and first two ventral segments white or yellowish- white ; legs white 

 or slightly yellowish, most of the posterior coxae and the posterior 

 femora above black. Wings dusky hyaline, darker in the radial cell, 

 iridescent; venation dark brown, except the lower part of the stigma, 

 which is yellowish.

In the elevated scutellum this species differs from the genotype 

 (AtJilopJiorus Mugii Burmeister), but there are no other differences 

 of importance which can be found from the elaborate description of 

 Burmeister. There is, however, a tendency to the elevation of the 

 scutellum in some Nearctic Strongylogasteroidese Ashmead.

CHRYSIS (Chrysls) FUKAII, new species. 



Belongs near Chrysis (CJirysis) principalis (Smith), but the first 

 joint of the flagellum is nearly as long as the two following (not but 

 little longer than the second), the transverse facial carina is almost 

 wanting (not distinctly present), the facial basin is sculptured as 

 coarsely as the rest of the front, and the notauli are nearly parallel 

 throughout and the anterior part between them is sculptured like the 

 rest (not strongly diverging) . The above comparison was made with 

 specimens from Burmah. Chrysis {GTirysis) schiodtei Dahlbom has 

 the metanotum (postscutellum of authors) different, and teeth of the 

 apical margin of the third abdominal segment are different. 



Female. — Length 9 mm. Clypeus nearly truncate at the apex; 

 malar space slightly less than the length of the pedicellum; facial 

 basin sculptured similar to the rest of the head but more finely so; 

 orbital carina strong, anterior ocellus distinctly hooded posteriorly; 

 postocellar line slightly longer than the ocellocular line, but slightly 

 shorter than the ocelloccipital line; third antennal joint nearly as 

 long as the fourth and fifth combined; head and thorax with large, 

 close, and in a few places confluent, punctures; pronotum about as 

 long as the scutellum, distinctly shorter than the mesonotum, 

 depressed in the anterior middle; notauli distinct and nearly parallel; 

 metanotum convex, not ^depressed and separated from the pro- 

 podeum by broad oblique furrows; first dorsal segment with large 

 close punctures basally, fuie scattered ones apically; second and third 

 segments with distinct widely separate punctures, those on the second 

 more widely separate than those on the first; lateral margin of the 

 third segment nearly straight, the depressed apical groove with 

 twelve well-defiiied pits; apical margins with six teeth, the distance
