June, 1898.] DYAR : NEW SPECIES AND LaRWE Of SAWFLIES. 
129 
Claws simple ; anal vein in front wings curving upwards at tip ; transverse 
cubitus in hind wings very short, the anal cell longly petiolated. 9 $ . 
Blennocampa Hartig. 
11. Third transverse cubitus curved inwardly, not extending in the same direction 
with the transverse radius, strongly divergent; third submarginal cell larger 
than the first and second united ; pedicel as long as the scape, about thrice as 
thick. $ . Calozarca Ashm. g. n. 
(Type fascipennis Nort.) 
Third transverse cubitus straight or nearly so, and running in the same direction 
with the transverse radius ; third submarginal cell hardly longer than the sec¬ 
ond, much smaller than the first and second united; pedicel shorter than the 
scape. $ . .Ery thraspides Ashm. 
12. Third transverse cubitus in front wings not running in the same direction with the 
transverse radius ; marginal cell in hind wings with an appendage ; third joint 
of antennas much shorter than joints 4-5 united ; claws with a small tooth 
witbin .Scolioneura Konozv. 
Third transverse cubitus in front wings almost interstitial with the transverse ra¬ 
dius, and running in the same direction ; marginal cell in hind wings without 
an appendage, sometimes open at apex ; claws with a strong triangular tooth at 
base .Entodecta Konow. 
13. Hind tarsi usually longer than their tibiae ; clypeus very small, transverse-linear. 
antennae densely pilose, the third joint longer than the fourth. 9 $ . 
Zarca Cameron. 
Hind tarsi not longer than their tibiae ; clypeus not small, anteriorly subemargi- 
nate or truncate. 
Antennae pubescent, the third joint distinctly longer than either the fourth 
or the fifth. 
Third submarginal cell longer than the first and second united ; antenna; 
long, tapering toward tips, the third joint about as long as joints 6-9 
united 9. . Calozarca Ashm. 
Third submarginal cell not longer than the first and second united ; 
antennae with the third joint usually not longer than joints 9-10 
Ufi ited . :-Monophadnus Hartig. 
Antennae clothed w ith long appressed hairs, the third and fourth joints equal, 
the fifth longer, all somewhat thickened toward tips. .Senoclia Cameron.' 
Periclista diluta Cresson. 
These larvae are briefly described from Riley’s notes in Packard’s 
Forest Insects (5th Rept. U. S. Ent. Comm., p. 206), but without giv¬ 
ing the most essential characters. The bred flies in collection U. S. 
Nat. Mus., have the lanceolate cell of hind wings unusually long, though 
still shortly petiolate at tip. 
Periclista purpuridorsum, sp. nov. 
$. Black, segments 2 to 4 of tergum dull luteous ; angles of prothorax (except a 
•black dot) aid tegulae white ; tip of clypeus and labrum pale. Legs black at base, 
ends of femora and tibiae whitish and brown, tarsi duskv, nervures brown black ; 
second recurrent received at base of third submarginal cell, almost interstitial.
