1909] ROHWER— NEW CHRYSIDID WASPS 9] 
Chrysis (‘Tetrachrysis) amala' n. sp. 
Female: length 5 to 5.5 mm. Clypeus transverse; the malar space about the 
same length as the pedicellum; facial basin punctured like the rest of the head, 
except in the middle where there is a finely transversely striated area; the facial 
carina straight, evident; the.third antennal joint as long as the length of joints four 
plus five; orbital carina not very strong. Pronotum shorter than the head; parap- 
sidial furrows distinct, parallel; the furrow on the mesopleure faint; the U-shaped 
furrow of the posterior face shining above; hind basitarsus as long as joints 2, 3 
and 4; radial cell open at the apex; the head and thorax closely rather coarsely 
punctured. Abdomen not so closely punctured as the head and thorax; the third 
segment not more coarsely sculptured than the second; the spaces between the punc- 
tures smooth, shining. ‘The lower lateral margin of the third segment bisinuate; the 
upper surface straight. ‘The middle teeth more strongly curved downward than the 
outer ones; the emargination between the middle teeth deeper and wider than the 
emargination between the middle and lateral teeth; the emargination between the 
teeth semicircular; the teeth sharp triangular. The apical furrow rather deep, 
with eight to ten distinct pits. Blue with some greenish reflections; the antennee 
beyond the third joint and the tarsi brownish-black; the entire insect clothed with 
erect gray hair. Wings hyaline, iridescent; venation brownish. 
Type locality: Florissant, Colo. ‘The type collected June 19, 1908, by T. D. A. 
Cockerell; two paratypes collected June 12, 1908, by S. A. Rohwer, on sand. 
Very much like decepta Roh., but it is smaller, the facial carina is straight, not 
wavy, and the radial cell is open at the apex. 
Chrysis (‘T'etrachrysis) submontana n. sp. 
Length 6 mm. Clypeus transverse, the upper surface rather finely punctured; 
malar space linear, not as long as the short pedicellum; facial basin in the central 
part finely transversely striated; facial carina wanting; orbital carina very faint; 
ocelli in a triangle, the anterior ocellus not hooded. Pronotum not quite as long as 
the head; parapsidial furrows parallel; the furrow on the mesopleurz evident but 
not strong; the U-shaped furrow of the posterior face of the metathorax foveolated 
above, below with two large fosse; the teeth of the metathorax rather flattened, acute; 
head and thorax rather coarsely, closely punctured; hind basitarsus as long as joints 
2, 3 and 4; radial cell open at the apex. Abdomen very closely, finely punctured, 
appearing granular; the first segment is more distinctly punctured than the following
