short, third joint shorter than fourth, face above antennae swollen 

 and sloping to vertex, densely long-haired, vertex, seen from in front, 

 almost conically produced in middle between the ocelli, more promi- 

 nent than in other species; pronotum longer than usual, arcuate 

 behind, densely long-haired; metanotum low and rather long, hairy, 

 with a polished median line; abdomen rather depressed, hairy all 

 over; legs moderately short, and strongly spined, all coxae and femora 

 hairy; inner spur of the hind tibia nearly two thirds of basi tarsus. 

 Wings black, basal vein interstitial with the transverse, second sub- 

 marginal cell plainly longer than broad, receiving the first recurrent 

 vein at tip, third submarginal cell about as long as the second, nar- 

 rowed above, receiving the second recurrent vein at middle; marginal 

 cell rather long, acute; in the hind wings the cubital fork interstitial 

 with end of the cell. Length, 10 mm. 



Differs from allies in more raised area at ocelli, and the longer 

 pronotum. 



Anoplius bolli, sp. nov. 



Type — M. C.Z. m,0\7. Texas: Dallas. Jacob Boll. One speci- 

 men. 



cf Black, densely silvery pubescent, and white haired on head and 

 posterior part of metanotum; posterior margin of pronotum white; 

 silvery patch each side of the scutellum, postscutellum silvery above 

 and silvery band across apex of metanotum; abdomen \\ith silvery 

 band on bases of first, second, and third segments, the fourth with a 

 large oblique patch each side, the fifth and sixth wholly silvery above. 

 In structure and proportions closely similar to A. (A philoctenus) 

 virginienMs. The spines on the legs are rather longer, the inner spur 

 of hind tibia is shorter, being less than three fourths of the basitarsus; 

 wings and venation much like A. virginicnsis, but the third submarginal 

 is rather longer. The fourth ventral segment of the male has a dense 

 tuft of black hair, much heavier than in A . mrginiensis, and few hairs 

 on the other segments. Length, 11 mm.
