Male allotype: Length to extremity of spine, 9 mm. Black; 
apical part of mandibles reddish, carina under first antennal joint 
yellowish brown, tarsi more or less brown, wings infuscate. Sculp- 
tured and punctate very much as in M. punctata, it being very 
close to the latter and the slightly larger fuscipennis. Antennae 
with article 3 shorter than 4, the terminal articles well rounded out 
beneath. It may be separated from punctata chiefly by its darker 
wings. I am unable to find differences in the genitalia of the three 
species. The foveae in the gular suture of monticola are nearly 
obsolete, whereas they are well developed in the other two species. 
The pronotum is practically impunctate for all but its anterior 
third or so, and the head about the gular region is not strongly 
punctate. 
Type 19 ; paratypes 12 and 1’; all from Baguio, 5000 feet, 
Luzon, end of June, 1917. 
Methoca fuscipennis, n. sp. 
Male, type: Length, 11 mm. Black, wings infuscate. Much 
like the two preceding species, though more coarsely punctate. 
From punctata it is separated chiefly by its smoke-tinged wings, 
and it differs from monticola by the presence of w ell- marked 
transverse foveae, strong puncturation about gular area and by 
its pronotum, which is punctate for its first two-thirds or so. 
Type 1¢, Makiling forest, Los Banos, March, 1917; paratypes 
24, College of Agriculture, June and July, 1917. 
PSAMMOCHARIDAE. 
Pseudagenia caerulescens, n. sp. (Fig. 14.) 
Female, type: Length, 8.75 mm. Head rather dull greenish 
blue; thorax metallic blue, with a little purplish lustre ; abdomen 
blue with a greenish lustre; antennae rather light brown; tarsi of 
forelegs, more or less, apical portion of mandibles, posterior 
margin of terminal abdominal segments, and pygidium brown. 
Head wider than thorax, ae oe. finely and closely punc- 
tured clypeus with disc evenly convex, its marginal profile a 
low obtuse wedge with the basal portion steeper ‘and the whole 
somewhat rounded ; clypeo-frontal suture with somewhat more 
than its middle third subtruncate into the frons; antennae with 
article 3 longer than 4; only a slight swelling between the ocell1. 
Pronotum with posterior margin broadly angulate ; pro- and meso- 
notum exceedingly finely and close punctured; metanotum with a 
few transverse striae on sides; postnotum about one-third as long 
as metanotum, sulcate in the middle and with one or more trans- 
verse carinae ; propodeum gently rounded, with a shallow, rather
