punctures on the sides of the prothorax, as well by its shorter ovi- 

 positor. It is also much smaller, 14 mm., instead of 30 mm. 



Family EVANIIDiE. 



Hjrptia libertatis sp. nov. 



cf . Length 4.5 mm. Head, prothorax, scape of antennse, fore legs, spot on 

 base of their coxas, and middle legs ferruginous or fulvous; otherwise black. En- 

 tire head deeply pitted with thimble-shaped punctures, those on the front quite 

 plainly arranged in arcs with the base of the antennse as center; between the punc- 

 tures with faint aciculations running with the lines of punctures on the front and 

 vertically on the cheeks. Inner orbits narrowly impunctate below and continued 

 across the malar space as a raised smooth strip. Punctures of posterior part of 

 head arranged in vertical lines. Below the antennae the color of the head becomes 

 much lighter, pale jellowish brown; mandibles of same color, with black tips; palpi 

 fuscous, paler at the articulations. Antennae 13-jointed; scape ferruginous, flagel- 

 lum piceous; scape four times as long as thick at apex, as long as the first and sec- 

 ond joints of the flagellum taken together; pedicel as long as thick, half as long as 

 the first flaggellar joint; flagellar joints increasing very slightly in length from the 

 first to third and subequal from thence onward; those at the middle distinctly 

 thicker than at base and apex; joints 1 to 6 twice as long as thick. Thorax above 

 punctured like the head, with distinct transverse aciculations between the punctures 

 on the mesonotum. Metathorax just above the insertion of the abdomen with a 

 small smooth, polished space. Propleura smooth, with an oblique femoral impres- 

 sion; at root of wing and below with several foveae. Mesopleura with a smooth 

 femoral impression above which are several irregular foveae, and below finely punc- 

 tate with some large punctures intermixed. Metapleura reticulate, with the fem- 

 oral furrow smooth on its lower half; posterior declivity of metathorax similarly 

 reticulated, but so densely clothed with silvery pubescence that the sculpture is 

 nearly obscured. Abdominal petiole longitudinally aciculate above, with sparse, 

 medium-sized punctures, and sparsely clothed with appressed glistening white hairs; 

 body of abdomen obovate, highly polished. Four anterior legs, except middle 

 coxae, fusco-ferruginous; hind legs entirely black, their tibiae and tarsi without 

 spinules; longer spur of tibia half the length of the metatarsus. Wings hyaHne, 

 venation piceous; costal cell complete; submedian vein as long as the costal cell, 

 with a swelling just beyond its middle. 



One specimen, Independencia, Parahyba, Brazil, Mann and 

 Heath. 



This pretty little species resembles H. spinulosa Kieff., but has 

 the hind legs black and lacks the spinules on the hind tibia.
