Two females from Fedor, Lee Comity, Texas, sent me by 
Rev. G. Birkmaiiii. 
This species is rather closely related to H. dcntipcs BruUe, but 
is evidently distinct. Although variable in color, the latter is 
always in considerable part black, and also differs in the sculpture 
of the prothorax and metanotum. The mesonotum of the present 
species is also more roughly sculptured, and the recurrent nervure 
in the wing inserted farther from the transverse cubitus. 
Calyptus collaris sp. nov. 
Female. Length 2-5 iniii. Ovipositor 2.8 mm. Black, the pro- 
iiotum, mesonotum, eoxje and legs bright honey yellow. Wing's hyaline.

evenly convex, microscopically rugiilose and whitish pubescent. Front, 
vertex, and occipnt smooth, polished, and impnnctnred. Cheeks faintly 
shagTeened. Mandibles and clypens wholly ferriiginons. Eyes rather 
small, elong'ate oval, one-half as long- as the head height. Antenna? 
26-jointed, black, the scape and pedicel more or less rnfons. Second 
flagellar joint one-third longer than the first, five times as long as 
thick, following rapidly growing shorter, becoming qnadrate near the

fovea anteriorly, which is di\ided by a delicate median carina. Meta-

by side anteriorly ; a less distinct ])entagonal areola behind these 
which gives off two delicate longitudinal carinie. Abdomen as long 
as the thorax, with three visible dorsal segments ; first segment as
