Psyche 
[March 
Clypeus broad, slightly concave on margin below; a line 
above base of the antennae about one-half way up; ocelli 
large, posteriors very much nearer each other than to eyes ; 
third joint of antennae scarcely longer than the fourth, se- 
cond and third about one-half of vertex-width; pronotum 
arcuate behind; propodeum short, high, rounded, steeply 
sloping behind, on basal part a median line very faint, no 
transverse wrinkles. Abdomen rather long, flattened above, 
last segment very densely hairy, basal parts of ventral 
segments without hair, surface punctulate; pleura very 
hairy, above the mid coxae the mesopleura projects almost 
cone-like; legs rather short, front tibia with short spines 
below almost to base, mid and hind tibiae without spines be- 
neath, only long hairs, above armed as mentioned in generic 
description, the teeth about ten in number on hind tibia; 
long spur of hind tibia slightly incurved at tip, not one-third 
of the basitarsus. Wings similar to most Cryptocheilus ; in 
hind wing the anal is nearly interstitial with the cubital 
fork; in fore wing the basal is much before the transverse; 
the marginal cell long, but with a pointed tip ; second sub- 
marginal about one-half longer than high, third much lon- 
ger below, scarcely longer above than second; first recur- 
rent ends near middle of the second submarginal cell, se- 
cond recurrent ends much before the middle of the third 
submarginal, this vein is only a trifle bowed outward. 
Length 18 to 20 mm., fore wing 15 mm.

Priocnemis alienatus borealis var. nov. 
Structurally similar to P. alienatus; differs in having the 
hind, as well as other, legs black, and in having but the first 
two segments of abdomen reddish. It represents a north- 
ern form with less red than usual, in contrast to Texas and 
Mexico specimens (P. rupex Cress.) which have the abdo- 
men entirely red. 
Specimens from Mt. Whiteface, N. Y., 22-24 August; 
Stony Brook Reservation, Mass., 21 June; and Alton, N. H., 
11 August (Banks). Type M.C.Z. 17038.
