male from L,a Cueva, Organ Mountains, caught by Carl Town- 

 send, has the tegmina 31 mm. ; this specimen, though very red 

 about the thorax and femora, keeps the white color of the con- 

 spicuous band on the tegmina. 



L. wheeleri irom Roswell has the tegmina 40 mm. in?, 33 

 in S . The antennae of the S seem rather longer than in that 

 sex of cyaneus. 



Leprus glaucipennis, Scudder, I met with last year in August 

 at I,a Jolla, San Diego County, California. It is considerably 

 smaller than L. cyaneus, and the blue of the wings has a slight 



greenish tint.

A New Species of Dyseidopus Kriechbaumer 

 (Pimplinae.) 



By J. Chester Bradley, Philadelphia. 



Dyseidopus is a genus of the tribe Xoridini closely related to 

 Echthrus, from which it is distinguished by the venation of the 

 wings. In Echthrus the transverse medial nervure in the hind 

 wings is broken above the middle, and the disco-cubital nervure 

 of the front wings is broken by the stump of a vein. In Dysei- 

 dopus the transverse medial nervure is broken below the mid- 

 dle, and the disco-cubital nervure is not broken by the stump 

 of a vein. Dyseidopus was founded by Kriechbaumer (Ann. 

 k. k. nath. Hofm. v. p. 489, 1890,) on a unique female from 

 Brazil, and this is the only record of the genus we have hitherto 

 had. It is with interest, therefore, that I record the occur- 

 rence of a new form from a place so distant from Brazil as Van- 

 couver, thereby adding not only a species but a genus to our 

 faunal list. 



Dyseidopus vancouverensis sp. nov.— cf Black ; legs entirely rufo-testa- 

 ceous ; face albo-maculate ; wings hyaline. Length 14 5 mm. 



Head transverse ; temples narrow ; black except for a broad white line 

 on each side of the face, starting opposite the insertion of the antennae, 

 and covering the basal half of mandibles ; clypeus also white ; occiput 

 and cheeks shiny, very sparsely punctate ; antennae polyarticulate, black, 

 scape testaceous beneath. Thorax black, shiny, very sparsely punctate 

 dorsally ; more closely punctate laterally, and quite coarsely roughened 

 posteriorly on the metathorax, which is carinate. Wings hyaline ; trans-
