(7) Gl. lohgipennis Corti. — Described in 1895. Carries Tr. 

 brucci and probably another trypanosome of camels and mules. 

 Brownish; dorsum of thorax with four sharp, dark oval spots 

 in form of parallelogram, two in front and two behind trans- 

 verse suture. Bulb of proboscis brown at tip. Large species. 

 Length 10- 11 mm. 



(8) Gl. fuse a Walker. — Described in 1849. Thorax drab. 

 No spots on dorsum of thorax as in preceding ; bulb at base of 

 proboscis not brown at tip (pale yellow) ; abdomen russet 

 brown. Large pale species. Length 11 -12 mm. 



In conclusion, I wish to thank Mr. Austen, the well-known 



authority on Tse-tse flies, who kindly examined and described 



my collections and suggested to me the study of the distribution 



and pathological importance of the subspecies discussed in this 



paper.

New species of Vespoidea from Connecticut. 



By H. L. Viereck. 

 Tiphia waldonii n. sp. 



Related to Horidana, from which it is readily distinguished 

 by its structure and the color of the wings. 



<$ 8 mm. — Color black. Face shining in part, largely opaque, and 

 mostly closely punctured, the punctures adjoining and sufficiently coarse 

 to give a rugulose appearance. The portion of the face immediately 

 anterior to the anterior ocellus is shining and has well separated punc- 

 tures. The vertex is sculptured in the same way as the preceding area. 

 The distance between the posterior ocelli is not quite as great as that 

 between them and the nearest eye margin. The second joint of the 

 antennae nearly as thick as the third and of the same length or a trifle 

 shorter. Excepting the first joint, the joints of the antennae are sub- 

 equal. Pronotum distinctly margined anteriorly. The pronotum, meso- 

 notum and scutellum punctured in much the same way as the vertex. 

 The postscutellum reticulate. The metanotum with two oblong areas, 

 that are adjoining and approximately three times as long as wide at 

 base, being a little narrower at the apex than at the base. These areas 

 are formed by rather distinct raised lines, and the spaces themselves 

 are somewhat shining and somewhat roughened. The first abdominal 

 segment approximately as in iioridana. The median tuberculate im- 

 punctate at apex of first dorsal abdominal segment extending to the 

 apical margin. The succeeding abdominal segments all punctured, the 

 apical more closely than the basal segments. The wings are hyaline,
