40 Cameron, Hymenoptera, from Greymouth. 



clearly separated, the third longer than the fourth. Head 

 shining ; the face closely, the front and vertex sparsely, 

 covered with short, black hair. Pro- and meso-thorax 

 shining, closely punctured ; the median segment coarsely 

 rugosely punctured, sparsely covered with longish black 

 hairs ; the metapleurae rugosely punctured at the sides, 

 the middle with wide, deep, widely separated punctures. 

 The hinder edge of the mesopleurae crenulated ; its base 

 distinctly punctured, the punctures clearly separated, but 

 not by a great distance from each other ; the upper part 

 with the punctures closer, smaller and shallower ; on the 

 lower side, but not touching the base, is a wide, deep, 

 curved furrow, indistinctly crenulated in the middle. The 

 upper part of the propleurse stoutly striated ; the upper 

 two striae stout ; on the lower side immediately over the 

 coxae are two much stouter keels. Median segment 

 coarsely rugosely reticulated. Legs entirely fulvous- 

 yellow ; the femora sparsely, the tibiae and tarsi thickly, 

 covered with white hair. Wings hyaline ; the stigma 

 large, blackish ; the costa and nervures paler ; the first 

 abscissa of the radius very short, not one-half the 

 length of the space between the recurrent and the first 

 transverse cubital nervure. The petiole above closely, its 

 apex more sparsely and not so strongly, punctured ; the 

 rest of the abdomen very smooth and shining ; the apices 

 of the segments pallid-yellow. 



The only specimen is not in good condition, but I 

 believe I have described correctly its salient specific points. 

 It appears to be an Alysia as defined by Foerster in his 

 generic synopsis of the family. (Verh. Ver. Rheinl. ^IX.
