DoMcrilxMl from S speclimMis receivtMl from Mr. NV. Hajjuc Harrington. 

 The species bears no resemblance to any other species ])laced in this 

 genus, but ilosely resembles Loxotropa iHZinnacho'uUn Ashn>., with 

 which it was confused in my collection. It is, however, readily sepa- 

 rated from that species by the entire absence of a fovea at base of scu- 

 telluui and the slight ditierence in the shape of the anteniue. 



Phaenopria affinis, Hp. uov. . 



9. Length, 1.2""". Apterous; polishe<l black, impunctured; an- 

 tennae, except the 4-jointed club, and the legs reddish-yellow. 



Anteuuie 12-jointed, ending in a 4-jointed club, the joints of the cluk 

 very gradually increasing in size; funicle subcylindrical, the tirst joint 

 about as long as the pedicel, the following joints verj gradually shorten- 

 ing, the last two a little thickened, and none less than tvice as long as 

 thick. Cheeks behindpubescent; collar, metiithorax, and petiole woolly. 

 Abdomen oblong-oval, wider than the thorax, the sei;ond segment over- 

 lapping the apex of the petiole, the latter scarcely longer than thick. 



Habitat. — District of Columbia. 



Type in Coll. Ashmead. 



A siMgle specimen received from Mr. E. A. Schwarz. 

 Smaller and quite distinct from P. aptera in the color of the autennJB 

 and legs and in having different shaped antennai. 



Phaenopria parva, sp. nov. 



i. Length, 0.8""". Apterous; polished black, impunctured; anten- 

 nae, coxee, tiochanters, base of tibiie, and tarsi honey-yellow; rest of 

 the legs rufous. The antennte are long, 14-jointed, sparsely pubescent, 

 the first and second flagellar joints long, subequal, the second slightly 

 the shorter, a little curved and dilated toward apex; the following 

 joints, except the last, oval-moniliform, nearly e«pial; 1^ times as long 

 as thick, the last conical, longer than the preceding. 



Habitat, — District of Columbia. . 



Type in Coll. Ashmead. 



A single specimen from Mr. E. A. Schwarz, and possibly the oppo- 

 site sex of P. affinia. 



Phaenopria montana, sp. nov. 



S . Length, 1""". Differs from P. parva as follows: The antennae 

 are piceous or black, the first and second funiclar joints long, subequal, 

 the second, angidately produced toward apex, the following joints 

 elliptic-oval, fully twice as long as thick ; metapleura and petiole yel- 

 lowish, but still woolly, while the coxae are rufous, not honey-yellow. 



Habitat. — Santa Cruz Mountains, California. 



Type in Coll. Ashmead. 



A single specimen obtained by purchase. The difference in the 

 length of the flagellar joints and the color of the metapleura and 

 petiole will readily distinguish the species.
