Nomiaephagus oculatus sp. nov. 
2. Closely related to NV. simillima, the head fully as broad, and the 
eyes much more than their diameter from the posterior corners; the 
thorax is less strongly constricted in the middle, and the posterior slope 
has the edges less dentate than that species. The coloring is about 
the same, except that on the abdomen the apical fringe of the second 
segment is pale, except for a small spot in the middle, where it is dark, 
(in simillima dark except extreme sides), and the pale on the top of 
the second segment is in the form of two circular spots, quite sharply 
marked. 
Length, 10 mm. 
From St. Marys, Georgia, March 6th—April 18th, (O. 
Bangs). Probably it is the form referred to by Fox from Florida, 
with the yellow in the form of rounded spots. 
Dasymutilla alesia sp. nov. 
2. In the section of D. cypris, with an elongate tubercle extending 
toward eye; eyes moderately large, about their diameter from the 
apex of the tubercle. Head and thorax with appressed golden hair, 
and scattered, erect, mostly black bristles; those on the posterior slope 
of the metanotum are pale; first abdominal segment with pale hair on 
disc, at apex black, second segment with four large, sharply defined 
pale spots, the two in front are the smaller, the rest of the segment 
above deep black, with black hair, the apical margin black-haired, 
except the extreme sides; third segment black and black haired, except 
at extreme sides; fourth and fifth with pale hairs; pygidium rather 
closely and fully longitudinally striate. Carina of first ventral not 
prominent, an elongate tooth in front; scutellar scale distinct; no 
transverse carina at end of mesonotum; third joint of the antenna little 
shorter than fourth and fifth united. Legs pale, tarsi darker, with 
pale hair. 
Length, 8 to 11 mm. 
From Falls Church, Va., 13th August to 20th September. 
Dasymutilla cypris var. interrupta var. nov. 
2. Agrees with D. cypris, except that the apical margin of the 
second abdominal segment is not wholly fringed with pale golden hair; 
there is a small, median patch of the golden hair, and each side of itis a 
longer area of black hair; the extreme sides pale-haired. 
From Falls Church, Va., July and August.
