Apical joint of antennae as long as the preceding two united. Abdo- 

 men strongly punctured, the segments without distinct transverse depres- 

 sions. The temples are wide and not obliquely narrowed, the malar space 

 short. Median segment smooth except on the sides at the base. Parapsidal 

 furrows distinct on the basal slope only. Scutellum not much raised above 

 the mesonotum. The two keels on the metanotum do not form an enclosed 

 area, there being no transverse one at the apex. 



In Dr. Ashmead's system this genus comes in near Delomerista and 

 Xanthopimpla with neither of which can it be confounded. 



397« Ateleophadnus bicarinata sp. nov. 



Black, shining, smooth excei)t the sides of the basal part of the meta- 

 notum and metapleurae which are punctured, the latter strongly; the lo- 

 wer part of the mesopleurae and mesosternum are weakly punctured. 

 Face and clj'peus smooth and shining; the face roundly dilated in the 

 middle. Abdomen strongly and closely punctured. Wings hyaline, the 

 nervures blackish, the stigma pale testaceous, fuscous in the middle. Fla- 

 gellum of antennae brownish below, covered with a pale pile, its first 

 joint about one-fourth longer than the second. Sheaths of ovipositor den- 

 sely pilose. Transverse median nervure interstitial; the recurrent nervure 

 is broadly roundly curved and is received close to the base of the apical 

 third. Female. Length 8 mm.; terebra 4 mm. Taken during July in 

 Ormsby county, Nevada. 



3979 Glj/pta xanthogastra sp. nov. 



Black, the apices of the first to third abdominal segments broadly, of 

 the fourth narrowly rufo-testaceous (perhaps discolored) the ventral sur- 

 face and keel bright sulphur yellow, their basal joint black above; the 

 femora rufous, the tibiae and tarsi pallid yellow; the basal joint of hind 

 trochanters black, apical pale yellow; femora bright reddish-fulvous; 

 tibiae black, the extreme base and a broad band in the middle above 

 white, tarsi blackish, the basal three joints white at the base. Wings 

 clear hyaline, stigma dark fuscous, the nervures black. Female. Length 

 6 mm.; terebra 4 mm. Taken during July in Ormsby county, Nevada. 



Front and vertex closely punctured; the ocellar region and hinder edge 

 of vertex smooth. Face and clypeus closely punctured, thickly covered 

 with silvery pubescence; the face largely projecting in the center, the 

 projection narrowed towards the middle. Apical joints of palpi dark tes- 

 taceous. Mesonotun) closely, distinctly punctured. Scutellum shining, al- 

 most smooth, roundly raised. Median segment thickly covered whith white 

 pubescence, its apex with a steep slope, narrowly margined above and 

 without keels. Abdomen thickly covered with white pubescence, the 

 oblique depression deep and wide. Tegulae pale bright yellow. Transverse 

 cubital nervure longish, disco-cubital nervure angled and broken by a 

 stum]> of a nervure; transverse median nervure received distinctly be-
