piiiu'turi^l the others sinooth. The recurrent nervure is bent in front to- 

 wards the base of the areolet; it is received in its center. The antennae 

 are nearly as long as the liody. 



8993 Campsocryptus brevicornis sp. nov. 



Ferruginoixs, the sutures of the thorax, more than the apical half of the 

 hind tibiae and the flagellum of the antennae, black; the seventh to ninth 

 joints of the flagelhun yellovpish beneath, the basal dark rufous. Wings 

 fuscous, tinged with violaceous; about the basal fourth of the fore 

 wings, a band of about the same length and of uniform width in the 

 center, its apex reaching close to the apex of the stigma and a cloud 

 extending from the apex of the stigma to the end of the radial cellule 

 narrowed to a blunt point behind where it reaches to the middle of the 

 recurrent nervure, yellowish hyaline; the hind pair of a paler fuscous 

 tint, their base broadly and an irregular cloud beyond the middle, hyali- 

 ne, tinged with yellow. Female. Length Ifi mm.; terebra 7 mm. Taken at 

 Olaremont, f'alifornia. 



Antennae not iruch longer than the thorax, stout, the first and second 

 joints of tiagelluni about equal in length. Head closely, nunuteiy, indis- 

 tinctly punctured, covered with pale pubescence; the ocellar region black. 

 Center of face largely roundly projecting, clearly separated from the 

 clypcus. Thorax closely minutely punctured; the scutellum roundly con- 

 vex, shining. Metanotum minutely closely punctured, its middle closely 

 obscurely reticulated; the apical slope closely, transversely jstria ted ; it 

 is oblique, rounded above. Basal two segments of abdomen closely minu- 

 tely punctured, the post-petiole broad, abruptly dilated. Areolet square, 

 the nervures not converging; the recurrent nervure received close to the 

 apex. The breast and under side of coxae are covered with a fulvous 

 down. Apex of clypeus transverse, obliquely depressed. Head, viewed 

 from in front, long, not much narrowed below, the malar space as long 

 rs the anteiiiial scape. The apex of metanotum is only slightly depressed. 



So far as T cnn make out from the descriptions, this species, while 

 closely allied to it, is distinct from C caliplerux Say, e. g. that species 

 lias the antennae "rather slender" and no pale annulus on them and the 

 metathorax has "a rather pron.inent lateral carina", cf. Cresson, Trans. 

 Amer. Ent. Soc. IV, 15S. 



PIMPIilNAE 



Ateleophadnus gen. nov. 



Metanotum with two longitudinal keels in the center of the basal part 

 extending from the base to the top of the apical part, which is steeply 

 sloped. Clypeus clearly separated from the face, its apex transverse. Eyes 

 large, not emarginate on inner side. Areolet oblique, 4-angled, the nervu- 

 res uniting in front. Transverse median nervure in hind wings broken 

 below the middle. Claws simple.
