a dot on either side of the scutehum, metanotum, a spot on either side 

 of the propodeum, an obscure dot on either side of the petiole, wide 

 oblique bands on either side of the second segment of the gaster, apical 

 margins of all segments of the gaster, yellow; tips of mandibles, tegulae, 

 and legs, testaceous. Covered with golden pile, long on head and 

 thorax, grading to medium length on the second segment of the gaster. 

 Male. — Length, 11.5 mm.; wing, 10 mm. Clypeus with lateral 

 angle near to a right angle, apical emargination angular, basal emargina- 

 tion deep, much like that of afraternus male. Cl^q^eus yellow. 



Described from one female from Beaver Canyon, Utah, 

 and one male from New Mexico. 



Type.— C&t. No. 21380, U. S. National Museum. 



Fi^TERNus Group. 



The f rater nus group is the most, homogeneous of all the 

 groups under consideration. While it contains some large 

 species the majority are smaller than those of the two groups 

 previously discussed. With the exception of cruciferoriim and 

 tricinctiis which are the odd members of the group, the apical 

 emargination of the clypeus is rounded, the second segment of 

 the gaster is without a boss on the dorsal angle and the result- 

 ing apically recurved dorsal line, which characterizes the fol- 

 lowing group and to a large extent the preceding one. All 

 species have the second segment of the gaster convex and little 

 depressed.
