Garland, June 30th (E. A. Schwarz). 
Pilophoms gracilis Uhler n. sp. 
“Narrower than usual, dark piceous, or nearly black, the pronotum longer than wide, 
and the corium distended and almost hyaline at the tip. Head depressed subconical, the 
vertex transversely depressed, with a central carina running back to the thick carina 
bounding the occiput behind; face convex, piceous, polished, becoming fulvous below; 
tylus narrow, pale rufo-fulvous like the cheeks; rostrum dark honey-yellow, darker at 
tip, reaching upon the middle coxae: antennae moderately long and slender, the basal 
joint short, dull fulvous, the second a little longer than the pronotum, of the same color, 
but darker on the gradually thickening tip, the apical joints more slender, but not ab¬ 
ruptly decreasing, the two united scarcely longer than the second. Pronotum highly 
polished, semi-cylindric, with the sides a little sinuated, almost of equal width through¬ 
out, dark piceous, minutely wrinkled on the disk and behind, with the humeral angles 
acute and the anterior ones rounded off. Scutellum depressed behind the middle, black, 
and minutely scabrous. Hemelytra long, dark brown, sometimes almost black, minutely 
pubescent, velvety, not banded, distinctly sinuated on the sides, the membrane a little 
dusky, with a dark brown spot near the base, the inner border of apex of corium with a 
curved callous line. Legs pale dull piceous, paler on the tibiae. Abdomen black, highly 
polished. 
Length to end of abdomen :<.5 mm. Width of pronotum 1.25 mm. One specimen, a fe¬ 
male, lacking the tarsal joints and two apical joints of the antennae, was sent to me from 
Colorado. It lives on Pinusinops in summer, June to September, in Maryland, Virginia, 
New Jersey; and is also found in Massachusetts. Maturely colored specimens do not 
have tlie reddish clypeus and cheeks observed in the specimens from Colorado.”

Globiceps angustata Uhler n. sp. 
Black, highly polished, delicate, slender. Head transverse above, convex, having a 
few remote punctures, the eyes large an 1 prominent, much elevated above the line of the 
head, the face nearly vertical, with the front a little convexly prominent, the tylus mod¬ 
erately narrow; rostrum very stout at base, with the basal joint long, stout and blackish- 
piceous, the middle testaceous and the tip piceous; antennae long, .slender, dull black, 
the basal joint longer than the head, testaceous at base, the second barely thicker at tip, 
nearly as long as the costa and cuneus united, the third a littie more slender, about half 
as long as the second, the fourth broken off. Pronotum sub-eampanulate, highly polished, 
about twice as long as the eye; the collum contracted, narrow: the callositit.es very 
large, tumid, with a groove between, which is partly occupied by a blunt carina that runs 
back to posterior lobe; posterior lobe wide, convex, transversely wrinkled, with the 
anterior slope high, the sides steep, oblique, and gently sinuated, the humeri a little 
turned up and acute. Scutellum high, almost flat above, with steeply sloping sides, acute 
at tip. Legs pale fulvous, whitish at base, the ends of tarsi piceous. Clavus dusky, 
corium whitish-yellow at base, dusky o» the remaining two-thirds; the cuneus pale 
yellowish, dusky at tip; membrane long and wide, pale fuliginous, white at the extreme 
base, with the looped vein dark brown. Abdomen black, highly polished. 
Length to end of abdomen 2.75 mm. To tip of membrane 4 turn. Width of pronotum 
.87 mm. Described from a single male specimen from Colorado. It is closely related to, if 
not the same species as one which I found in the Province of Qubec. The female is 
earnestly desired for study, to complete the description of this species. This insect might 
readily be mistaken for one of the small Chalcididae which have black bodies and yellow 
legs.”
