SUPERFAMILY MUTILLOIDEA. 
FAMILY PSAMMOCHARIDAE. 
Subfamily Ceropalinae. 
Genus Xanthampulex Schulz. 
This genus belongs to the Psammocharidae, as has already

Female —Length, 8.5 mm. Anterior margin of the labrum 
narrowly arcuately emarginate; anterior margin of the clypeus 
truncate; inner orbits slightly raised; prominence between the
