HYMENOPTERA FROM E0WP:R CALIFORNIA. 97 



is finely punctured, and just behind them, on the verge of 

 the truncation, there is a transverse row of similar foveas 

 extending from side to side; propleuree punctured, with 

 some striations on lower portion, the metapleurse coarsely 

 striated; the abdomen punctured similarly as in the ? ; 

 last dorsal segment strongly carinated medially. Length 

 9— II mm. 



San Jose del Cabo, October; El Chinche, September. 

 Nine specimens. The black clypeus of 6 and color of 

 wings of ? will separate it from albilabris. The wings 

 of ? are subfuscous, with the nervures and stigma black. 

 In the 5 they are subhyaline, with a fuscous stain at tip 

 of marginal cell. The punctation of abdomen will 

 separate it from Pm'ati^hia ( E^omidiopteron) Sniithii 

 Cam. 



ScoLiA BADiA Sauss. El Taste, on the west side, Sep- 

 tember, and 3,400 feet. San Jose del Cabo, October. 

 The 5 , which has hitherto been undescribed, is colored 

 like the 5 , except that the vertex, scape and greater part 

 of dorsulum are black ; sometimes the dorsulum is en- 

 tirely black. 



ScoLiA Lecontei Cress. Three specimens. San Jose 

 del Cabo, October. One specimen lacks the yellow on 

 scutellum and first and second abdominal segment, and 

 the yellow on pronotum is reduced to two small spots 

 on anterior portion. 



ScoLiA CONSORS Sauss. One specimen. San Jose 

 del Cabo, October. 



ScoLiA RiDiNGsii Cress. San Jose del Cabo, October. 

 There exists a remarkable similarity between this species 

 and Elis xantiana ? . The ground color and markings 

 are almost exactW the same, and at a first glance these 

 species would be taken to be one and the same.
