AET. 8 NEW HYMENOPTEEA, SUBFAMILY AlsrTEONIIS"AE FENTON" 3 



without definite sculpturing, a carina extending from median ocel- 

 lus to bases of antennae ; clypeus and mandibles testaceous ; antennae 

 long, slightly subclavate, four basal joints, basal part of fifth, and 

 tenth testaceous, rest fuscous, structure as in Figure 15. Prothorax 

 longer than wide (15:13), with scattered pilosity, divided by an 

 arcuate transverse impression into two lobes, of which the anterior 

 is shorter and wider, the posterior elevated ; the entire pronotum is 

 broader anteriorly and narrows posteriorly, so that there is a con- 

 striction between it and the mesoscutum, anterior part with many 

 fine striae running outward and downward from the dorsum, pos- 

 terior portion with indistinct areolation on sides, central elevated part 

 smooth ; mesoscutum much wider than prothorax, roughly triangular 

 in outline, covered with scattered fine white hairs, shallowly punc- 

 tate, without parapsidal furrows; scutellum almost rectangular, 

 shallowly punctate except on its posterior third which is smooth and 

 polished; legs testaceous, posterior unusually long, anterior trochan- 

 ters and coxae extended; chela well developed; wings brown except 

 unpigmented area extending across the middle from below the ptero- 

 stigma to the margin of the wing and also apical portion, the pig- 

 mented area in this case extending from the radius across the apical 

 cells but not reaching the margin. Propodeum black, in profile the 

 posterior part truncate and with this portion flat, longitudinally 

 striate with smaller cross striations between the longitudinal ones. 



Type locality. — Bermuda.

CYRTOGONATOPUS CLAVICORNIS, new species 



This species traces to Cyrtogonatopus in Kieffer's key because the 

 fourth joint of fore tarsus is less than one-half as long as metatarsus. 

 It differs from Kieffer's brief description of this genus in the follow- 

 ing characters: The vertex is not convex, but is practically flat, ap- 

 pearing very slightly indented in front view where the ocelli ara 

 located. The maxillary palpi are apparently six-jointed with four 

 joints visible beyond the geniculation. 



FenhdLe. — ^Length 3 mm. General color black with scattered short 

 white pilosity. Head wider than long (10:6) ; vertex with dense fine 

 sculpturing appearing areolate under high power ; ocelli approximate, 

 equidistant from each other in an equilateral triangle; clypeus fus- 

 cous; antennae short, subclavate, scape and second joints fuscous, 

 rest dark brown, almost black, comparative lengths as follows : 4, 2%, 

 6, 3, 214, 2^/2) 2^, 23^, 2, 3. Pronotum smooth and shining without
