214 AMERICAN HYMENOPTERA. 



j^otoglossa |>9eneniargiiiatiis n. sp. 



Closely related to emarginatus,h'on\ which it differs in the narrow 

 more slender spine, also resembles dilutus. 



Scutelliim and postscutellum with a median longitudinal carina. The spine of 

 postscutellum is not much longer than the distance between the tips of the 

 prongs, which are slightly divergent, extending outward, backward and some- 

 what downward, but not extending far beyond the line running parallel to the 

 spine at its base. The squamse nearly as large as the spine and with a very short 

 spine on the external margin directed backward and slightly inward. 



CoZor.— Black. Mandibles, excepting the apical half, which is brownish, the 

 outer third of the prouotum, the tubercles, spot at apex of anterior and middle 

 femora, the outer aspect of the anterior tibise, spot at base of middle and poste- 

 rior tibife and bands at the margin of the outer third of the first and second dor- 

 sal abdominal segments yellow, scape at apex, apical two-thirds of the flagellum, 

 anterior aspect of the anterior tibise and tafsi more or less brown. The middle 

 and posterior tibise very dark brown. The tegulse and bases of the wings are 

 brownish testaceous. The squamse are yellowish testaceous. The penultimate 

 dorsal abdominal segment is brownish apically and the apical abdominal segment 

 is reddish brown.

Notoglossa calligHSter n. sp. 



Related to abdominalis. 



9- — 5 mm. — Dorsulum closely, rather finely punctured. Segments of the 

 male abdomen 4-6 inclusive with subequal, cylindrical, and rather slender incon- 

 spicuous spines. Head closely distinctly punctured and shining. Thorax, ex- 

 cepting the metathorax, pnnctured and shining in much the same way as the 

 head. The metathorax finely roughened and subopaque. Abdomen more finely 

 and closely punctured than the head. The spine of the postscutellum is nar- 

 rowly emargiuate, with the prongs directed upward, backward and inward. The 

 squamae are much as in emanjinatus, but the spines thereof are larger and more 

 prominent. Pubescence of face practically obscuring the sculpture. The ap- 

 pressed pubescence of the mesopleura silvery and almost obscuring the sculpture. 



Color. — Black. Mandibles, except at tips, where they are brownish, anterior 

 and middle tibise, at least anteriorly, the anterior tarsi, tubercles, spot on either 

 side of the pronotum yellowish. 



The squamae and spine whitish testaceous. The anterior and middle tibise 

 posteriorly more or less brown. The posterior tibise, the middle and posterior 

 tarsi dark brown. The abdomen is mostly brownish, the third and fourth dor- 

 sal abdominal segments are mostly blackish, and the first dorsal abdominal seg- 

 ment is testaceous, tinted with brownish.
