  above, 
  the 
  striations 
  being 
  continued 
  as 
  a 
  narrower 
  band 
  

   round 
  the 
  yellow 
  mark; 
  the 
  metapleurae 
  stoutly 
  punctured, 
  

   the 
  punctures 
  round 
  and 
  deep 
  ; 
  above 
  and 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  

   they 
  run 
  into 
  striations 
  ; 
  the 
  mesosternum 
  is 
  smooth 
  

   and 
  shining 
  ; 
  its 
  furrow 
  wide 
  and 
  crenulated. 
  The 
  wings 
  

   have 
  a 
  slight 
  fuscous 
  tinge 
  ; 
  the 
  transverse 
  median 
  nervure 
  

   is 
  received 
  distinctly 
  behind 
  the 
  transverse 
  basal 
  ; 
  the 
  four 
  

   anterior 
  tarsi 
  are 
  infuscated 
  ; 
  the 
  hinder 
  coxae 
  are 
  black, 
  

   yellow 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and, 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  above, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  

   yellow 
  trilobate 
  mark 
  ; 
  the 
  outer 
  lobe 
  being 
  the 
  longer 
  ; 
  

   the 
  hinder 
  trochanters, 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  the 
  femora 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  

   tibiae, 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  tarsi 
  narrowly 
  and 
  the 
  apical 
  half 
  

   of 
  the 
  end 
  joint, 
  black. 
  The 
  abdomen 
  smooth 
  and 
  

   shining, 
  black 
  ; 
  the 
  petiole, 
  except 
  for 
  a 
  black 
  band 
  before 
  

   the 
  apex, 
  and 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  segments, 
  lemon- 
  

   yellow. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  a 
  larger 
  species 
  than 
  S.ftt-lvzpes, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  

   may 
  be 
  further 
  known 
  by 
  the 
  median 
  segment 
  having 
  

   two 
  yellow 
  marks, 
  not 
  one, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  hinder 
  troch- 
  

   anters, 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  the 
  femora 
  and 
  tibiae 
  being 
  broadly 
  

   black. 
  

  

  CERATOCRYPTUS, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  

  

  Allied 
  to 
  Mesostenus, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  known 
  from 
  it 
  by 
  

   the 
  front 
  having 
  two 
  short 
  conical 
  spines, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  

   Neotropical 
  genus 
  Polyavius. 
  From 
  my 
  genus 
  Suvalta, 
  

   it 
  may 
  be 
  known 
  by 
  the 
  much 
  longer 
  and 
  more 
  slender 
  

   petiole 
  which 
  is, 
  further, 
  not 
  so 
  widely 
  and 
  distinctly 
  

   dilated 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  also 
  by 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  being 
  

   distinctly 
  trilobate. 
  

  

  Antennas 
  annulated 
  with 
  white, 
  stouter 
  than 
  in 
  

   Mesosteuus, 
  and 
  slightly 
  thickened 
  and 
  compressed 
  

   beyond 
  the 
  middle. 
  Clypeus 
  separated 
  from 
  the 
  face. 
  

   Front 
  with 
  two 
  short, 
  distinct, 
  conical 
  teeth 
  placed 
  side
