268 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol.41. 



One specimen sent by Mr. N. B. Sanson, curator of the Rocky- 

 Mountains Park Museum, with the additional information that the 

 specimen was taken on the ''Anthracite Road, altitude 4,700 ft., on 

 June 17, 1908." 



Named in honor of Mr. Sanson. 



Owing to the sparse punctures of the mesoscutum, as well as other 

 characters, this species does not at all resemble the species of the 

 provancheri group, nor is it at all similar to any of the species without 

 any green on them. 



Superfamily PROCTOTRYPOIDEA. 



Family SCELIONID^. 



SCELIO PULCHELLUS, new species. 



Female. — Length about 3.75 mm. Black, scape, pedical and first 

 two or three joints of antennae (the riest missing), and legs, including 

 coxae, fulvous, the coxse somewhat darker; head smooth, polished, 

 with a few scattered, fine punctures; occipital foraminal depression 

 margined, semicircularly striate; pronotum, mesocutum and scu- 

 tellum, coarsely reticulately rugose, a transverse area on middle lobe 

 mesocutum between anterior ends of parapsidal furrows with a few 

 large shallow scattered punctures; parapsidal furrows apparent; 

 parapsidal areas smooth, with large shallow punctures; propodeum 

 reticulate, at apex with two large smooth spots; mesopleurse horizon- 

 tally striate, metapleurse reticulate; wings, except bases, dusky; seg- 

 ments one and two of abdomen longitudinally striate, segment two 

 depressed at base; segment three finely reticulate, segment four with 

 similar sculpture at base, the apex and lateral margins smooth; fol- 

 lowing segments hardly sculptured, ventral segments one and two 

 longitudinally striate, segment three with an area on each side of 

 middle, punctured, segment four with similar smaller area. 



Habitat. — Lake Cowal, New South Wales. 



One specimen bred from eggs of the "small plague locust " (wliich 

 Mr. A. N. Caudell says is the common name of GTiortoicetes pusilla 

 Walker), and sent by Mr. W. W. Froggatt under liis number 96. 



Type.— C&t. No. 13968, U.S.N.M. 



The sparse punctures of the head separate this species from the spe- 

 cies of tills genus described from Australia. 



SCELIO FROGGATTI, new species. 



Female. — Length 5 mm. Black, legs including coxas fulvous; face, 

 cheeks, rear of head and thorax coarsely reticulately rugose; antennal 

 fossa hardly depressed, smooth for two-tliirds the length of the scape; 

 lower part of face with striae converging toward mouth parts; lateral 

 ocelH about one-half their own width from eyes; head deeply exca- 

 vated behind, the occipital foraminal depression margined; antennae
