cies runs to between hilaris Sm. and cognatus Fox., but is 
it er of these and not any of the species of the hilaris group, 
ng easily separated by having the antennz entirely without 
re id other characters. Easily separated from C. snowii 
« which falls in the same place by the naked antennz. Fol- 
vin Dr. Ashmead’s arrangement (Can. Ent.) this species 
, obably form a new genus near Paranthyreus Kohl 
Length about 13 mm.; width of head 3 mm.; width of thorax 
3 length of anterior wing 9 mm. Head wider than thorax, 
closely, evenly and rather finely punctured throughout; line 
ocellus rather faint; ocelli in a low triangle, the distance 
two hind ocelli slightly less than the distance between 
and the nearest eye margin; clypeus rounded anteriorly, middle 
clavate, covered with microscopic pile; pronotum strongly 
dentate laterally, the anterior face longitudinally 
, transversely striate above, striato-punctate below, meso-pectus 
metathorax obliquely striate from middle; 
very finely transversely striated; middle fur- 
strong; slightly foveolate on posterior face;
