102 HYMENOPTERA OF AMERICA. [PART 1. 



Var. (probable). Posterior margin of the pro thorax also bor- 

 dered with yellow ? 



I have never seen the males. 



Ress. a. diff. — This species recalls the European E. pomi/or- 

 mis much more than the E.fralernus, by its smaller size, by the 

 body being a little velvety, and by its transparent wings, also by 

 its petiole being shorter and more enlarged than in the E. fra- 

 terrius, and at times also divided by a groove. One might a^k 

 whether E. globulosus may not be a type derived from the 

 European E. pomi/or mis, which may have transmigrated to 

 America. 



It differs from the E. americanus by having different mark- 

 ings and by its black antennas ; from E. Iturbide by its abdomen, 

 which has not the rimmed border on the second segment, and by 

 its differently marked clypeus. for it has all the superior part, 

 especially laterally, marked with yellow, while in the E. Iturbide, 

 the yellow upper spot is in the middle, not marginal ; the clypeus 

 is also more shining, less strongly punctured, etc.
