Male, allotype: Length, 6 mm. Slender. Colored about as in 
the female, but the antennae are blackish, except for the two basal 
articles, which are brownish, the first being quite pale beneath ; 
the clypeus is rather narrowly margined with white, as also the 
face along the lower half or more of the inner eye margin; the 
abdomen is a dark blue-black with a portion of the sides of the 
first two segments brownish in certain lights, and the apical mar- 
gins of the segments whitish. The clypeus is only slightly 
convex; it 1s basally well rounded into the face and the apical 
margin is broadly truncate; antennae not long, nor very slender, 
articles 3 and 4 subequal. The sculpture and hair are about as 
in the female, but the propodeum is flatter, with a wide, well- 
marked median furrow and the transverse rugulae reduced and 
substituted by reticulations. Venation as in the female. Sixth 
visible ventral segment with a low subtruncate median lobe; spine 
of lateral lobes proximate to median lobe; seventh ventral seg- 
ment sharply wedge-shaped, sides a little concave below apex; the 
carina apically linear, becoming broader and flat posteriorly. 
Type 1 @, building a clay nest at Los Banos, July, 1917. Para- 
tiyipemle oe. Allotype is a son of type, Los Bafios, 1917. 
The paratypes have on the w hole darker antennae. 
Resembles makilingi in color, but is smaller, and has a shorter 
postnotum. 
Pseudagenia macromeroides, n. sp. (Fig. 16.) 
Female, type: Length, 11.5 mm. Rather dull black with sil- 
very grey pubescence; apex of trochanters partly, and posterior 
edge of abdominal segments narrowly, yellowish brown, antennae 
and legs with a tinge of brownish, wings hyaline. Head short, 
wider “than thorax, very finely and closely punctured ; clypeus 
convex, its marginal profile well rounded out, slightly w edge- 
shaped, median third of clypeo-frontal suture truncate into frons 
and there very shallowly emarginate; a delicate shallow  fur- 
row from anterior ocellus to betw een antennae ; article 3 of anten- 
nae considerably longer than 4, which is subequal to 5; ocelli in a 
rather low triangle. Pronotum with well-rounded shoulders, the 
posterior margin very broadly angulate, almost arcuate, and to- 
gether with the meso- and metanotum exceedingly finely punc- 
tured, the last with transverse striae at sides; postnotum about 
one-half as long as metanotum, medially sulcate for its posterior 
portion and with about 4 transverse carinae; propodeum gently 
rounded, emarginate at base and with hardly a trace of a furrow 
except on posterior face, and with fine and close transverse rugu- 
lae, almost granulate ; spiracle opening narrowly oblong, pidece at
