nent, a dark brown spot each side of vertex, close to the orbit ; a shining, fer- 

 ruginous, elongate-triangular occipital spot, prolonged as a fine, brown line to 

 summit of tuberosity. 



Thorax yellow. Pronotal scutum brown on the sides. Praescutal stripes 

 highly polished, ferruginous, the middle stripe narrowed posteriorly, the lateral 

 stripes slightly curved outward anteriorly. Scutum with lateral, curved, 

 ferruginous stripes, an elongate, brown spot on the anterior end of the median 

 space. Scutellum ferruginous, shining. Postnotum ferruginous along middle 

 portion and posterior declivity, yellow on the sides. Outer portion of trans- 

 verse suture and a triangular spot before the alar insertion, blackish. Pleura 

 concolorous, lower part of mesopleura, posterior margin of metapleura and a 

 few irregular, smaller spots, ferruginous; a conspicuous, elongate, opaque 

 spot in the pleuro-dorsal membrane immediately behind the middle, a less 

 conspicuous, brown spot below it. Halteres pale fuscous, club dark brown, 

 apical edge paler. Legs slender, sordid yellow, pubescence blackish, tibiae 

 blackish at the apex, about as long as the metatarsi, outer tarsal joints fuscous. 

 Wings nearly hyaline with a grayish tint, surface sparsely pilose, veins C, Sc, 

 Rand all veins beyond the cord, with the exception of those limiting cell 1st M 2 , 

 rather closely setulose; costal cells concolorous, stigma pale brown; cell M 1 

 sessile. Venation as in figure. 



Abdomen orange-yellow, shining, darker posteriorly, segments on the sides 

 and posteriorly, bordered with black ; the eighth sternite narrowly but deeply 

 emarginate. Hypopygium ferruginous-brown; ninth tergite with deep, V- 

 shaped emargination; outer appendages pale yellow, broadly lanceolate, ob- 

 tusely pointed; the inner appendages end in a style -like process, directed 

 dorsad. 



Holotype: d* ; Black Mountains, North Carolina. 



Paratype: cf; topotypic. September 4, 1911. (Wm. Beu- 

 tenmueller.) 



Might readily be taken for P. ferrugmea, but the fuscous 

 spots on vertex, the abdominal segments bordered with black 

 on the sides and posteriorly and the formation of the inner ap- 

 pendages, easily distinguish it from the last named species. In 

 general appearance, P. beutenmuelleri resembles cingulata, but 

 this species has the flagellar segments bicolored, the costal cells 

 yellow-tinted, besides other differences. Dedicated to Mr. 

 Wm. Beutenmueller. 



Pachyrhina cingulata spec. n. (PL V, fig. 17; PI. VII, fig. 30.) 



Antennae of male long, flagellar joints bicolored, fuscous at base. Thoracic 

 dorsum highly polished, testaceous, stripes ill-defined. Lateral margin of 

 abdominal tergum, and segments posteriorly, bordered black. 

 Male. Length, 13 mm.; wing, 11 mm. 



Head dark ferruginous. Mouthparts and palpi dark brown, terminal joint 

 of the latter a trifle longer than the three preceding joints combined. Frontal 

 prolongation polished, beset with blackish hairs, more dense upon the nasus.
