from above of moderate length (3.5 mm.) ; strongly shouldered, 
beyond the shoulders serrate, the apical spine narrow; from a 
side view the dorsal surface is flat, the ventral surface tapering 
to the tip, except just beyond the anus two or three large ser- 
rations cause a slight widening; ovipositor extending less than 
3 mm. beyond the tip of the cornus. 
Length of thorax including basal plates 9 mm.; of abdomen 
14.5 mm.; expanse of wings 54 mm.; antenne 18 mm.; front 
wing 24.5 mm.; posterior leg 20 mm.; tibia 8 mm.; metatarsus 
4 mm.; ovipositor 7 mm.; total length to tip of cornus 28 mm. 
This may be the female of apicalis. 
Habitat: Arizona. 
Type: A unique female in the collection of the American 
Entomological Society.

This species is known with certainty only from the male. 
Female specimens from the same locality were recorded by 
Kirby as S. edwardsii, with the remarks that they were per- 
haps the females of abbotw. WKonow is wrong in assigning this 
species to cyaneus, which does not occur south of New York, 
and is different in coloration. I have not seen specimens. 
Distribution: Georgia. 
Sirex areolatus (Cresson) Kirby 
The abdomen of the female is a more metallic and shining 
blue than in the foregoing species. 
Konow considers apicalis as a synonym of this species, but 
the male described by him for areolatus is not what I consider 
to be the male of areolatus, described below. 
Westwood’s figure, by the shape of the abdomen and cornus 
leaves no doubt but that his gracilis belongs here.
