7i8 T. D. A. COCKERELL 



HYMENOPTERA 



Cryptocheilus hypogaeus n.sp. 



?. Robust, about 17 mm. long; anterior wings about loj 

 mm. ; antennae thick, about 6^ mm. long, not curled up at end ; legs 

 apparently normal for the genus; metathorax with strong transverse 

 grooves. Head and thorax black, abdomen dark, possibly brown 

 in life; antennae with scape dark, flagellum ferruginous; femora 

 dark, tibiae and tarsi probably ferruginous in life; wings with two 

 transverse dark clouds, one at and just beyond the basal nervure, 

 with a lobe extending apicad, the other, large and diffused, below the 

 base of the marginal cell; the large pale area between the bands may 

 have been orange or yellowish, a suggestion of this color remaining; 

 apical region and margin of wing pallid. Venation ordinary; upper 

 angle of second submarginal cell less than a right angle; outer 

 border of third submarginal cell very faint, seen with difficulty. 

 Claws rather short, with a single large sub -basal tooth, the outer side 

 of which presents a gentle slope, instead of being vertical as Bing- 

 ham figures for Cryptocheilus nicevillii {Salius nicevillii Bingh.). 



The following wing-measurements are in microns. I give also 

 some measurements which I made from the type of Cryptocheilus 

 laminarum {Salius laminarum Roh.).
