ART. 13 DESCRIPTIONS OP ICHNEUMOlSr-PLIES GUSH MAN 15 



A male from Harney Peak, South Dakota (July 22, 1924), which, 

 because of its darker legs, I doubtfully refer to this species, has the 

 face, lower cheeks, clypeus, mandibles, maxillary palpi, tegulae, 

 humeral, and subalar spots and spots at origins of notauli white. 

 The front and middle tarsi have only the base of the first joint and 

 the third and fourth joints white, while on the hind tarsus only the 

 fourth joint is obscurely pale at base. The white on the tibiae is 

 also less extensive than on the type. If this is really the male of 

 dokotdb^ the color antigeny is very unusual.

Genus PROTARCHOIDES Cushman 



In the following new species the hind tarsi are only slightly com- 

 pressed and the ocelli are very large, but it agrees in all the other 

 characters by which the present genus is said to diifer from Protair- 

 chus Foerster. 



The following key will separate the three North American species : 



1. Coxae testaceous ; hind tibia and tarsus black, the tarsus strongly com- 



pressed , 2 



Coxae black ; legs otherwise pale testaceous ; hind tarsus weakly compressed 



pallipes, new species. 



2. Mandibles and palpi yellow mandibularis Cushman. 



Mandibles black; palpi reddish longipes Cushman. 



PROTARCHOIDES PALLIPES. new species 



Female. — Length 15 mm.; antennae 16 mm. 



Face fully as broad as f rons ; ocelli very large, diameter of lateral 

 ocellus much longer than ocell-ocular line; propodeal carinae very 

 high and irregular, lateral abscissa of apical carina less strong but 

 distinct; hind tibia and tarsus not conspicuously compressed; first 

 tergite fully twice as long as broad at apex, the median carinae and 

 the space between them strongly elevated above the general surface 

 between the spiracles. 



Deep black, this color including the mandibles, clypeus, palpi, 

 tegulae, coxae, and trochanters; pubescence black (in the other two 

 species it is pale) ; antennae black at base and in apical half, the 

 space between pale testaceous; wings deeply yellow stained, stigma 

 reddish; legs beyond trochanters pale testaceous, base of tibiae and 

 tarsi slightly paler.
