concave depression, the ocellar furrow deeper and linear; the postocellar area 

 sharply defined and convex with a mesal furrow; the ocellar anas not stronj 

 elevated and only slightly elevated ventrad of the lateral ocelli, enlarged adjacent 

 to the frontal crest; the frontal crest narrow, strongly elevated, and not inter- 

 rupted; the ocellar basin distinct but short and surrounding the median ocellus; 

 the median fovea a deep pit twice as long as wide; the supraclypeal area convex 

 and setaceous; antennae roughened, the third segment snorter than the fourth, 

 the fourth and fifth subequal; the pronotum and the cephalic part of the 

 mesonotum roughened, the remainder of the median lobe and of the lateral 

 lobes polished, with sparse punctures; the mcsopleura finely densely roughened ; 

 the mesosternum and metapleura polished and setaceous; the wings hyaline, 

 the costa and stigma pale, the veins brownish, and the stigma long with the 

 caudal margin nearly straight; the claws not deeply cleft, the outer ray distinct Ly 

 longer than the inner; the abdomen indistinctly granular and sparsely setaceous ; 

 the saw-guides with the dorsal margin straight, the ventral margin gradually 

 rounded, and the distal end broadly, obliquely, truncately rounded; the colour 

 black with the following parts brownish: the head except the antennal furrows 

 and the median fovea and a spot about the ocelli and the occiput, the pronotum 

 in great part, the tegulse in part, a V-shaped mark on the parapsidial grooves, 

 the axillse, the cephalic half of the mesoscutellum, a large mark on each pleuron, 

 the distal third of the femora, the tibiae, and the saw-guides; the distal segments 

 of the mesotarsi and metatarsi more or less infuscated. Length, 5-5 mm. 



West of Konganevik, Camden bay, Alaska, July 4, 1914. Specimen 

 No. 520. 



The elongate median fovea, the form of the clypeus, and the colouration 

 will separate this species from fulvipes Norton, to which it is related. 



Amauronematus cogitatus, n. sp. 



Female. — Head, except the clypeus and labrurn, roughened throughout, 

 more distinctly on the mesal portion, and setaceous; clypeus polished, narrowly, 

 deeply, roundly emarginate, clypeal lobes large, triangular, blunt projections; 

 the labrum polished, broadly rounded, densely setaceous near the margin; 

 antennal furrows almost completely interrupted ventral of the lateral ocelli, 

 deep and broad ventrad of the interruption, the verticad furrows linear and 

 distinct, not interrupting the caudal margin of the head; the ocellar furrow a 

 broad round depression, almost wanting; the interocellar furrow obsolete 

 probably represented by a distinct mesal pit in the ocellar furrow; the ocellar 

 areas flat, only slightly elevated for the lateral ocelli, continuous with the frontal 

 crest; the frontal crest not elevated above the ocellar areas, lateral walls 

 precipitous which is due to the deep antennal furrows, interrupted by a deep 

 linear mesal furrow, this furrow not interrupting the ocellar areas and not con- 

 nected with the minute ocellar basin located ventrad of the medial) ocellus; 

 the median fovea round, deep, pit-like, and continuous with the furrow inter- 

 rupting the frontal crest; the supraclypeal area elevated, the mesal portion Hat, 

 continuous with the interrupted longitudinal portions of the frontal crest; 

 antennae wanting beyond the second segment; the pronotum, mesopleura. and 

 metapostscutellum densely finely punctured; the median and lateral lobes of 

 the mesonotum, the mesoscutellum, the metascutum, the ventral half of the 

 metapleura, and the mesosternum with sparsely placed round pits bearing setae, 

 more abundant on the median lobe of the mesonotum; the wings with the 

 stigma and costa pale, the veins only slightly darkened; the claws deeply cleft, 

 the inner rays shorter than the outer, obliquely truncate; the abdomen polished, 

 sparsely setaceous; the saw-guides stout, convex, the dorsal and ventral margins 

 strongly convergent, the distal end short and bluntly rounded; the colour black 

 with the following parts rufous: the ventral ends of the ocellar areas, the inner
