follows from his description of that species: no depression on 
posterior face beneath spine, sides of abdomen are not parallel, 
the wings are strongly dusky, nervures brown. 
Crabro (Paranothyreus Koll.) gillettei n. sp. 
@. Length about 7 mm. Clypets broadly truncate, very finely punc- 
tured. some large punctures near margin, carina very low and broad; 
mandibles with a small subapical tooth, at apex obtusely truncate; width 
of eyes at the clypeus a little more than the width of the clypeus; facial 
basin smooth, shining, not strongly margined above; between the ocelli 
and the facial basin the head is striated with irregular strie; outer orbits 
and head back of ocelli shining, with sparse, fine punctures; ocelli in 
a low triangle, the distance between the lateral ones and the nearest 
eye margin about the same; lateral ocelli back of a line drawn between 
the superior orbits; furrow from lower ocellus distinct, strong, extend- 
ing to base of antenne; pronotum not carinated or dentate, anterior 
angles sharp, but without teeth; most of dorsulum and scutellum shin- 
ing, sparsely punctured with rather small punctures; anterior margin 
of dorsulum with short longitudinal strie; middle of dorsulum from 
anterior margin with a distinct carina; mesopleura shining, punctured 
like dorsulum, below tegule there is a distinct pit; enclosure and sides 
of metathorax not strongly defined; enclosure with a few longitudinal 
strie; middle furrow shallow, not extending on posterior face, slightly 
broader at apex; posterior face with a triangular fovea, apex beneath; 
finely reticulate; metapleura finely, transversely striate; longest spur 
of hind tibiz not as long as the first joint of hind tarsi; abdomen im- 
punctate; pygidium broad, flat, sparsely punctured with large punctures. 
Black; ocelli (dry) reddish; two spots on pronotum, tubercles, spot 
on scutellum, line on postscutellum, four anterior tibize, except within, 
posterior tibiz at base, spot on each side of first three abdominal seg- 
ments (the two apical segments have faint indications of spots), 
yellow; tarsi testaceous; wings at base yellowish at apex hyaline, 
nervures and stigma testaceous; the usual pubescence undoubtedly 
occurs, but the specimen is somewhat worn and it is wanting.
