are wanting in the original description, and the unique specimen 

 of JV. globiceps was without abdomen, while the only details as to 

 the hind legs are that the coxae are trans-striate and the femora 

 elongate. 



Apparently very like JW globiceps Enderl., but frons less 

 arcuately rugose, space between tubercles trans-striate, sculpture 

 of occiput coarser and the impression less deep, puncturation of 

 metapleui^ae and median segment confluent. 



6. ALBOMACULATUS Cam. 



Fcenatopus albomaculalus Cam. (7), p. 18, $ . 



^ . Frons closely and regularly reticulated ; vertex dull, 

 irregularly reticulate, with a transcarina behind tubercles ; 

 occiput irregularly closely striate, with an indistinct longitudinal 

 impression. Second and third flagellar joints of equal length. 

 Neck irregularly trans-striate, semiannular lightly reticulate ; 

 mesonotum basally reticulate, laterally obliquely striate ; scutellum 

 smooth and dull. Mesopleurae smooth ; metapleuree finely 

 reticulate. Median segment with round, clearly sepauated 

 punctures, and microscopic sculpture. Petiole as long as thorax ; 

 terebra as long as body, sheaths black. Hind coxas dull, coarsely 

 aciculate, basally reticulate, apically striate ; hind femora with a 

 blunt, rounded basal tooth and two other long-pointed teeth. 



Black ; clypeus and a large spot on malar region whitish 

 testaceous ; mandibles basally a,nd the carina on vertex rufescent ; 

 base and apex of petiole- and a transverse spot at base of second 

 segment white. Wings hyaline ; stigma and nervures black. 



Length 12 mm.; terebra 12 mm.

Neostephanus peniheri Kieffer (2), p. 101 ; Morley (1), p. 1 1 1, c^ . 



S . Frons dull, reticulate ; vertex with two transcarinae ; 

 occiput finely rugose. Antennae normal. Prothorax trans-

 bidentate ; tibiae compressed in basal half ; tarsi five-jointed, meta- 

 tarsus longer than the four following joints. 



Red-brown ; mandibles black, antennae basally pale, base and
