Synopsis of species of NEODRYINUS. 

 F^emales. 



1. (2) Head above more or less shining .V. kocbclci. 



2. (i) Head above opaque. 



3. (4) Antennae black or almost so, except the four apicr" 



joints, and the front of the scape A^. nelsoni. 



4. (3) Antennae for the most, or a large part, pale, the sixth 



joint alone being somewhat infuscate in most ex- 

 amples, sometimes those adjoining this also dark. 

 N. raptor. 



I. Ncodryimts kocbclci, sp. nov. - ' 



Black, apex of clypeus and mandibles on the apical half (ex- 

 cepting the teeth) whitish or pale yellow, as also is the scape of 

 the antennae beneath; the rest of the antennae clear testaceous. 

 Posterior and intermediate tarsi (except the dark claw-joint) and 

 the anterior coxae and trochanters more or less testaceous; in- 

 termediate tibiae, and front tibiae and tarsi often brown or testa- 

 ceous; posterior tibiae sometimes brown or piceous; claw of 

 chelae pale yellow or white. 



Face with silvery pubescence, head longitudinally rugose and 

 more or less shining. Anterior and posterior divisions of the 

 pronotum subobliquely or subconcentrically rugose. Mesono- 

 tum not shining, densely reticulately rugose; the propodeum not 

 shining, densely reticulately rugose; the propodeum strongly 

 rugose, the numerous longitudinal wrinkles connected by trans- 

 verse ones so as to form a network, not less dense than that of 

 the mesonotum. Wings pale at the base, then with a transverse 

 smoky band extending a little beyond the apex of the second 

 basal cell; a second smoky transverse band, with its basal side 

 oljlique outwardly, is narrower, and on the upper side starts from 

 about the middle of the stigma; between the two bands the wing 

 iz white; beyond the second apically, it is faintly smoky. Abdo- 

 men shining, black, impunctate. Length 4-6 mm. 



Male. Black, apex of mandibles and the two basal joints of 

 the antennae beneath (more or less) ferruginous, or testaceous; 

 front tibiae and tarsi and intermediate and posterior tarsi testa- 

 ceous, apical joints of the latter more or less infuscate. Head in 

 front, and mesonotum dull, with dense and minute surface 

 sculpture, and clothed with short hairs; the latter still more finely
