The Hymrnoptera of the Georgetown Museum. 113 



The basal 2 teeth on the femora are separated by double the distance the others 

 are from each other ; the 2nd from the base is smaller than the others ; the 

 3rd and 4th are the longest ; all are oblique. Pro- and mesonotum trans- 

 versely rugosely punctured ; the scutellum closely reticulated ; its apex in 

 the middle behind the apical keel depressed, bordered laterally by 3 or 4 keels. 

 Pro- and mesonotum thickly covered with black, the scutellum and meso- 

 notum with longer white pubescence. Pro- and mesopleurae smooth, the 

 latter with 2 oblique furrows, the lower one the longer ; both strongly striated. 

 Abdominal petiole twice longer than wide ; the abdomen as long as the head 

 and thorax united ; gradually narrowed from the middle to the apex. Female. 

 Length. 9 m.m. 



Heptasmicra lycaence, sp. n. 



Ytllow, the mesonotum and scutellum slightly darker coloured, the 

 antennal scape above, the flagellum, the centre of the hollowed central part 

 of the front, the black extending shortly behind the anterior ocellus, the 

 occiput, a large roundly bifuicated mark, united at the base by a narrower 

 line and united to the scutellum by a still thicker line, slightly narrowed at the 

 base ; a wide transverse line at the base of the scutellum, a line down the 

 sides of the latter at the base, narrowed above, and not reaching to the top, 

 a mark on the inner side of the outer lobe, becoming gradually widened to 

 shortly beyond the middle, then narrowed towards the apex, a longish tri- 

 angular mark in the centre of the scutellum, the narrowed end at the base, 

 the apex rounded, the depressed base of the mesopleurae, a large transverse 

 mark, narrowed inwardly, on the outer side of the 2nd abdominal segment 

 and lines on the apices of the 3rd, 4th and 5th, widened on the outer tdge 

 and united down the middle by a narrower line, the whole of the 6th. the 

 apex of the hind coxae, the mark narrowed in the centre, a line, 4 times longer 

 than wide, narrowed at the base and apex on the outer side of the hind femora 

 above, nearer the base than the apex, a large mark, between the basal 3 teeth, 

 extending across to the middle, where it is slightly narrowed towards the 

 middle on the inner side, a smaller, wider mark, widened and rounded above, 

 an oblique squarish mcrk on the apex on the inrer side and a semicircular 

 one at the base below, close to the teeth and the basal and apical fourth of the 

 hind tibiae, black. Femoral tteth longish, stout, the basal 3 slightly smaller 

 than the others. Apex of scutellum broadly rounded. Metanotum regularly 

 closely areolated ; there are 3 rows of areas ; there are 2 large central, wider 

 than long, on the 2nd row ; narrowed at the apex in the centre ; this inden- 

 tation is closed at the apex by a keel ; it is followed by a large, wider than 

 long, area. Abdominal petiole short, twice longer than wide. Male. Length, 

 6-7 m m.

Reddish yellow, the flagellum of antennae black, fuscous below the lower 

 part of the occiput, the basal three-fourths of the central lobe of mesonotum, 

 a semicircular mark on the lateral lobes, narrower than the outer part, a
