 de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion).—Soum Ameeica \ Brazil 2 . 



Two specimens, agreeing perfectly with others from Brazil (Chapada). There can 

 be no doubt of the synonymy of Bigotfs species.

Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).— South America 1 , Brazil 2 . 



A single female specimen from Bugaba seems to be of the same species as those 

 mentioned by me from Brazil (op. cit.). It agrees quite with the male specimen, 

 except that the scutellum is dark brown across its disc. The front has a median black 

 stripe ; the legs are wholly yellow, the abdomen red, &c. 



3. Salpingogaster limbipennis, s P . n., $ . 



Face and frontal triangle sulphur-yellow on the sides ; a deep blue-black stripe, beginning narrowly at tbe oral 

 margin, extends broadly up and around the base of the antenna?, so as to nearly fill the frontal triangle. 

 (Antennse wanting.) Cheeks in front black ; behind, as also the mentum, light yellow, and white-pollinose. 

 Thorax nearly opaque black ; a pair of whitish-dusted stripes in the middle of the mesonotum, not 

 extendiug to the hind margin ; the humeri, a narrow vertical stripe on the pleuras, extending a Bkort 

 distance on the sides of the mesonotum, a spot on the postalar caUosities, and a slender vertieal stripe on 

 the sides of the metanotum, sulphur-yellow. Scutellum black, with the base and margin narrowly yellow. 

 Abdomen black, the second segment and the base of the third somewhat reddish, the hind margins of the 

 following segments very narrowly yellowish ; first segment, except the broad hind margin, light yellow. 

 Legs blackish- and brownish-red, the tip and base of the tibise, and the tarsi, the two anterior pairs more 

 distinctly, blaek j hind femora a little thickened, and with numerous short bristly points below. Wings 

 pure hyaline ; the anterior border to the tip dark brown, this colour filling the base of the second basal cell 

 and extending across the cross-veins as a narrow projection to the base of the last posterior cell. 



Length 11 millim. 



Hob. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (H. H. Smith). 

 Two specimens.
