NESOSELANDRIA IMITATRIX Ashmead. 



Paraselandria imitatrix Ashmead, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 28, 1905, p. 971. 

 The following notes may aid in the determination of this species: 

 Frontal crest strongly produced in the middle, slightly broken; a cir- 

 cular fovea above each antenna; an elongate transverse fovea in 

 front of middle ocellus, but these are not strong; postocular furrows 

 wanting, or nearly; antenna? hairy; stigma angled near middle. 



MUTILLA (sens, lat.) BROWNI, new species. 



Female. — Length about 6 mm. Head slightly broader than the 

 thorax; mandibles long and slender, with a tooth remote from the 

 apex; antennal fovea large, shining, carinated above; head and 

 thorax (including the posterior face) with large confluent punctures; 

 thorax rectangular, constricted, and, when seen from above, dentate 

 along the sides; pleurse nearly smooth; lower part of the anterior 

 face of first abdominal segment irregularly, confluently punctured, 

 the upper part with fine strisp following around the margin ; sculpture 

 of the following segments hid by the dense pile; pygidium margined 

 laterally, longitudinally striated, at the apex notched; legs normal. 

 Head, legs, and abdomen black; thorax red; insect covered with loose, 

 long hairs; the abdomen with close, dense, black pile; two lateral 

 oval spots on the second segment and a broad band on the third 

 dorsal segment white.

Some of the paratypes are slightly smaller, but do not seem to 

 differ otherwise. 



The following species seem to form a group, but as the descrip- 

 tions deal chiefly with color one can not feel certain. They may be 

 separated as follows: 



Third abdominal segment with the pale hair band reduced to lateral spots; (thorax 



dark red). Upper Burma vicinissma Gribodo. 



Third abdominal segment with a continuous pale hair band 1 



1. Fifth abdominal segment with a pale hair band manillensis Brown. 



Fifth abdominal segment without a pale hair band hroivni Rohwer. 



PSEUDAGENIA CHRYSOSOMA, new species. 



Female. — Length 11.5 mm. Clypeus large, subconvex, anterior 

 margin rounded; head finely granular; third antennal joint almost 

 as long as four and five combined; scutel more than half as long 

 as dorsulum; area behind postscutel rather strongly transversely 

 wrinkled, area at the sides of the postscutel obliquely wrinkled; legs 

 feebly spined; pygidial area very finely granular; on cubitus the 

 second and third cubital cells are subequal; transverse median a 

 little more than its length beyond the basal. Black: mandibles, an-
