PHRUDUS EXAREALATUS, new species 



Distinct from dahota in the lack of the areolet and stouter body 

 and legs. 



Female. — Length, 2 mm. 



Stout, thorax hardly compressed, abdomen barely three times as 

 long as broad. Head much broader and deeper than long; temples 

 strongly rounded; vertex moderately elevated, not narrower than 

 frons, about twice as broad as long, more coarsely sculptured than 

 face, apex rounded; malar space nearly as long as basal width of 

 mandible, and nearly half as long as width of cheek ; eyes less bulging 

 and more elongate than in dakota; antennae fully half as long as 

 body, subapical joints thicker than long, apical joint less than twice 

 as long as thick. Thorax distinctly more than half as deep as long ; 

 mesoscutum as broad as long, polished; scutellum and mesopleurum 

 polished, without sculpture; metapleurum and propodeum indis- 

 tinctly sculptured; petiolar area occupying more than half median 

 length, areola slightly longer than broad with costulae in middle; 

 legs stout, hind femur hardly three times as long as deep. Abdomen 

 about three times as long as broad; first tergite slender, decurved, 

 longitudinally striate above; second much broader at apex than long. 



Black; legs testaceous; antennae fuscous, scape, pedicel, and base 

 of flagellum testaceous; wings hyaline, venation brown. 



Type locality. — Cranberry Lake, New York. 



Type.—Qdit. No. 40446, U.S.N.M. 



One female taken by E. A. Hartley on August 7, 1924. 



PODOGASTER CACTORUM, new species 



In Szepligeti's key to the species of Podoga^ter'^'^ this species will 

 run to couplet 2, where it agrees with the first alternate in having 

 the discoidal and brachial cells of equal length and with the second 

 in its entirely hyaline wings. 



In Morley's key ^^ it runs to couplet 2 (5), agreeing with 2 in the 

 first and third items and with 5 in the second. 



Female. — Length 12 mm. ; antennae 7 mm. ; ovipositor 2 mm. 



Head from above weakly transverse, the temples extending straight 

 back for most of their length, then curving sharply mesad to join 

 the occiput; occiput deeply concave, the bounding carina developed 

 only at top, where it is almost contiguous with the ocelli; diameter 

 of lateral ocellus equal to ocell-ocular line; eyes convergent below, 

 almost contiguous to clypeal foveae and to mandibles, at their lower 

 extremity less than half as far apart as at vertex, concavely arcuate 

 within; face densely punctate, frons sparsely so; clypeus acutely
