' Augochlora flammea, Smith. 
Male. Very like the female, but the clypeus is broadly 
creamy white apically, and the basitarsi are yellowish white. 
S. Lucreola, Vera Cruz, Mexico (Crawford). 
Compared with a 2? from F. Smith’s collection. 
Prosopis wootont, Cockerell. 
Meadow Valley, Mexico, Sept. (C. H. T. Townsend). New 
to Mexico, 
This is true wootont, not P. divergens, which I cons‘der 
distinct. 
Prosopis transvittata, sp. n. 
? (type).—Length about 6 mm. 
Robust, black ; head and thorax dull, very densely punc- 
tured ; cream-coloured markings on head, thorax, and legs; 
clypeus with a broad pale subapical band, which is trilobed 
on lower side; lateral face-marks elongate, filling space 
between clypeus and eye, thence extending upward with a 
slightly crenulate margin, to end obtusely on orbital margin 
a short distance below middle of front; flagellum obscure 
red beneath except at base; prothorax with an interrupted 
yellow band, not nearly reaching tubercles, which are light ; 
tegule with a light spot; bases of tibiee (the hind ones very 
broadly) cream-colour ; area of metathorax dull, finely rugu- 
lose, more coarsely at base. Wings brownish. First abdo- 
minal segment shining, with very fine but distinct punctures ; 
segments 1 to 4 with white apical hair-bands laterally. 
g .—Length about 5°5 mm. 
Black, densely punctured as in the female, but punctures 
of first abdominal segment more distinct; face cream-colour 
up to level of antennz, the broad supraclypeal mark extending 
between antennee, the lateral marks extending upward as 
bands which end obtusely a little below middle of front ; 
scape entirely black, not broadened ; flagellum ferruginous 
beneath ; markings on thorax and tegule as in female ; 
anterior tibiz in front, middle at base, hind on nearly basal 
half, and all the basitarsi light yellow ; lateral abdominal 
hair-bands hardly as distinct as in female.

The female is more distinct on superficial examination than 
the male. By the light clypeal band it resembles P. elliptica, 
Kirby, but it is larger than that, with longer clypeus and
