longer than the shortest side of the areolet ; areola confluent with the petiolarea, 

 pentagonal in outline a little shorter than wide, the upper sides of the pentagon 

 nearly as long as the areola is wide at its junction with the petiolarea. the sculp- 

 ture of the areola is granular and shining, with a few slight wrinkles, the basal 

 area forming almost an equilateral triangle, greatest width of the petiolarea 

 nearly half the length of the same, its sides broken or angled in or near the mid- 

 dle, the sculpture of the petiolarea more distinctly granular and dull than that 

 of the areola, the surface depressed, forming a very shallow channel, external 

 and external median areas nearly smooth, dull and distinctly separated by an 

 oblique raised line, internal and angular areas well defined, shining and rugose, 

 the latter area nearly one-half the size of the former and almost forming an 

 equilateral triangle ; legs, including the coxae, almost entirely ferruginous, tro- 

 chanters of the anterior and middle legs and the distal coxae of the posterior legs 

 yellow, the proximal trochanter of posterior legs testaceous, with a blackish tint, 

 tarsi and knees of anterior and middle legs and extreme base of posterior tibise 

 more or less yellowish, first and secoud tarsal joints with a broad apical brownish 

 band, the succeeding joints of the tarsi and the claws almost entirely brown, pos- 

 terior tibiae tinted with brown and witli the apex externally dark brown, the 

 basal three-fourths of metatarsus, basal third of the next succeeding joint and 

 extreme apex of the third and fourth joints of the tarsi of the posterior legs sort 

 of a brown-tinted cream color. 



Abdomen. — Black, basal half of venter yellowish, only the second and third 

 dorsal segments with ferruginous, the ferruginous being confined chiefly to the 

 sides, the ferruginous of the sides of the second segment, however, being con- 

 nected on the dorsum of the segment by a band. Sheaths black, the ovipositor 

 black, except at ajiex, where it is brown and nearly as long as the abdomen. 



Type. — University of Kansas. 



Type locality. — Galveston, Texas. 



One 9 taken in May at Galveston, Texas. 



%,. — 5 mm. — Very like the female, apparently the only important difiFerences 

 are as follows: areolet with the petiole about as long as the shortest side, like in 

 the 9 > liot equilateral and oblique in position; areolet of the nietathorax sepa 

 rated from the petiolarea by a distinct ridge, the angular area small and lunate. 

 Antennae twenty-eight jointed, first joint of the flagellum as long as the scape, 

 the antennae entirely black. 



One specimen with the same data as the 9 •
