90 HKNRY L. VIERKCK. 



Thorax. — Prothorax closely rugose. Dorsulura with punctures uniform in size, 

 deep and irregularly separated, parapsidal groove originating somewhat anterior 

 to middle, lateral groove more posterior. Punctures on scutellum and postscutel 

 irregular and close together. Propleura closely rugose or rugulose. Mesopleura 

 with bulged portion distinctly covered with contiguous rather large shallow 

 punctures, shallow portion smooth and shining, sparsely punctured. Area abbre- 

 viated, apparent only at base. Meshes of reticulation on metathorax large, 

 sharply defined, shallow. Wings — -first submarginal cell as in fallax, subdiscoidal 

 nervure distinct, but no trace of an abcissa on it, nor on the radius, where the 

 third transverse cubitus should be. Transverse median nervure originating be- 

 yond the basal nervure. 



Abdomen. — Punctures of petiole not coarse, sparse. Second segment polished, 

 punctures numerous, small and well separated, felt line as usual, on ventral seg- 

 ment merely a dot. 



Color. — Dull castaneous, autennse and four posterior legs blackish. Stigma 

 dark brown, nervures pale testaceous. Pubescence on metathorax, petiole and 

 second segment white, otherwise faintly yellowish.

Odontopliotopsis augiistiis n. sp. 



Length, % , 7 mm. — i/earf. — Punctures obscure, median depression a pit. Dist- 

 ance between posterior ocelli about equal to twice the distance between them 

 and anterior ocellus and a little greater than that between them and nearest eye 

 margin. No malar space. Mandibles gently curved, excised, the tooth a blunt 

 short angle. 



T/toraj;.— Prothorax rather coarsely rugose. Punctures of dorsulum sparse and 

 small, parapsidal groove slight, originating anterior to middle. Lateral groove 

 indistinct. Scutellum and postscutel rugose, almost rugulose, dull. Propleura 

 almost reticulate, large part roughened. Mesopleura with bulged portion not 

 very distinct, with a close reticulation continued on the depressed portion above, 

 the depressed part being smooth and shining inferiorly. Area not sharply de- 

 fined, almost quadrate. Meshes moderately large, sharply defined Wings — first 

 submarginal call more than twice as long as high, but not three times, subdiscoi- 

 dal nervure very faint, no abcissa on it nor on the radius. Transverse niedian 

 nervure interstitial with the basal. 



Abdomen. — Punctures on petiole coarse and closely arranged. Punctures on 

 second segment sparse and very small, felt line as usual, on ventral segment one- 

 half as long as on dorsal segment. Subtle area tapering like the end of a finger. 



CoZor.— Testaceous, antennse and legs very pale testaceous, black spot between 

 ocelli. Stigma testaceous, nervures pale. Pubescence white.
