Psammochares sublaevis sp. nov. 
2. Black. Spines of comb of anterior tarsi very long and curved, 
asin P. scelestus and P. astur; third joint of antennee very long, with the 
second about equal to vertex width, third and fourth joints subequal; 
vertex straight across; ocelli as in allied forms; pronotum angulate 
behind; metanotum rather short, no groove; legs slender and spined as 
in allied forms. Body throughout with very short hair or almost absent, 
that on head above antenne hardly more than one-half as long as in 
P. scelestus or P. astur, below antenne almost without hair; hair on 
mesonotum very short, that on metanotum fairly long, almost wholly 
absent from pleura, (which is very hairy in P. scelestus and P. astur); 
very few hairs on front of anterior coxee, mid-coxze with only few very 
minute hairs below, (prominent in P. scelestus, but not in P. astur). 
Wings black; both submarginal cells longer than high; first recurrent 
ends near tip of second submarginal, second recurrent bowed out, ends 
near middle of the third submarginal cell. 
Length, 10 to 12 mm.

Lophopompilus carolinus sp. noy. 
2. Black, with a red mark on the second abdominal segment 
partly divided, as in L. atrox. Structurally similar to L. atrox in face, 
antenne, thorax, legs and venation, but only about one-half the size of 
that species. It differs from L. atrox in that there is practically no 
hair on the pleura, only few fine, scattered hairs, while in L. atrox the 
pleural hair. is long and dense; the hair on other parts of the body is, 
perhaps, a little shorter proportionally than in that species. The 
emargination of the clypeus is nearly as large as in L. atrox. 
Length, 12 mm. 
From Black Rock, North Carolina, September, (Sherman). 
Batazonus flavipennis sp. nov. 
Head mostly yellowish, darker in middle above the antennae; 
antenne pale on basal half, beyond dark; thorax mostly dark, hind and 
lower border of pronotum pale, and some pale on mesonotum and 
scutellum; abdomen mostly yellow, the basal segments darker on apical 
part; femora dark on basal half or more, beyond the legs are yellowish; 
wings yellowish, apex distinctly dark. Vertex rather narrow, not as 
wide between eyes as the length of third joint of antenna; lateral ocelli 
nearer to eyes than to each other. The spines in the comb of anterior 
tarsi are very long and rather flattened, as in B. algidus and ferrugineus; 
the clypeal suture is as in B. algidus; from this latter it is separated by 
the very different coloration.
