2. PSEUDAGENIA IMITATOR, new species. 



7^d;rta?(?.— Length 5.5 mm. Resembles P. rufofemorata, but is much 

 smaller, less densely pubescent, and more shining, the punctuation 

 ditferent and with ditierent colored legs, the palpi being entirely fer- 

 ruginous. The middle and hind coxa?, their femora, and the base of 

 the hind tibire, are red; the front legs, except the coxa?, trochanters, 

 except narrowly at apex, and the base of the femora, which are black, 

 are dark brownish, the rest of the legs are black, or fuscous black; 

 the thorax, although shin}', is finely shagreened, the pronotum with 

 some sparse scattered punctures, the mesonotum with coarse, thimble- 

 like punctures on each side of a triangular impunctate space down the 

 center; the metathorax is rugulosely reticulately sculptured, without 

 a median sulcus, but with a slight median carina or elevated line 

 toward its base, the pubescence at apex dense is silvery white; the 

 abdomen is smooth and hig-hly polished, the first segment being- 

 entirely bare; the whitish or .silvery white pubescence is distinct and 

 somewhat dense on the sides of the second and third segments, while 

 on the following segments, except the pygidium and the segments 

 luedially, it covers most of the surface. The wings are as in the pre- 

 vious species, except that the front wings have a ver}- faint fuscous 

 tinge across their disks, not sufficiently distinct to be called a band. 

 The pronotuiu is transverse-quadrate and \Qvy nearly as long as the 

 mesonotum. 



Type.—C^t. No. 8437, U.S.N.M. 



Manila. One specimen (Father Rol)ert Brown), 



3. SPILOPOMPILUS STANTONI, new species. 



Female. — Length 6 mm. Black and shining, marked with white, 

 as follows: A stripe on hind orbits, the front orbits, a large spot on 

 each side of the clypeus anteriorly, a spot at base of the mandibles, 

 the palpi, except the last two joints, the hind margin of the protho- 

 rax, a spot above the base of the front coxti?, a spot at the apex of the 

 front femora, a spot at base of tibia?, the tibial spurs and some of 

 the spines of the legs, a stripe at base of hind tibia? hehind., and two 

 large, transverse spots at base of the third dorsal abdominal segment, 

 are white. VVing-s fuscou.s, the stigma, except a spot in the center, 

 and the A'eins being black or brown-black. 



7}//v.— Cat. No. 8438, U.S.N.M. 



Manila. This interesting species was received from Father W. A. 

 Stanton nearly two years ago. It resembles a North American 

 species, Splloi>oi)ij)lIus {Pompilus) hlguttatus Fabricius, very closely 

 and could be easily confounded with it; but it is much smaller, with 

 the white markings different. S. ItignfUdtix has the legs wholly black, 

 without the white stripe at base of the hind tibia?, so conspicuous in 

 8. ^tantoni.
