III Structure and sculpture a male paratype from Hamilton Co., 

 Kansas, is essentially the same as the type, but in this specimen 

 the maculations on the pronotum are more prominent and the abdo- 

 men is mostly blackish. The first and sixth and seventh abdominal 

 segments are brownish-testaceous to brownish. Along the margins 

 of the first and second dorsal abdominal segments there is a rather 

 distinct band of yellow. Z . — 4 mm. 



IVotoglosisa ttenigaster n. sp. 



May be the female of cockerelli, but differs as follows: Front 

 without tubercle, mesonotum anteriorly not carinate. Abdominal 

 bands entire, tibi?e without a whitish stripe externally. 



9. — 8 mm. — Head, thorax and abdomen sculptured in much the same way as 

 in caUigasfer. Each squama has a very distinct lateral spine, which is directed 

 backward and slightly inward and is almost perpendicular to the posterioi- mar- 

 gin of the squama. The spine of the postscutellum is very narrowly emarginate, 

 nearly twice as long as broad at apex and with the spines or processes thereof 

 hardly departing from an imaginary line prolonged from the sides of the spine. 

 It must be remarked, however, that in this specimen the prongs of the post- 

 scutellar spine are not equally disposed, which would indicate that the spine is 

 abnormal. The mandibles are brownish, excepting the apex, which is blackish, 

 the scape brownish at apex. Pedicelluni and flagellum mostly brownish, with 

 yellowish brown beneath. A short line on either side of the pronotum, tuber- 

 cles, spotted base of anterior tibife, spotted apex of anterior femora, spot on either 

 side of the scutellum, a line on the outer aspect of the apical two-thirds of the 

 middle femora, a line on the base of the posterior tibiae and transver.se hand at 

 apex, dorsal abdominal segments 1-4 inclusive. Luteous. 



The anterior tibiae are brownish testaceous, the anterior tarsse brownish, ex- 

 cepting the pulvilli, which are black. The squamse are partly whitish, testa- 

 ceous and partly luteus. The spine of the postscutellum brownish. The mid- 

 dle and posterior tibise and tarsi and spines are very dark brown. Ventrally 

 the abdomen is black, except the posterior half of the fourth segment, the fifth 

 and sixth segment, which are brownish testaceous, as are also the fifth and sixth 

 dorsal abdominal segments.

Oxybelus exclamaiis n. sp. 



Related to packardii. Differs from all the North American spe- 

 cies of Oxybelus in the mesonotum, which is so closely and conflu- 

 ently punctured as to appear rugo.se. 



9 . — 6 mm. — Face, with the sculpture obscured by an appressed silvery pubes- 

 cence. The clypeus with a median longitudinal polished keel which is pro-
