KRIEGERIA, neAA^ genus. . 



This new genus is based upon a single male specimen, not in the 

 best condition, the tarsi being more or less broken and not a single 

 claw left, taken by Miss C. S. Ludlow, on the island of Mindanao. 

 It is, however, a true Xoridini, but not closel}^ allied to any of the 

 known genera. 



The head is subquadrate, deeply, semicircularly concave behind, the 

 temples and cheeks buccate; the mandibles are strong, bidentate at 

 apex and project sufficiently to leave a slight opening between them 

 and the cl3^peus; the clypeus has a slight median tooth anteriorly; 

 the thorax is long, about five times as long as wide, the pronotum 

 deeply, concavely depressed into a neck anteriorly; the mesonotum is 

 about two and a half times as long as wide, with deep punctate parap- 

 sidal furrows that converge posteriorly and then curve and meet just 

 before reaching the base of the scutellum; the metathorax is much 

 longer than wide, with a transverse carina toward the base, inclosing 

 two large basal areas, but without other carina^ or areas; the legs are 

 normal; the abdomen is elongate, much longer than the head and 

 thorax united, slightly narrowed anteriorly, the first segment petioli- 

 form, only a little thicker at apex than at base. Seen from the side it is 

 slightly curved, with the spiracles placed a little behind the middle but 

 far from its apex; the following segjnents are closely punctate, opaque, 

 without furrows or swellings of any kind; segments 3 to 6 are very 

 nearly equal in length, wider than long, about two-thirds the length 

 of the second, which is much longer than wide at apex — as long, or 

 nearly as long, as the first. The wings have a venation similar to a 

 Cryptine, the areolet being pentagonal, the sides strongl}^ convergent 

 above, the stigma lanceolate, the suljmedian cell a little shorter than 

 the median; the transverse median nervure in the hind wings is angu- 

 larly broken just a little below the middle. 



This interesting new genus is named in honor of Dr. Richard 

 Krieger, of Leipzig, Germany, whose excellent contributions on the 

 exotic Pimplinse are well known to all active H3mienopterologists. 



i6. KRIEGERIA HEPTAZONATA, new species. 



Male. — Length 12 mm. Black; the hind orbits broadl}', the inner 

 upper orbits, a broad band across the face beneath the antenna^, a trans- 

 verse spot on the disk of the cl3qieus, the palpi, the front and middle 

 cox« and trochanters, a broad annulus near the base of the middle and 

 hind tibiffi, the hind coxiB at base and a longitudinal stripe above, the 

 anterior margin of the prothorax, the upper hind angles of same, the 

 tegulae, a spot beneath, a large spot on the mesopleura, an elongate 

 spot on the middle mesothoracic lobe posteriorly, the scutellum, the 

 space back of the insertion of the hind wings, a large quadrate spot at 

 the apex of the metanotum, and bands at apex of all the abdominal
