ertex. The parapsidal grooves rather indistinct and occupying approxi- 

 mately the middle third of the dorsulum. Scutellum sculptured in much the 

 same way as the dorsulum. Postscutellum shining and mostly impunctate. 

 Mesopleura shining, closely punctured with deep, well-defined punctures. Meta- 

 notutn mostly impunctate along the middle. Closely punctured laterally with 

 a longitudinal median sulcus. Metapleura shining, with fine, sparse, indistinct 

 punctures. The dorsal abdominal segments with rather coarse, sparse punctures. 

 The punctures on the first and second abdominal segments with punctures of two 

 sizes interspersed. The succeeding segments punctured in much the same way, 

 but with the punctures not as coarse, Color black. The shining ])ortion of the 

 face yellow, with the supraclypeal mark rather orange. Scape and flagellum 

 black posteriorly, brownish orange anteriorly. Pedicellum entirely black. Man- 

 dibles yellowish, with the tips and margins blackish. Spot on the cheeks, the pro- 

 notum, the tubercles, and the subtegular spot, two spots on the scutellum separated 

 by a narrow black line, the postscutellum, spot on either side of the metonotuni 

 interrupted broad irregular transverse band on the middle of the first dorsal ab- 

 dominal segment, a transverse band occupying the greater portion of the second 

 dorsal segment, five emargiuations on the anterior margin and with two black 

 spots, transverse band on the third dorso-abdominal segment with four emargiua- 

 tions on the anterior margin, transverse band on the fourth segment occupying 

 the greater portion of the segment and almost all of the 5th segment reddish 

 yellow to orange. 



Femora at tips, tibiae, excepting a black spot on the anterior and middle tibia; 

 behind, reddish. 



Tarsi testaceous. Tegulae yellow, wings yellowish, uervure and stigma testa-

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



Miteliopsis foxii n. sp. 



Forms a distinct group, related to plenoculoides by its longer pro- 

 notuni and by the venation. Superficially like striatipes, from which 

 it differs in the submediau cell, which is longer than the median, 

 and in the beak like not gradate median production of the clypeus. 



Clypeus in front as in plenoculoides. The eyes not so stronglj- converging to the 

 top. The space between them and the apex is distinctly greater than one-half 

 the space between them at the clypeus. Ocelli forming an equilateral triangle. 

 The distance between the posterior ocelli approximately one and one-half times 

 as great as the distance between the posterior ocelli and the nearest eye margin. 

 There is a slight depression between the lateral ocelli and the tegument adjoining 

 laterally but no furrow reaching forward. Third joint of the antenna; approxi- 

 mately one and one-fourth times as long as the fourth. The fifth joint shorter 

 than the fourth. Dorsulum as in plenoculoides appearing rather coarsely granular
