among which is the type of the species, and the males there agree 

 with the description given above. All specimens that I have referred 

 to this species, both males and females, have the second cubital cell 

 narrowed on the radial vein, and all the Males have the second ster- 

 nite bituberculate, thus agreeing with Handlirsch's mamillata. 



Habitat — New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas. 



Number of specimens examined — males, 9; females, 14.

Male. — Black: Labrum, mandibles except apices, apical half of 

 clypeus, pair of minute spots on frons below and between antennae, 

 pair of spots laterad of the insertion of antennae prolonged upward 

 as exceedingly narrow anterior orbits, comparatively broad posterior 

 orbits, broken line on posterior border of pronotum, tubercles con- 

 nected with an irregular spot on side of prothorax, spot on tegulae, 

 small lateral spots on scutellum, narrow broken fascia on metano- 

 tum, spot on lateral angles and spiracles of median segment, spot on 

 metapleurae, two small spots on mesopleurae, widely separated 

 lateral spots on first tergite, continuous fasciae on tergites 2-6, that 

 on second broadly but not very deeply emarginate on anterior middle, 

 remaining fasciae biemarginate on anterior border and all with a 

 notch on posterior middle, apex of ultimate tergite, continuous fas- 

 ciae on all sternites, apical spot on coxae below, femora except stripe 

 above and below, tibiae except stripe below on first and second pairs, 

 and tarsi, yellow. 



The eyes are distinctly divergent above. The middle femora are 

 serrate below and the middle metatarsi are distinctly curved on the 

 inner side and basally bear several spines. The second sternite bears 

 a pair of small tubercles and the eighth lacks a discal spine. 



Female. — Black: Labrum, mandibles except apices, clypeus, lower 

 part of frons, curved spot below anterior ocellus, scape below, broad 

 anterior orbits, posterior orbits broad below, posterior border of pro- 

 notum, sides of prothorax except line in front of tubercles, tegulae, 

 lateral lines on scutum, fascia on scutellum narrow medially, fascia 

 on metanotum, curved fascia on dorsum of median segment inter- 

 rupted medially, lateral angles and nearly the entire sides of the me- 

 dian segment, metapleurae, mesopleurae, and mesosternum except 

 large area in front of the middle coxae, continuous fasciae on tergites, 

 first with a wide anterior medial emargination ending in three points 

 posteriorly and with three shallow emarginations on posterior border,
