 PREFACE, 
 
 1 
 
 The study of the Hynien(){)tera of our country has not kept pace 
 with some of the other orders from the want of an introductory work 
 in our own language. Westwood's invahiable " Introduction to the 
 Modern Classification of Insects," while ])artly supplying the want, 
 is insufficient, and at the present expensive and difficult to obtain. 
 The want is especially felt by those who have not access to large 
 scientific libraries, and many are discouraged i'nmi attempting the 
 study by the difficulties and expense of acquiring the necessary litera- 
 ture, with the added difficulties of the foreign languages. 
 
 The writer has been frequently appealed to and requested to indi- 
 cate such books as will enable a beginner to separate even the fami- 
 lies and geiMjra. The impossibility of obtaining any works in the 
 English language, and the almost equally hopeless chance of deter- 
 mining the species, have doubtless deterred many from aiding in the 
 development of the study of {irobably the most interesting order of 
 insects. 
 
 Other extensive orders, as the Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, have 
 nunjerous votaries from the aids furnished by elementary works on 
 cla.ssification, and until similar assistance is given, very little progress 
 can be expected in the study of the Hymenoptera, notwithstanding 
 the fact that there is no order of insects more extensive and varied 
 in structure, and certainly none more interesting in the habits of its 
 members. Students are so few, in fact, that the greater part of the 
 material collected together in the larger families has been very im- 
 perfectly studied, and our knowledge of the characters is very in- 
 complete, so that years of careful study will be necessary before a 
 classification can be produced that will be approximately complete. 
 
 As a step in that direction, however, it has been suggested that the 
 publication of a series of syno]»tic tables giving the leading charac- 
 ters, as for as known, of the families and genera, would })rove a great 
 aid to the student and j)ossibly induce many to collect and study 
 these interesting creatures. 
 
IV PREFACE. 
 
 With the ho|)e that .such may prove to be the case, the following 
 tables have l)een compiled from the writings of Wesmael, Holmgren, 
 Westwood, Thomson, Taschenberg, Norton, Marshall, Andre, Mayr, 
 Saunders, Howard, Cau)eron, Ashmead and others. Little or nothing 
 original in the arrangement is claimed by the compiler. The char- 
 acter' given in many cases, especially in the Tchneumonidse, are very 
 unsatisfactory, otlen difficult to describe intelligibly, and yet they 
 are about the best that can be offered with our present incomplete 
 knowledge. Doubtless, after more careful study has been made, new 
 and more reliable characters will be discovered, that will make the 
 divisions more easy, simple and correct. 
 
 As a rule, only such genera as have been found to occur within 
 our faunal limits are characterized in the synoptic tables given herein, 
 but in some families, e. g. Ichneumon idie, Braconidae, Chalcididie 
 and Proctotrupidoe (our material of which has been so little studied), 
 some of the European genera, not yet recognizetl with us, but prob- 
 sd)ly will be, are added, and are indicated by an asterisk preceding 
 the name. 
 
 As an aid to the student, the synopsis is followed by an approxi- 
 mately com{)lete catalogue of the species that have been described sis 
 inhabiting our fauna, closing with a list of works and papers having 
 reference to our Hymenoptera. 
 
 In conclusion, the compiler desires to express his thanks to the 
 Rev. T. A. Marshall and Messrs. L. O. Howard, W. H. Ashmead 
 and George B. Cresson, who have most kindly aided in the prepara- 
 ti<m of this paper ; nnd especially does he feel grateful for the kind- 
 ness and friendship of Dr. George H. Horn, who has most cheerfully 
 and willingly given largely of his valuable time and much needed 
 information and advice.

 Before proceeding with the consideration of the different divisions 
 into which the order is separable, it will be well to explain briefly 
 the position of the various pares referred to in the tables character- 
 izing the families and genera. To tiuwe who are familiar with the 
 technical terms used in the description of churacters no explanation 
 is necessary, but to the beginner the following diagrams and de- 
 scriptions will be found useful ; in the preparation of these the com- 
 piler has consulted and freely used Westwood's " Introduction to the 
 Modern Classification of Insects," so replete with interesting and 
 valuable information.

2 GENKRA OF HYMEXOPTKRA. 
 
 The Head (fig. 1, front view) is generally transverse and nar- 
 rower, rarely wider, than the thorax, and varies greatly in form, 
 being sometimes globose, quadrate or elongate, with all the gradations 
 from one to the other ; it is frequently more or less extended behind 
 the eyes ; the vertex or crown is the highest part, on which the sim- 
 "^ pie eyes or ocelli (e) are placed, back of it is the occiput ; anterior to 
 
 the ocelli is the front or face upon which the antenna> are inserted, 
 while back of the eyes are the cheeks which are sometimes niv/re or 
 less inflated, and very rarely dentate. The eyes (a) are generally 
 large and lateral, naked, rarely pilose, occasionally occupying in the 
 males of certain groups, tiie greatest portion of the head ; they vary 
 much in form and size, being sometimes reniform, ovate or circular, 
 sometimes small or even minute and very rarely wanting ; they are 
 accompanied by three small simple ocelli (e) placed either in a tri- 
 angle or 1 a straight or curved line upcm the vertex, but in the 
 apterous females of certain genera of Heterogyna and Mutillidae 
 
 these ocelli are entirely wanting, while in 
 some of the Larridae and Sapygidte, the j)03- 
 terior pair is distorted and subobsolete ; oc- 
 casionally, as in Ophion, they are unusually 
 large and prominent. The dypeuH (b) is 
 placed on the front, beneath the insertion of 
 the antenna; (f) and is variously formed, 
 usually shield-like, but often narrow and 
 transverse, and sometimes produced into va- 
 p- J rious curious shapes, the apical margin being 
 
 a, eyes ; b, ciypeus ; c, lab- often denticulate; in the Dorylida; it is very 
 rum;d, mandibles; e, ocelli; niiuute or obsolete. The mandible'* or jaws 
 
 f, insertion of antennte. , ,. . .11 ^i ^i 1 1 
 
 (d) are mserted beneath tlie eyes and on each 
 side of the mouth opening, rarely contiguous at their base ; they 
 vary much in form and size, and are simple or more or less dentate 
 on their inner margin and apex, sometimes they are long and sickle- 
 shaped. The Inbrum, or roof of the mouth (c), is variously shaped, 
 transverse, ovate, cuneiform, or rostriform, and is situate in front of 
 the clyi)eus and between the mand'bles, and is often concealed by 
 them. The inner parts of the mouth, which reach the fullest de- 
 velopment in the Bees, are, in short, composed of a pair of long 
 membranous or coriaceous maxillae, each provided with a palpus 
 varying in the number of joints from 1-6, and a lower lip or tongue, 
 having a basal mentuni from which proceeds the labium and its 
 
GENERAL CHARACTERS. 3 
 
 palpi with from 1-4 joints, ai;d occasionally with slender filaments 
 or paraglossae, which vary in length according to the size of the 
 maxillae. 
 
 The Antenn.t- (fig. 2) vaiy greatly in structure in the various 
 groups, those of the males are generally longer and more developed 
 than in the females, and often '^uriously formed ; tiiey are inserted 
 (fig. 1, f ) usually on the middle of the face, sometimes nmch lower 
 down close to the clypeus, and rarely far apart. In most of the 
 
 groups having one-jointed trochanters, these 
 organs are usually filiform and simple, and 
 D-, almost uniforndy composed of 16 joints in 
 
 the males and 12 in the females ; while in 
 the ditrocha groups they vary greatly in 
 the number of joints, from 3 to 60, and 
 '^' "■ also in form, being setaceous, filiform, mo- 
 
 ' ^'^^^^ ' > se nilifi)rm, clavate, fusiform, furcate, pectinate 
 
 and flabellate, rarely ciliate with long hairs ; they are sometimes 
 elbowed, the scape (a) simietimes very long, usually short, ovate or 
 oblong-ovate, rarely strongly dilated and shield-like, the flagellnm ( b) 
 being generally much longer than the scape, from which it is usually 
 separated by a ring-joint or pedicel, which in the Chalcidid* and 
 Proctotrupidte is often composed of two or three minute joints. 
 
 The Thorax (fig. 3, upper portion) generally forms a compact, 
 oval, agglutinate ma.«s, sometimes elongate and subcompressed, higher 
 than wide, as a rule broader than high ; in some of the apterous 
 fornjs of Mutillidic the segments are soldered together, and in most 
 of the female and worker ants it is elongated and often more or less 
 strangulated and nodose, and sometimes spinose. It is composed of 
 many pieces, but for the purposes of this synopsis the divisions shown 
 in the cut will suffice. The prothorax (a), to which the anterior legs 
 are attached, is generally of small size and the portion visible from 
 above is usually termed the collar ; the posterior margin is often 
 arched, occjisionally angular and sometimes extending back to the 
 tegidce (f ) as represented in the figure, thus forming the front of the 
 upper portion of the thorax ; it is sometimes elongated into a neck 
 as in some of the Uroceritla;, Stephanida;, etc., while in certain genera 
 of the Pompilida; it is almost quadrate and as large or larger than 
 the raesothorax. The mesothorax (b) is usually larger and more 
 extensively developed than either the prothorax or metathorax, and 
 is either flattened or more or less convex, sometimes trilobed in fnmt.

 grooves. 
 
 the impressed lines between the lobes, termed parapsidnl grooves or 
 furrows (g), are frequently used in characterizi .^ certain genera 
 
 among the smaller Parasitica. The 
 scutellum (c) is generally flat, or aim- 
 pi) convex, sometimes square, or scu- 
 tatiform, or bituberculate, und occa- 
 sionally armed with spines or teeth ; 
 in the Ichneumonidie it is sometimes 
 pyramidal and often of difi'erent color 
 from the rest of the thorax. The }wst- 
 sciitellum (d) is almost always narrow 
 and inconspicuous, rarely armed with 
 a spine as in Oxyhelus. The metatho- 
 rax (e) is variously formed, generally 
 short and rounded posteriorly, some- 
 times elongate and truncate behind, 
 and occasionally bituberculate or bi- 
 spinose ; on each side towards the base 
 is placed a small spiracle, which is 
 either round, oval or linear; the Tenthredinidaj often exhibit two 
 very small white s]K)ts (cenchri) at the sides of the extreme basal 
 portion ; in the Ichneumonida? the metathorax is often more or less 
 distinctly areolated. The pleura or breast is the lateral portiim of 
 the thorax beneath the wings, and is very seldom referred to in char- 
 acterizing genera. 
 
 The Wings (fig. 4, anterior ; fig. 5, posterior) are four in number, 
 naked, membranous and horizontal ; the anterior pair generally much 
 larger than the posterior, the extreme base of the former being pro- 
 tected by a scaly ])late, called the tegula (fig. 3, f); they are fur- 
 nished with veins or nervures, for the most part arranged longitudi- 
 nally and transversely (but never forming a close net-work as in the 
 Neuroptera), the spaces enclosed between the nervures are of various 
 sizes and shapes and are termed celh and are fully illustrated and 
 explained in the diagrams given below. In some families, e.g. Chal- 
 cididae and Proctotrupidfe, the number of these veins or nervures is, 
 however, liable to considerable reduction, the wings being almost, or 
 even entirely destitute of them and are often more or less pubescent. 
 In a genus of the last-named family the anterior wings are very long, 
 consisting of a linear branch, dilated and spatulate at tip and ciliate 
 with long hail's ; in another genus they are notched at the extremity. 
 
GENERAL CHAKACTERS. 5 
 
 During flight, the anterior and posterior wings are connected by 
 means of a series of minute hooks, or spinulje (fig. 5, m), along the 
 anterior margin of the posterior i)air, which catch the hinder margin 
 of the anterior pair and thus produce one continuous surface on each 
 side. Occasionally the wings are more or less abbreviated, or entirely 
 wanting r apterous forms are found in the families Ichneumonidaj, 
 Braconidse, Cynipidae, Chalcidida?, Proctotrupidae, Formicidse, and 
 MutillidjB.

 GENERA OF HYMENOPTERA. 
 
 ^ •• 
 
 The Le(4S (fig. 6) are generally long and slender, often short and 
 robust, pubescent, bristled or spined, sometimes more or less deformed. 
 The first joint, or that by which they are attached to the body, is 
 called the coxa (^a) and is variously shaped and rarely spined; at the 
 extremity of the coxa and between it and the femur is a small piece, 
 often two-jointed, called the irochmter (b), this is usually short and 
 small, although in the ditrocha groups it varies considerably in form 
 and length. The first long piece of the legs is called the thigh or 
 femur (c), and following it is the tibia (d); at the extremity of 
 the latter are (me or two movable spines called tibial spurs (e), which 
 are, however, sometimes absent. Following the tibia is a series of 
 joint'i, generally five in number, constituting the foot or tarsus (f ), 
 the last joint usually bears two daws (g), either 
 simple, toothed or cleft, and often furnished at 
 their base within with a membranous or cushion- 
 like appendage called puhillus, which is occa- 
 sionally much enlarged and sometimes wanting. 
 These parts of the legs vary greatly in the dif- 
 ferent families, being fitted either for walking, 
 digging or collecting pollen ; in the latter form 
 they are furnished with more or less dense hairs, 
 the tibia and base of tai-sus being flattened and 
 dilated ; those formed for digging are robust and 
 bristly or spinose. The femur is often r<)bust, 
 and sometimes spined beneath, and in some Chalcids the posterior 
 pair is enormously developed and denticulate beneath ; the tibia and 
 tarsus also vary much in structure ; in some genera of Proctotru- 
 pidae, the anterior tarsus is terminated by curious large reflexed 
 claws which open and shut somewhat like those of a lobster, while 
 in some of the males of the leaf-cutting bee, Megachile, it is broadly 
 dilated and fringed w'th long hairs; these and other modifications 
 of form are consequent upon diversity of economy. 
 
 The Abdomen (figs. 7 and 8) is exceedingly variable in the num- 
 ber of its segments, especially in the ditrocha groups, while in the 
 Ants, Wasps and Bees, it is com])osed of seven segments in the males 
 and six in the females. In form it varies greatly, being ovate, glo- 
 bose, clavate, cylindrical, fusiform, sickle-shaped, knife-shaped, etc., 
 and in some species it is sessile (fig. 7), i.e. connected with the thorax 
 by quite or nearly its entire breadth, and in others petiolate (fig. 8),

GENERAL CHARACTERS. 7 
 
 i.e. connected with the thorax hy a more or less slender [)etiole or 
 footstalk. The terms "subsessile" and " subpetiolate" are modifica- 
 tions of the sessile and petiolate forms and 
 are characters not only difficult to descr'lie 
 by word or figure, but unsatisfactory and 
 l)erj)lexing. In the Heterogyna the petiole 
 is either scale-like or nod(/se, otlen binodosc, 
 and in the Tubulifera the nundier of visible 
 abdominal segments is usually reduced to 
 three, the remainder being modified into a 
 slender retractile tube, which is generally 
 concealed. The place of insertion of the 
 abdomen is at the aj>ex of the metathorax, 
 except in the anomalous family Evaniidie, where it is inserted on the 
 disk or very near the bsise of that segment. In the Ichneumonidae 
 the situation of the spiracles on each side of the first segment is fre- 
 •juently used as a character for separating some of the subfamilies. 
 In the females of Hymenoptera the abdomen is furnished with an 
 instrument applied in the different groups as a saw, borer or sting, 
 })rotected by sheaths and called the ovipositor, which is often more 
 or less exserted, sometimes to a great length in certain genera of 
 Ichneuraonidse.

 Professor Westwood, in his " Introduction," etc., vol. ii, following 
 oliiefly the views of Latreille, divides the Order into two Sections, 
 viz. : Terebhantia and Aci'leata, the former having the abdomen 
 of the females furnished with an instrument employed as a saw or 
 borer for depositing the eggs ; and the latter having the abdomen of 
 the females (and workers) armed with a sting connected with a poison 
 reservoir, the antennae of the males 18-jointed, and of the females 
 rj-jointed. 
 
 The Tkuebraxtia is then divided into two subsections, the first, 
 termed the Phytiphaga, having the abdomen sessile, hiding the base 
 of the posterior legs, the larvae with a well developed mandibulated 
 mouth, feeding upon vegetable matter, and containing the families 
 Ttidhredinifhe and Uroceridoe. The second subsection, the Ento- 
 inophaga (Pupivora Latr.), having the abdomen attached to the 
 thorax by a portion only of its transverse diameter, the larvae with 
 slij.ditly developed mandibulated trophi, and for the most part feeding

 parasitically upon other living insects ; this subsection is subdivided 
 into two divisions, the first of which, the Spiculifem, having the ab- 
 domen furnished with a plurivalve oviduct and containing the fami- 
 lies (Jtjnipiihv, Evaniidce, Ichneiimonidxe, BmconMie, Chalcididw and 
 •P)'odoirup'uhe. The second division, termed the Tubulifera, having 
 the extremity of the abdomen tubular and retvnctile, and furnished 
 with a minute sting, the larvae feeding uj)on the larvae of other hy- 
 menopvera, or upon dead or paralized insects deposited by the parents 
 of such larvae for the support of the latter, and containing the single 
 family ChrysididcE. 
 
 The second Section — Aculeata — is divided into two subsections, 
 viz.: Praedones (including the Heterogyna, Fossores and Diplop- 
 teryga) having the basal joint of the posterior tarsi cylindrical, not 
 dilated, nor formed for collecting pollen, the larvae feeding upon 
 other insects stored up, or upon animal or vegetable fluids provided 
 by workers, and containing the families Crabromdce, Larrid(je, Bem- 
 becidw, Sphecidce, Seotiidce, MntHlkkc, Formicidie and VespidcB. The 
 second subsection, the Mellifera ( Anthophila Latr.), having the basal 
 joint of the posterior tarsi dilated and pollinigerous, the larvae feed- 
 iiig upon honey or pollen paste deposited by the parent, or collected 
 by workers, and containing the families Andrenidce and Apidoe. 
 
 The arrangement followed in this Synopsis is similar to that pro- 
 posed by Dr. Hartig (in Wiegmann's Archiv. 1837, No. 2), and 
 agrees somewhat with the above, except that the two principal divi- 
 sions are founded upon the structure of the trochanters. 
 
 The following table will serve to distinguish the diflerent series :

 The PnYLLorilACA contaiiis tlie fainily Tt'ii(limlini(l<r, which 
 comprises the insects ordiiiurily termed Saw-Hies, from the construc- 
 tion of the ovipositor, which consists of two saws which are alter- 
 nately protruded and employed in prei)aring a place for the reception 
 of the ejrgs as well as in conducting them to their destination. 
 
 The Xyl()FHA(ja contains the family UrocerkUr, distinguished 
 from the j)rec ding by the one-spurred anterior tibia;, and by the 
 l)()rer-like ovipositcjr constructed for boring into timber in which the 
 eggs are de}M)8ited. 
 
 The Pakasitk'A comprises the families Ci/niplda', Evnnndoe, Ich- 
 iii'iimut>i<i(e, Bnicoiildie, Chaleldidw and Proctotrupid(e, and named 
 on account of the habits of the majority of the siKJcies, the larvae of 
 wliich are parasitic upon or within the bodies of other insects. 
 
 The TuniLiFKUA contains the family Cliri/.'<ldl<l<i\ distinguished 
 l)y having the abdomen composed of only three, four or five visible 
 segments, the renuiinder being transformed into a tubular, retractile, 
 telescopic-formed apparatus which is furnished at the extremity with 
 a minute sting or ovi{)ositor. 
 
 The Heterocjyna comprises the Formiddie and the closely allied 
 families Poneridiv, Doryllda' and MiirmmdiP, composing the well 
 known and singularly interesting tribe of Ants.

 I'otiipilidte, Sphecidcey Larridce, NiiS)<onid(r, Beinbeeidie, Phifanthid(e, 
 I'nnphredonidve and Cmbronldie, comj)rising the sand and wood 
 
 wasps. 
 
 The Diplopteryga contains the families Masaridff, Emnenidoe 
 and Vespid(e, the first two comprising the solitary wasps, composed 
 of males and females only, and the last the social wasps consisting of 
 males, females and workers. 
 
 The Anthophila contain'^ the AndrenklcB and Apidce, comprising 
 the extensive and interesting family of Bees.

 * In adopting this character (which is not altogether a sati-sfactory one, being 
 often difficult to distinguish) the compiler has followed after Hartig, Taschen- 
 berg, Andre, etc., without making an examination of the Cynipid®, Chalcididte 
 and Proctotrupidse, in which families exceptions will doubtless be found to occur ; 
 these families, howev ■^r, are readily distinguished from those placed in the next 
 division, by their generiilly very small size and the fewness of the wing nervures ; 
 the Pelecinidse and Chrysidida;, which also have imperfect neuration, are so well 
 characterized thaf they cannot be confounded with anything else. In the other 
 families of this division the posterior trochanters are distinctly 2-jointed.

 those inst'cts popularly known as Saw-flies, which have the abdomen 
 attached 1)V its entire width to the exteiuled ]M)rtion of the meta- 
 tlmnix, which resi'inhles a scirmcnt and has often been described as 
 tin' tirst. The anterior tibite have two apical spurs, and the oviposi- 
 tor consists of tw(» compressed saw-like plates applied against each 
 other, and enclosed in a pair of outer sheaths. In the larva state 
 these instjcts are the most injurious of all hymenoptera, feeding upon 
 the leaves of trees and various plants, and often coni|)letely destroy- 
 iiiir the foliage. The characteristics of the series are given at length 
 by Mr. Norton in his admirable work mentioned below, and which 
 is easily obtainable by all who may wish to make a study of these 
 insects.

 The synopsis given below of this and the following familv, is taken 
 in great part from Mr. Norton's exhaustive monograph entitled, 
 "Catalogue of the described Tenthredinidic and Uroeeridse of North 
 America." (Trans. Am. Ent. Hoc. v»)l. i, June, 1867.) In that valu- 
 able ]»ai)er all the genera and s|)ecies known at that time to occur in 
 our fauna, as well as the family characters, etc., are described at 
 length. Later, in IHSO, the writer j)ublished, also in these Transac- 
 ti(jns, descriptions of many sj)ecies then considered to be new, adding 
 also a copy of the original descriptions (scattered through various 
 |iiiblications), of the sj>ecies described in the interim ; this was fol- 
 lo\vc(l by a list of the genera and s|)ecies with references and habitat.*

XYLOPHAOA — TIROTERID^.. 21 
 
 XYLOPHAGA. 
 
 This series contains only one family of rather small extent, having 
 the abdomen attached to the thorax iis in the Phyllojjhaga, and dif- 
 fering from that series by the anterior tibiaj having but one apical 
 spur, and the borer-like ovipositor fitted for boring into solid wood. 
 
 In the larva state these insects live in the interior of trees, boring 
 large holes and often causing great destruction, esjiecially to pine 
 timber.

 ■■ European writ'^rs, with few ecptions, appear to have a<iopted Sirex Linn. 
 ill preference to Urocenis, which was well described by Greoffroy four years ante- 
 rior to the publication of the twelfth edition of the "Systema Naturse," in which 
 Linnaeus first described Sirex, although the name had been suggested by him as 
 early as 1761. Westwood, in his "Introduction," etc., gave, apparently, valid 
 reasons for the adoption of Vrocerus in preference to Sirex, but in later years has 
 described a number of species under the Linnaean name. Our .si^cics, however, 
 an so well known under the family name Uroceridae, and the generic name 
 I'loc.erus, that we prefer to avoid confusion and make no change for the present.

 22 GENERA OF HYMENOITERA. 
 
 PARASITICA. 
 
 Thifj very extensive series comprises some of the largest families 
 of the Order, the members of whieh in their larva state, excepting 
 the gall-feeding (;vnii)i(laB, are panisitic ui)on or within the bodies (jf 
 other insect"!, and, using the words of WestwotKl, "are of vast impor- 
 tance in the economy of nature by preventing the too great increase 
 of different s|)ecies of insects, esjx?cially of the caterpillars and moths, 
 of which they destroy a great number." The series is characterized 
 chiefly by having the abdomen attached to the ajiex of the thorax 
 by a jjortion only, generally a v^ery small portion, of its transverse 
 diameter, the first segment being often very slender at base, i.e. petio- 
 late, an<l by the ovipositor being elongate and plurivalve, somewhat 
 similar in form to that of the preceding series. Apterous forms occur 
 rarely in all the large families, but their characters are not sufficiently 
 well known to tabulate satisfactorily. 
 
 The distinguishing characters of the eight familias into which the 
 series is divided are repeated here for convenience : 
 
 Table of Families. 
 
 Anterior wings with several closed cells, or at least a closed or nearly closed mar- 
 gitial or sulmiiirjiinal cell, very nirely without either as in Hyptin in 
 Evaniidie ami a few genera of Hracoiiidie''- 2. 
 
 Anterior wings almost veinless and without cells, rarely with a closed marginal 
 or submarginal cell, as in some genera of Proctotrupidajf 7. 
 
 * In a few Proctotrupid genera (e.g. Chelugynus, Embolemus, etc.) the anterior 
 wings exhibit a closed marginal or submarginal cell or both, and closely resemble 
 the Hraconidic in having a distinct recurrent nervure; they may, however, be 
 distinguished from the families in this category as follows : from the Cynipidse 
 by the distinct costal nervure and stigma; from the Evaniidie by the nutde of 
 the insertion of the abdomen ; from the Trigonalidse and Ichneumonida^ by the 
 autenuie having less than l(i Joints and the absence of the second recurrent ner- 
 vure. and from the Stephanida' and Bracotiida; by the posterior wings being dis- 
 tinctly lohed at l)ase, except the genus Helorus, which, however, is readily dis- 
 tinguished by the curious ueuration as described in its place in the Proctotru]iid8e. 
 
 t In Ht/ptia, in Evaniidte, and some of the genera of AphidiinsB, in Braconida?, 
 theanterior wings are without closed marginal, submarginal ordiscoidal cells; but 
 in the former the abdomen is inserted on the disk of the metathonix, and in the 
 latter the stigma is lanceolate or triangular and well develoi)ed, tlie posterior 
 wings not lohed at base, the median and sometimes the subraedian cell is closed, 
 and the abdominal segments are loosely articulated and capable of being bent 
 beneath the thorax. In some genera of Cynipidse the anterior wings are also

 the antenna) are not elbowed and the ovipositor issues before the apex of the

24 GENERA OF HYMENolTEKA. 
 
 Family CYNIPIDiE. 
 
 The Hjxjc'ies of this interestinj; family are all of small size, the 
 heiul {ifenerally small and transvei'se, with slender, straight, 12-1*}- 
 jointed antennsc ; thorax usually robust, oval, the seutellum large, 
 of variable form and sonietimes s])ine<I ; winp^ (sometimes wanting) 
 without a complete costal nervure and stigma (except in the anoma- 
 .^ Ions genus //m//«, which hits an elongate cultriform abdomen ), and 
 with few nervures ; abdomen genc'vUy oval, and more or less com- 
 pressed, rarely knife-sha|)ed, the sec>^iul or third segment largest, the 
 ovipositor spiral and conceale<l within two sheatlis or plates. 
 
 In giving a synopsis of this family (which the compiler has never 
 studied, and hjus therefore v» ry little jiersonal knowledge of the char- 
 acters) it hits l)een thought well to give two methcMli.of chussification ; 
 first, that adopted in the more recent tables by Mr. W. H. Ashmead 
 (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xiii, pp. 59-64, 1886), which characterize all 
 the genera so far indicated iis occurring in this country ; and second, 
 a translation of the tables given by Dr. Mayr, in his " Die Genera 
 der gallenbewohnenden Cynipiden," published in 1881, and based 
 on a careful study of the Eurojjean sjiecies and also nuiny belonging 
 to our fauna, but which do not include all the North American 
 genera, and omit entirely the Figitides. It is probable, however, 
 that when the relationshi] of our many dimorphic forms ha^ been 
 carefully studied, as has been done for the Eurojx^an species, the 
 classification suggested by Mr. ^Vshmead will require a thonjugh 
 revision. 
 
 According to the latter the family is divisible into two sections, 
 the majority of the sj)ecies of the first section being true gall-makers, 
 producing galls or abdominal deformations or excrescences on various 
 trees and plants, while some are termed guest-flies, living in the galls 
 made by the former, from which they are said to be scarcely distin- 
 guishable. The sjiecies of the second section are all parasitic in their 
 habits. 
 
 The family is divided in the following manner : 
 
 Marginal cell of anterior wings long and narrow ; venter visible, or visible for 
 more than half its length Section GYMXOOASTRI. 
 
 Marginal cell an equilateral triangle; venter not visible, i-r with the tip alone 
 occasionally exposed Section CRYPTOGASTRI. 
 
 The first section contains the true gall-makers (Psenides), the 
 guest-flies ( Inquilines), and the peculiar genus Jbalia; while the 
 second section includes the Figitides, v.hich are parasitic.

86 GENERA OF HYMENOPTERA. 
 
 Concerning our genera and fi|)ecie8 of this interesting family, con- 
 siderable has been written by Osten Sacken, Walsh, Bassett and 
 Ashniea<l, a list of whose publications will be given, in the Biblio- 
 graphical List, further on. 
 
 Family EVANIID^. 
 
 This family is eai»ily distinguished by the abdomen being attached 
 to the disk or near the ba.se of the metathorax, and not at the apex 
 as is the ca^ in the other families. The genera are readily separated 
 by the characters given in the folhnving table. The abdomen is 
 petiolate and more or less compressed in all the genera ; it is long, 
 sickle-shajied in Faims, subelliptic, when viewed laterally, in J ulaciis, 
 short, hatchet-shaped in Evania, and small, ovate in Hi/ptia, nuich 
 compressed and attached to the thorax by a rather long slender 
 petiole in the last two genera. 
 
 The genus Pammegischia Prov. (which the writer has not seen) 
 seems to differ from Aulacus chiefly in the formation of the jx)sterior 
 coxae. 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Anterior wings with two recurrent nervures; abdomen attached to the pyra- 
 niidially elevated middle of metathor.ix, almost elliptical in shape, sub- 
 compressed, about as long as head and thorax, ovipositor long ; three

 times more or less incomplete, three complete discoidal cells; mesothorax 
 much elevated anteriorly, coarsely transversely rugose and usually promi- 
 nently trilobed ; head not narrowed behind the eyes which do not attain 
 base of mandibles; antennte inserted low down near base of clypens, about 
 on a line with lower margin of the rounded eyes, scape short, dilated ; pos- 
 terior legs long and slender, — Atilaclase. 
 
 Posterior coxse as usual ; firet submarginal cell receiving the first recurrent 
 nervure at or near the tip Anlacnst Jur.

 up about opposite the middle of the oblong eyes, — Evaniinae. 
 
 Abdomen attached to base of metathorax close to scutelUnn, long, sickle- 
 shajied, much longer than head and thorax, subclavate, gradually increas- 
 ing in width from its insertion, ovipositor long ; anterior wings with a long 
 marginal cell which almost reaches the ai)ex of the wing, two submarginal 
 cells, first unusually large, second open to apical margin, first discoidal cell 
 very small and narrow, second discoidal open beneath by a deflection of 
 the anal nervure, third discoidal open to apical margin of the wing ; head 
 elongiitc, depressed, extended and more or less narrowed behind the eyes 
 which attain the base of mandibles; scape short; mesothorax convex,

 abrupt anteriorly, prothorax jirolonged into a neck ; metathorax gradually 
 8lo))ing Ix'hind ; postorior tihite strongly <'lavatt', being slender at base and 
 
 nnich thickened toward the tip Fcenua Fabr. 
 
 Abdomen attached to the dorsum of metathorax remote from scutellum, by 
 means of a slender abrupt petiole which is about as bmg as the remaining 
 segments together, which form a strongly comprejssed, broad ovate or 
 liatchet-sha|)ed body, the entire abdomen shorter than head and thorax ; 
 ovipositor not exaertod ; head not prolonged behind the eyes which are 
 unusually remote from base of mandibles; scape long; mesothorax small, 
 depressed, prothorax not elongate; metathorax rather abruptly declivous 
 behind ; jMistcrior legs unusually long, slender. 
 
 Anterior wings with a complete marginal cell, broad •nd truncate at apex, 
 and one complete rhomboidal submarginal cell, thirA discoidal cell not en- 
 closed Evanla Fabr. 
 
 Anterior wings without marginal, submarginal and discoidal cells, only the 
 costal cell and a basal nervure distinct Hyptia Illig. 
 
 The jjenus Anlacms is at present represented by seventeen species 
 from different parts of the country ; of Fmnm eight species have 
 been described, all but one from Colorado and British America; 
 PammegiscJiia has one species from Canada*; Evania two and Hyptia 
 two. The species of Evania are parasites upon the cockroach (Blattae). 
 The habits of the other genera have not been observed, although 
 Foenus is said to be parasitic upon certain Bees. 
 
 Family TRIGONALIDiE. 
 
 This family contains only the genus Tkigonalys Westv-, which 
 has the head large, subquadrate, much extended behind the eyes, 
 face short and broad ; clypeus emarginate anteriorly ; labrum very 
 small ; mandibles large, robust, apex with three or four teeth ; max- 
 illary palpi 6-jointed, labial palpi 3-jointed ; antennae inserted near 
 the base of the clyi)eus, remote, about as long as the head and thorax, 
 about 2o-jointed, the first joint short, subglobose ; eyes relatively 
 small, reaching the base of the mandibles ; ocelli placed in a triangle 
 on the broad vertex ; prothorax not seen from above ; mesothorax 
 abruptly truncate in front, fitting tolerably close to the broad head ; 
 scutellum subbituberculate, excavated on the posterior middle ; meta- 
 thorax short and oblicjuely declivous posteriorly ; wings moderately 
 narrow, stigma well developed, elongate, costal cell distinct ; marginal 
 cell broad, lanceolate, reaching nearly to the apex of the wing ; four 
 submarginal cells, the second and third small, the former subtrian- 
 gular and the latter subquadrate, the fourth extending to the tip of 
 the wing, the second receiving the first recurrent nervure near the

 base, and the third receiving the second recurrent, which is straight, 
 a little in front of middle ; j)osterior wing-' well veined ; legs nKwler- 
 ately sh')rt, slender, the four posterior tihite each with two apical 
 spurs, all the tarsi r)-jointed, their claws hiHd ; abdomen attached to 
 the aj)ex of the nietatii(>rax, subsessile, short, ovate, convex, narrowed 
 and suddeidy depressed at base, the u|)ex deflexed, es|K'cially in % , 
 the second segment nmch the largest ; beneath, the large second seg- 
 ment of the % is more or less strongly produced at the apical middle. 
 
 Of this anomalous genus four sjK'cies have been described as oc- 
 curring in our fauna. They are widely distributed and rare, the 
 localities being Ma-ssachusetts, West Virginia, North ('arolina and 
 Nevada.

 Family ICHNEUMONIDiE. 
 
 This very extensive family (the Ichneumones gcnuini Grav.) is dis- 
 tinguished by the well-veined anterior wings (fig. 9, which are rarely 
 rudimentary or wantinjj »> in Pezomachus and allied genera) having 
 the nervure separating the first subniargiiud cell from the first dis- 
 coidal cell either entirely obliterated or else i-educed to a mere stump 
 of a vein (i), whereby the two cells, termed the cubito-discoidal cell 
 (5), become confluent; moreover, the second submarginal cell, or 
 areolet (6), is greatly reduced in size, sometimes petiolate and often 
 entirely obsolete ; the third discoidal cell (9) is always complete

PARASITICA — ICHNKUMONID-'K. 39 
 
 (exfoptiiig in the genus Phni'mlla of the Ophioninte) an<l therefore 
 there are two recurrent nervures, the first of which is received hy 
 the cubito-«liscoi»hil cell, which rarely receives both as in Ojihion, 
 Thifn'oihrn, X(>tt)tr<irhiiin\iu] Aroffn; the costal cell is absent by reason 
 of the conHuence of the costal and subcostal nervures (a) ; the stigma 
 (n) is usually well devehnHjd, sometimes very large, rarely subob- 
 solete. ' 
 
 The head is generally transverse, scarcely wider than the thorax, 
 sometimes sulxjuadnite when the cheeks are inflated, rarely globose ; 
 the face is usually flat or feebly convex, sometimes prominently con- 
 vex as in OrtlioceitfniK, KrochiiK, etc., very rarely scutatiform as in 
 MHoj>luj<; cly|)eus depressed or convex, seldom nasutiform jis in 
 Gri/pocentriu<, often without line of separation from the face as is 
 frecjuently the case in the Ophioninoe ; the eyes are more or less 
 prominent and lateral, s<mietimes subemarginate within opi)osite the 
 insertion of the antennie ; ocelli generally small and arranged in a 
 curve or triangle, rarely large and prominent as in Ophion, Epbnecis, 
 etc. ; the antenna; seldom exceed the body in length, usually slender 
 and filiform, rarely dilated as in Jopjndinm and Euceros, or some of 
 the joints emarginate as in Ci/Uoceria ; they are never elbowed, the 
 basal joint mostly short, ovate or globose, and the second joint sjuall 
 and annular. 
 
 The prothorax, or collar, is generally short and inconsj)icuous 
 whon viewed from above, but laterally extending to the teguhe ; 
 mesc thorax smooth or punctured, rarely transversely ridged as in 
 lihij><i'i, etc. ; scutellum usually flattened or convex, rarely j)yrami(lal 
 as in Tragus, or spined as in Baiichus, and often of a different color 
 from the ."est of the thorax ; metathorax generally areolated, rarely 
 bispinose iis in Hoptlsmemis, Hemlteh^, Mesostenus, etc. 
 
 The legs are usually long and slender, the posterior femora seldom 
 toothed beneath as in Odontomerus, Prisfomervs and Elphosoma ; 
 sometimes the tibite are inflated or twisted as in Xylonomus and allied 
 genera. 
 
 The abdomen is generally elongate-ovate, or cylindrical or subfu- 
 siform, pedunculate and often sessile, or compressed and sickle-shai)ed 
 as in the Ophioninae, and always attached to the a{)ex of the meta- 
 thorax ; the ovipositor varies nmch in length, often short, or not ex- 
 serted, or very long as in Rhymi and many of the Pimplinae, the 
 ventral valve rarely large, long and lanceolate as in Coleocentirus and 
 allied genera. 
 
40 OKNERA OF HYMKNOITKRA. 
 
 This Is one of the most diffieiilt ami nnsjitisfnctory faniilies to tnbu- 
 luto, Ih'cuuw tl»o chjirat'tcrx that have Ihhii made known are, in many 
 cases, so prone to vary and hi'come internie<iiate. For instanee : in 
 the h)ng established f,'enera Mem/eptuM and TnjphoH, the tbrnier is 
 chani<'terize<l ehietly hy the jxitiohite abdomen, and the hitter by the 
 sessile alnlomen, while Mvmleim, an inU-rmediate j;enus, is distin- 
 fiuished by the sub|K'tiolate or sid)sessile abdomen, the dittieulty being 
 to determine where one ends and the other iR'gins. Of course, tiiere 
 are other ditierential eharaet*'rs, sueh as the tnuisverse or bueeat« 
 head, carinate or 8nMH)th petiole, slender or robust legs, etc., but these 
 also show the same disposition to vary, so that there are t're<iuent 
 cases where, with our pnwt^nt im|X!i-fect knowledjjje of eliaracters, we 
 are at a loss to say in what genus the species should Ik* placed. This 
 difficulty, howeve '. 'jan be overcome by a careful study of a large 
 amount of material.

 Family STEPHANIDiE. 
 
 In this family the head is globcjse, rugose, the vertex tuberculate, 
 cheeks smooth and swollen ; eyes ovate, relatively small and distant 
 fnmi the bsiseof the mandibles which are trianjridar and protruding; 
 antenna' long, setaceous, multiarticulate (with from thirty to forty 
 joints), inserted low down near the clypeus and well separated, the 
 scape sid)globose ; i)rothor; \ more or less narrowed anteriorly into a 
 neck ; metathorax quadrate or sulxjuadrate, with protuberant flanks ; 
 wings narrow, stigma well develoj)ed, costal cell distinct, marginal 
 cell long, narrow, lanceolate, extending almost to the apex of the 
 wing, one complete sidimarginal and two discoidal (first and second) 
 cells ; four anterior legs slender with short coxte, anterior tarsi longer 
 tlian their tibite ; posterior legs robust, the rugose coxte nearly as 
 long as their femora which are incrassated and more or less toothed 
 beneath, their tibiie longer than their femora, elavate, compressed 
 and narrowed towards the base and sometimes pinched, their tarsi 
 about half the length of their tibia' ; tibial spurs very short ; tarsal 
 claws entire ; abdomen long, enlarged and subconipressed at the a]>ex 
 in 9 , attached to the a})ex of the metathorax, petiolate or subsessile ; 
 ovipositor longer than the body. 
 
 Our species may be separated into two genera, distinguished by 
 the following characters : 
 
 Posterior tarsi 5-jointed in 9 (and presumably so in %) ; neck comparatively 
 short ; abdomen subsessile, the first segment not longer than the second. 
 
 NtephaiinN Jurine. 
 
 Posterior tarsi S-jointed in 9. 5-jointed in % ; neck long; abdomen petiolate, 
 the first segment long, slender, cylindrical, fully twice tlie length of the 
 second MogiMchus Brulle. 
 
 The characteristics given above of Stephanm are those of a species 
 (cindlpes) from Wsishington Territory, the only one yet described jus 
 occurring in our fauna and of wliich onlv the 9 i*^ known ; the form 
 
PARAHITU'A — BRACONIDiE. 68 
 
 of the neck and abdomen differs considerably from that jriven by 
 authors of Sti-jthanus, and it is probable that our 8|)ecie8 is referable 
 to a new j^enus. 
 
 Of MeyischuA, three species have been described from Pennsyl- 
 vania, Georgia and Texas. 
 
 The 8i)ecies of this family aj)|)ear to be rare in collections. 
 
 Family BRACONIDiE. 
 
 This family (the Ichnenmoneti adttciti Nees) is closely relate*! to the 
 Ichneiunonidie, and is distinguislu-d l)y the ab'^'^'v-e of the second re- 
 current nervurc in the anterior vvinjp*, and by havinjjf the first sub- 
 marginai cell generally, though n(»t always, separated from the first 
 discoidal cell, and with the exception of one subfamily, the Aphidiinse, 
 by the non-existence of a real articulation between the second and 
 third abdominal segnjents. Sometimes these two segments are sol- 
 dered together, without a trace of a suture between them ; when the 
 junction is visible, it is called the suturij'orm (niieulution. In the 
 Apbidiiniv, all the segments are loosely articulated and flexible, and 
 consequently capable of being bent forward beneath the thorax. 
 
 The following diagram of the neuration of the anterior wing of a 
 liraconid, from which the majority of the characters for the separa- 
 tion of the genera are taken, will serve to aid the student in locating 
 the various cells and nervures.

 OENKKA OF HYMENOI'TERA. 
 
 Family CHALCIDIDiE. 
 
 This fnniily is (•()nij)ose(l of a lar^e nuiiiber of insec't*i generally of 
 execediiiirly small size, many of the species havinir hrillinnt metallic 
 eolors. Thf'V are all jcirasitic, many of them hein^^ parasites upon 
 other parasites, and some (lepositintr their ejrjfs in various galls where 
 the larva; feed upon and destroy the legitimate inhabitants. 
 
 The anterior wings* (fig. 11) rarely rudimentary or wanting, are 
 nearly veinless; usually a strong subniarginal vein (a) runs parallel 
 
 with the anterior 
 margin for a distance 
 (generally more than 
 is shown in the cut) 
 where it unites with 
 the costa, along which 
 it contuiues for a dis- 
 tance as a marginal 
 vein (b), and tlien bi- 
 furcates, the upper 
 branch being the jtostmarginal ( c), and the lower branch the stigmal 
 (d), which usually descends in an obli(|ue direction, and is often 
 thickened or clubbed. The posterior wings have, at most, only a 
 short subniarginal vein. In the genus Lencoi^jm the anterior wings 
 are folded longitudinally in repo.«e, similar to those of the Vespidse. 
 The antenme (tig. 12) are exceedingly variable in form in this family, 
 
 and are often curiously developed in 
 the males of some of the genera, being 
 sometimes short and clubbed, or the 
 joints nodose and ciliated with long 
 hairs, sometimes they are beautifully 
 branched, the number of joints varying 
 from six to fourteen. The posterior 
 femora are sometimes enormously swol- 
 len and toothed beneath, and in some

 spurs being umi.sually devc'l()|K'<l ; the tarsi altli()u<rh generally •> 
 jointed, have sometimes only 8 or 4 joints. The abdomen is of varied 
 shape, both in the ditterent species and in the sexes of" the same spe- 
 cies; sometimes it is petiolate, but I'sually sessile or sul)sessile, or 
 rather connected to the thorax by a very short narrowed portion of 
 its base; the ovipositor is generally concealed, although occasionally 
 it is exserted and longer than the body. 
 
 Mr. L. O. Howard, who has made the studv of this interesting 
 family a specialty, lias published a " Synopsis" of the subfamilies and 
 genera in the Entoiint/of/irK Aintrlcutiit for l^<^<(j, from which the fol- 
 lowing tables are copied almost verbatim.

 This family if< closely allit'(l in many rts^pecb^ to the ('halci<li(hi', 
 hut is readily distiiitruished l)V the j>osterioi' iiiartrin or anodes of* the 
 prothorax exteiidinjr to the tej,'ulie, and the ovipositor issuinL'' from 
 the apex of the al)(h>men. The s|K>cies are <renerally very small and 
 are usually shininjj; black or brown in color and have some very 
 curious forms, exhibitiuir a singular diversity of structure. The 
 winfjs are jjrenerally almost veinless, but in some of the subfamilies, 
 e. jr. Dryinina-, End)oleminie and Ilelorina', the maririnal, submar- 
 ginal or discoidal cells are often completely chwd, and in this re- 
 spect closely resend)le the neuration of certain Hraconidse; the pos- 
 terior winirs are almost always destitute of veins and are distinctly 
 lobed near the base in the Dryiuinte, Embolemiiue and most, if not 
 all, of the liethylina'. The species have been but little studied in 
 this country and conscijuently only a few have been described. The 
 followinjr tables have been copied fri)m those of Mr. Howard, pub- 
 lished in the thirteenth volume of these Transactions:

 apex, the second and following segments becoming gradually shorter

 The females are common where they occur, while the males are 
 exceedingly rare. Their habits are unknown, but are doubtless 
 parasitic. 
 
 TUBULIFERA 
 
 This group of insects contains the single family Chrysididae, char- 
 acterized by the abdomen having apjiarently very few segments, 
 from three to five, the remainder being modified into a telescopic and 
 retractile tube, which is drawn within the body when not required 
 for its legitimate purjjose ; it is furnished at the extremity in the 
 males with the organs of generation and in the females with a minute 
 sting-like ovipositor. 
 
 These insects, although of niodeiate size, are among the most 
 beautiful of our hymenoptera, being adorned with brilliant metallic 
 blue, green and ruby. The body is often deeply punctured, the ab- 
 domen in some genera being almost rounded or semicircular and 
 entire at apex, while in other genera, e. g. Ckrysis, it is usually ter- 
 minated by a series of teeth, varying in number from two to six, the 
 apical margin being preceded by a transverse row of deep pits. 
 
 In their economy the Chrysidida; are said to differ from the pre- 
 ceding tribe in that the females do not deposit their eggs in the bodies 
 of other insects, but cuckoo-like, place them in the already provis- 
 ioned nests of other hymenoptera, chiefly those of solitary wasps and 
 bees, and being first hatched, these larvae feed upon and devour the 
 supply of food stored up for the support of the others, which are 
 thus starved and destroyed. 
 
 Family CHRYSIDIDiE. 
 
 The following synoptic table is compiled from an excellent mono- 
 graph of the family by Mr. S. F. Aaron, jjublished in the I'ith vol- 
 ume of these Transactions and illustrated by several plates of well 
 drawn figures, leaving the compiler little or nothing to do but to 
 copy the characters given of the subfamilies and genera. 
 
 The family is divisible into four subfamilies, as follows :

 HETEROGYNA. 
 
 Thi.s series is composed of a large number of insects familiarly 
 known as Ants (but not including the " white ants," or Termites, 
 which belong to the Neuroj)tera), " and which are known by their 
 habit of residing in more or less numerou.s societies under ground ; 
 whence arises the necessity for a great number of individuals (workers 
 or neuters) having the sexual organs and instincts rendered abortive, 
 whereby, being freed from the latter, they are the better fitted to 
 |)erform the labors of the community, for which purpose they are 
 moreover destitute of wings ; whilst the male.s and females are much

 gation of their s|)e('ie!<. * * * Thtw instH'ts have attracted the 
 attention of the observers of Nature from tlie earliest time; and 
 their untiring exertions for the welfare of the community, their de- 
 votion to the young and their carefulness in the collection and storing 
 up of various materials, have led to their being regarded ai§ examples 
 of surprising instinctive foresight." ( Westwood). 
 
 While considerable has been ])ublished concerning the habits of 
 certain of our sj)ecies, the scientific study of these most interesting 
 creatures has been sadly neglected, owing doubtless to the want of a 
 knowledge of generic characters, which have nowhere, until now, 
 been tabulated in the English language ; these tables, however, in 
 consequence of the neglect of the study and the ignorance existing 
 concerning our sjiecies, nnist necessarily l)e very incomplete. The 
 c(»llection of the American Entomological Society, so rich in most of 
 the other series, is exceedingly meagre in this, and it is notorious that 
 in the many collections sent in, from time to time, for determination, 
 very few ants are re{)resented and then only the most common, which 
 may be partly accounted for by the fact that as a majority of the 
 species are subterranean in their habits and of small size, they are 
 apt to escape the nt)tice of collectors. 
 
 The series is characterized by the petiole of the abdomen having 
 (me or more scales, or nodes, and the societies consisting of three 
 sexes, males, females and workers. It is divisable into five families, 
 in the following manner: •

94 GENERA OF HYMENOPTERA. 
 
 Nearly 200 sj)ecies have thus far been described as inhabiting our 
 fauna, about 30 of wliich are said to be identical with European 
 forms. Since the publication of Mr. Buckley's descriptive papers in 
 1866, only a few isolated species have been described ajs indigenous 
 to our country. 
 
 For exceedingly interesting accounts of the habits of some of our 
 species, we are indebted to the observations of our esteemed friend 
 and co-laborer, the Rev. Dr. H. C. McCook, a list of whose published 
 writings will be given further on. 
 
 The characters given in the following tables are compiled chiefly 
 from the second volume of Andre's admirable " Species des Hymen- 
 opt^res d' Europe," published in 1882-83.

 * In the 9 of Myzine in the Scoliidie, the intermediate tibije have apparently 
 two apical spurs, but then the marginal cell is long and narrow, and distinctly 
 separated from the anterior margin of the wing, and the third submarginal cell 
 extends far beyond the ai)ex of the marginal, which is never the case in the 
 Mutillidse. In species with spinose legs it is difficult to distinguish the apical 
 spurs from the spiues, the former, however, are genf^i'ally colored differently from 
 the latter.

 Family MUTILLIDiE. 
 
 Mr. C. A. Blake, who has made the .study of this extensive family 
 a s[)ecialty, ha.s published in the third volume of these Transactions 
 (1871), an exhaustive "Synopsis" of the genera and s{)e('ies found 
 in Nortli America, and subsequently a bibliogra])hical c'atal(>gue of 
 the same. After a space of fifteen years the accumulation of material 
 has made a revision of tht family desirable, and which ha-s just been 
 published, by the same author, under the title of " A Monograph of 
 the Mutillidie of Xorth America" (Tran.s. Am. Ent. Soc. xiii, 1S86). 
 
 The family nuiy be divided into seven genera by the following 
 characters : 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Marginal cell of anterior wings % short, the apex generally truncate and remote 
 
 from the tip of the wing ; 9 (as far as known) without ocelli 2. 
 
 Marginal cell of anterior wings % long and pointed at apex and extending almost 
 
 to the tip of the wing; 9 with distinct ocelli 3.

 Pmmmoiherma is i('j)resente(l by a single species found in Florida, 
 Jill exceedintfly rare insect, the only s]H;cinien known being in the 
 Harris collection. 
 
 Of MntUla, Sj)/i<irojtltth<ihna and Photojma (^ Agama \\ Blake), 
 there are numerous s])ecies ; the females of the latter genus are still 
 not known as such, and are j)robably iarviforni and subterranean in 
 their habit, while the males are abundant wherever they occur, 
 chietly in the far Western and Southwestern States. 
 
 Chi/photea, which is readily recognized by the form of the thorax 
 and the elongate petiole of the abdomen, is represented by a single 
 sjKJcies from Arizona and Southern California ; the males are not 
 known. 
 
 Myrmom contains only two species, the females of which are un- 
 known, and of Methoca four species have been described as inhabiting 
 our fauna ; of the latter genus, Mygin Say S and bicolor Say 9 , are 
 probably sexes of the same species ; the sexes are very dissimilar in 
 .shaj)e, size and color, the % having the apj)earance of a good sized 
 Ichneumon, while the 9 at fii*st sight resembles an ant. The 9 of 
 Mi/nnosa, which is also very different from the 7> , is said to have 
 much the same sha})e as that of Matilla, but is at once distinguished 
 by the presence of ocelli. In some specimens of Myrmosa tinicoloT 
 % the dividing nervure between the first and second submarginal 
 cells is abbreviated, the ])osterior coxa has a short flattened tubercle 
 or spine above, and the basal segment of the abdomen a tubercle or 
 hooked spine l>eneath near the base. 
 
 * This genus is placed here provisionally, the % being unknown. 
 
108 GENERA OF HYMENOPTERA. 
 
 The genus Isehiocerm Prov. (Faun. Ent. Can. ii, ()09), described 
 as belonging to the Seoliidse, appears to be composed of the males of 
 Myrmosa and Methoca, the " 9 " being % Myrmosa unicolor Say, and 
 the % Meihoca dygia Say. 
 
 The habits of the Mutillidse are believed to be parasitic, or at least 
 those of the genus Mutilla, and carnivf)rous in the larva state. The 
 late Frederick Smith states that from a nest of a certain species of 
 BombuH, only two worker bees were obtained, but as many a^ seventy- 
 six specimens of a Mutilla, the larvae of which were also found in 
 the cells closed in as usual by the full-fed grub of the bee. Their 
 attacks cannot, however, be confined to humble-bees, as the latter 
 have not been found either in Australia or tro])ical Africa, and yet 
 the Mutillidaj are common in both countries ; likewise in Mexico, 
 the species of Mutilla are plentiful, while those of Bombxis are very 
 scarce.

 enclosed space oblong, slightly narrowed posteriorly; second submar- 
 ginal cell of % not narrowed towards the marginal, being truncate 
 
 and broadest at tip; clypeus black in both sexes Tiphin Fabr. 
 
 Basr.l segment of abdomen truncate at base, the truncation bounded bj- a 
 carina; first transverse cubital nervure present, but abbreviated, not 
 quite reaching the cubital nervure, therefore three submarginal cells ; 
 metathorax short, transverse, coarsely sculptured in % , the enclosed 
 space triangular; % clypeus white and the third submarginal cell 
 narrowed towards the marginal and pointed at ap'^x ; second and 
 third submarginal cells sometimes confluent or nearly so, by the 
 absence or abbreviation of the second transverse cubital nervure.

 Marginal cell closed at apex in both sexes, that of the 9 "ot touching the 
 anterior margin of the wing, except at the extreme base ; three com- 
 plete submarginal cells, the neuration of tlie anterior wings very differ- 
 ent in the sexes; eyes of % subemarginate within Myziiie Latr.

 Our species of this* family have not yet been monographed, and 
 there exists much confusion among the species of Myzine, which ap- 
 pear to be quite variable. In the study of the genera Scolia and 
 Elii, the admirable work of Messrs. Saussure and Sichel, entitled 
 " Catalogus Specierum Generis Scolia" 1864, will be found to be ii.- 
 disjiensible. 
 
 Family SAPYGID^. 
 
 This small family comprises some pretty species of modoiate size, 
 mostly l)hu'k in color, spotted and banded with yellow, rarely en- 
 tirely black. Westwood considered it as a subfatnily of the Scoliidse, 
 but it is readily distinguished from that family by the absence of the 
 constriction or furmw between the first and second ventral segments, 
 by the subclavate antenme, by the smooth subcylindrical abdomen, 
 and by the different neuration of the anterior wings which have four 
 submarginal cells, i.e. the cubital nervure extends to the a])ical mar- 
 gin of the wing ; moreover, the legs are slender, smooth and free 
 froni spines and coarse hairs. Sometimes the aculeus is considerably 
 exserted. The species are probably parasitic, cuckoo-like, in their 
 habits, the 9 entering the burrows of certain Bees and depositing 
 its eggs in the cells of the latter. 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Vertex with smooth raised spots; ocelli small, indistinct; pale line on inner or- 
 bits more or less raised or blistered; apex of antennse similar in the sexes.

 raised; apex of antennse dissimilar in the sexes, that of % more or less 
 thickened, with the terminal joint much smaller than the penultimate. 
 
 Sapyga Latr. 
 
 The species belonging to the genera characterized above, have been 
 tabulated in a short paper read before the Entomological Section of 
 the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, November, 1880, 
 but detailed descrij)tions of the new species indicated the>*ein have 
 not yet been published.

 * Mr. E. Saunders, in his "Synojisis of British Fossorial Hymenoptera" (Trans. 
 Ent. Soc. Loud. 1880, p. 231) calls attention to a character, pointed out by Thom- 
 son, for the separation of the closely allied genera Pompilns and Priocnemis, the 
 tormer having the vertex impunctured, and that of the latter distinctly punc- 
 fured in both sexes ; this character, however, does not seem to apply to our species.

 and second submarginal cells combined ; marginal cell obliquely trun- 
 cate at tip Mygnimia Smith. 
 
 Second submarginal cell much larger than the third, receiving the first re- 
 current nervure near the base ; marginal cell obtusely pointed at tij). 
 
 I'opsis Fabr. 
 
 This large and interestintr family has been monographed in a paper 
 entitled " Notes on the Pompilidne of North America" published in 
 the first volume of these Transactions, 1867, wherein the genera and 
 species then known are described at length. Since then quite a num- 
 ber of species have been added to our fauna, as will be seen in the 
 list given further on. 
 
 The species of this family generally burrow in sand banks, pro- 
 visioning their cells mostly with spiders, which they first paralyze. 
 Some sjiecies, e. g. of Agenia, the legs of which are not fitted for 
 burrowing, construct mud-cells, placed irregularly side by side upon 
 walls similar to those made by Pelopoeus, a genus of the Sphecidae. 
 The species of Pcjh-d-*, which are among the largest of our hymenop- 
 tera, prey ujwn the Tarantula, an interesting account of which has 
 been published by Mr. Buckley in the first volume of the Proceed- 
 ings of the Entomological Society of Philadelphia. For an exceed- 
 ingly interesting account of the habits of these insects, the reader is 
 referred to an article published by the late Benj. D. Walsh, in the 
 first volume of the "American Entomologist," pp. 122-148. 
 
 Mr. Westwood (Introd. Mod. Class. Ins. ii, 203) includes the Pom- 
 pilida- as a subfamily of Sphecidae, which he, curiously enough, char- 
 acterizes as " having the collar laterally dilated and extending as far 
 as the base of the wings," which is certainly not the case in Amnw- 
 phila, Sphex, Pelopaeiis or any of the genera of his first subfamily. 
 
 Family SPHECIDiE. 
 
 This family has the prothorax narrowed anteriorly and forming a 
 sort of neck, but the posterior angles are not prolonged to the base 
 of the wings, as is the case in the preceding families of the Fossores ; 
 the basal segment of the abdomen is narrowed generally into a long, 
 smooth, round petiole, and the head and thorax are usually clothed 
 with long, thin pubescence. 
 
 _ The species mostly burrow into sand-banks, and provision their 
 cells with caterpillars and spiders. 
 
 The following table will assist in separating the genera: .

F08SORE8 — AMPULICID^. 113 
 
 all parts of the country ; it differs from the other genera chiefly by 
 the two-jointed petiole of the abdomen. 
 
 Pelopcens and Chnlybion are closely allied ; the species of the for- 
 mer are black with yellow markings, while those of Chnlybion are 
 blue or violet in color, and with the petiole of the abdomen much 
 shorter. They construct their nests of mud in the corners of rooms, 
 under the roofs of outbuildings and other sheltered situations. 
 
 The sjiecies of Chlorion are large insects, and are among the most 
 beautiful of our hymenoptera, being of a brilliant blue, green or 
 violet color ; the genus is distinguished by the unidentate tarsal 
 claws ; only two species have been described as inhabiting our fauna. 
 
 Podium is represented by two species, both very rare, from the 
 Southern States ; in this genus the form is long and slender, the pro- 
 thorax elongate and narrowed into a neck. 
 
 Isodontia has three species, all originally described as belonging to 
 Sphex, which, however, differs by the much shorter abdominal i)etiole, 
 and different form of the anterior margin of the clypeus. 
 
 Sphex contains twelve species of wide distribution, most of them 
 being large, handsome insects, of strong, vigorous habit. 
 
 Of the other genera, Hmpactopus is represented by three si)ecies 
 from Colorado and Texas, and of Priononyx, which has 5-toothed 
 tarsal claws, three species have been described, two of which are of 
 common occurrence. 
 
 Family AMPULICIDiE. 
 
 Form long and slender; head large, flattened, subtriangular ; clypeus rostrate, 
 the mandibles large, free, acute at tip; antennae slender; prothorax elongate, 
 produced anteriorly into a rather slender neck ; metathorax suhquadrate, 
 truncate posteriorly, the upper surface depressed, longitudinally carinate and 
 reticulate ; wings narrow, rather short, anterior pair banded with fuliginous, 
 two submargiual cells, the first twice as long as the second, and receiving the 
 first recurrent nervure in the middle ; legs long and slender, femora swollen 
 in the middle ; abdomen elongate-ovate, acute at apex, smooth and polished, 
 attached to the thorax by a slender petiole, which is shorter than the jioste-

114 GENERA OF HYMENOPTERA. 
 
 Family LARRIDiE. 
 The followiiifr synopsis of the genera is by Mr. W. H. Patton, who 
 has made a study of the family, and published an interesting i)aj)er 
 on the subject in the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural 
 History for 1880. 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Eyes emarginate within; second submarginal cell petiolate Pison Spin. 
 
 Eyes entire ; second submarginal cell not jietiolate. 
 Exterior margin of mandibles scarcely emarginate. 
 
 First submarginal cell shorter than the second and third combined, and di- 
 vided by a spurious nervure; eyes of o meeting on the vertex : in- 
 termediate tibite with two spura. Astnta Latr. 
 
 First submarginal cell longer than the second and third combined, not di- 
 vided; eyes not meeting on the vertex ; mandibles not dentate within. 
 
 Liris Fabr. 
 Exterior margin of mandibles with a broad, deep emargination near the base. 
 
 Three distinct ocelli liyroda Say. 
 
 Posterior ocelli distorted or obsolete. 
 Metathorax as long as mesothorax, truncate behind ; marginal cell truncate 
 
 at tip Ibarra Latr. 
 
 Metathorax shorter than me.sothorax, rounded behind; marginal cell nar- 
 row and rounded at tip ; mandibles dentate within Tacliytes Panz. 
 
 Of the genera characterized above, Plmn is represented by one 
 species from Georgia, and Astata by twelve, mostly found in the far 
 Western States, while to Liris has been referred a single species tVoni 
 Colorado, whose charactei-s do not altogether accord with those of 
 that genus. Lyroda. which is distinguished from the remaining genera 
 by having three distinct ocelli, is represented by two species. Most 
 of the species referred to Lcirra, about twenty in number, were origi- 
 nally described as belonging to Lnrrnda, which, according to Patton, 
 is not generically distinct. 
 
 Of Tacht/tes, sixteen species have been described. Referring to 
 the species of this genus, Mr. Patton says : " So quick are these in- 
 sects in their motions, and so watchful are they, that their capture is 
 difficidt ; however stealthily they are approached while resting on the 
 flowers, their green eyes are sure to face the intruder, and the least 
 suspicious act sends them circling in the air, or ofl' in an exceedingly 
 ra[)id flight." 
 
 The species of this family are ordinarily found in sandy situations, 
 where the females burrow, provisioning their cells chiefly with Or- 
 thopterous insects. The s])ecies of 71«7///fw are said to be very par- 
 tial to the flowers of Asclepias. 
 
F0880RE8 — BEMBECID-E. llo 
 
 Family BEMBECIDiE. 
 
 This family is characterized chiefly by the distinctly exserted lab- 
 rum, which in some genera is long and rostrif'orm, and contains s' le 
 of the largest and finest s})ecies of the Order. The genera belonging 
 to the Stizini have been admirably treated in a paper by Mr. Patton 
 (Bull. V. U. S. Geo. Surv. 1879), in which the characters are given 
 in detail. 
 
 The following table will assist in separating the genera :

 To the genus Sphecbis belong tAvo large species, which have been 
 generally referred to Stizus; one of them, speciottits, — an exceedingly 
 variable species found all over the United States — preys upon the 
 Cicada, with whidi it provisions its nest ; an interesting account of 
 the habits of this species is given by Fuller in the " American En- 
 tomologist," vol. iii, p. 167. Megastizim has one species from the 
 Western States and Texas, and Bembecinus two from Florida and 
 Texas. To StiznA two sj)ecies are referred, one of which, Servillei 
 St. Farg., ha.'^ not yet been identified, while the other, tmieinctus Say, 
 is very common in the far AVest and Southwest ; it is black with a 
 broad reddish band on the abdomen, and the wings broad, violaceous- 
 black, with the extreme tips subhyaline. 
 
 The Bembecini have not yet been monographed, and considerable 
 confusion exists in the species belonging to the genera Bembex and 
 Monedula, of which seven are referred to the former and nine to the 
 latter, while Microbembex and StenioUa have each one sj)ecies. 
 
 Family NYSSONID^. 
 
 Since the publication of Dr. Packard's " Revision of the Fossorial 
 Hymenoptera" (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil, vi, 1866-67), in which this 
 family was reviewed, nothing has been done in the study of our 
 species, except those belonging to Nymon and allied genera, which 
 have been noticed in a pajwr published in the ninth volume of these 
 Transactions, 1882. 
 
 The genera are readily separated by the characters given below.

 The genera Gorytes and Hoplkus are closely allied, differing prin- 
 cipally in the neuration of the posterior wings ; of the twenty-five 
 species which have been described under the former genus, fourteen 
 are known to belong to Hoplisiis.

 bipuiidatiis Say, a siiiiill insect of unconnnon occurrence. 
 
 The genus Alyson, characterized by the subquadrate prothorax, 
 petiolate second submarginal cell and toothed posterior femora, con- 
 tains three species, generally rare in collections. 
 
 Of the remaining genera, Paranysson, which has two species from 
 Texas and the far Western States, differs chiefly by the serrate pos- 
 terior tibiae and form of the scutellum ; while Hyponysson, which 
 closely resembles Nysson, differing only by having two submarginal 
 cells instead of three, is represented by a single species of small size

 Family PHILANTHIDiE. 
 
 This interesting family contains some of the most beautiful species 
 in the whole tribe of fossorial hymenoptera, and is easily distinguished 
 by the following characters : prothorax very short, transverse, not 
 extending back to the tegulae ; anterior- wings with three complete 
 submarginal cells, of which the second and third each receive a re- 
 current nervure ; abdomen sessile or subsessile. 
 
 Our genera may be sej)arated in tlie follownig manner : 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Third submarijiual cell much narrowed towards the marginal, leaving a hroad 
 deeji sinus hetween them, the former never extending beyond the 
 latter; neuratiun of anterior wings always alike^ in both sexes. 
 ^■<j<;ond submarginal cell not petiolate : marginal cell generally narrowed and 
 pointed at aj)e.\, and extending lieyoiid the third .su))marginal cell; 
 bas^il segment of abdomen nearly or quite as broad at apex as the base 
 of second segment, and rarely constricted. 
 Eyes subemarginate within ; antennie inserted on the middle of the face not 
 far above the clyi)eus, net approximate; submedian cell of posterior 
 wings as long or longer than the median cell on the externo-medial 
 nervure ; 9 without an enclosi"'e tm the sixth dorsiil segment. 
 
 Pliilantliim Fabr.

 Second submarginal cell petiolnte; marginal cell more or less obtuse at apex 
 and rarely extending beyond the third submarginal cell ; basal seg- 
 ment of abdomen always narrower than the second ; all the segments 
 
 more or less constricted Cerceris Latr. 
 
 Third submarginal cell very large, subquad.ate, scarcely narrowed towards the 
 marginal cell and extending beyond it, and without a sinus between 
 them ; second submarginal cell triangular, sometimes petiolate in 9 '• 
 marginal cell obtusely truncate at apex ; fii-st abdominal segment nar- 
 rowed as in Cerceris; neuration of anterior wings generally dis.similar 
 in the .sexes Eucerceris Cress. 
 
 A monograph of this family was published in 1865 ( Proc. Ent. 
 
 Soc. Phil, v, pp. 85-132) and full descriptions given of the genera 
 
 and species then known to occur in our fauna. Mr. Patton has also 
 
 published interesting and valuable notes on some of the genera and 
 
 species, describing a new genus and several species (Proc. Bost. Soc. 
 
vomoKva — mimkbiu^e. ^]^ 
 
 Nat. Hi«t. 1M80, and Bull. U. S. Cm)l. Survey, 1«79). Dr. Packard, 
 in hl« " Revision" treats this t'aniily lus a subfamily, ^nvinjr the ehar- 
 acters in detail, tahulatinj; the species and descrihing one as new. 
 
 The genera are easily separated, the characters being well marked 
 and constant. All have numerous species, except Aphilunthopi, 
 which has but two. In Cerceris the clyi)eu8 of the 9 is often pro- 
 duced into various curious shajHJs, which serve lus convenient charac- 
 ters for separating the s{)ecies, while in the % it is never more than 
 convex, but with the lateral apical margin furnished (as n the other 
 genera), with a " moustache" or fringe of hairs, which sonn 'imes has 
 a waxed appearance. 
 
 The species of PhUnnthiis are said to prey up ii certain bees, es- 
 {)ecially the hive-bee, while Cerceris seems partial to diflerent species 
 of Curculionidse.

 These characters are those given by European authors, and are 
 ba-sed principally on neuration, which Dr. Packard, in his " Re- 
 vision," declares to be unreliable and to vary greatly in both genera ; 
 he says : " Mhnesn diifers from Pmn by its broader and shorter head, 
 longer body, much more clavate antennie, the much longer propo- 
 deum and abdomen, and the 9 tip is broad and flattened, where in 
 Pxen there is a Rnear, narrow groove." He gives the differential 
 characters at length, but they merge so imi)erceptibly that it is almost 
 impossible to tabulate them. The tw^o genera are, however, very 
 closely allied and the species look much alike.

120 GENERA OF HYMKNOITERA. 
 
 The peculiar neurntion of this beautiful genus will readily distin- 
 guish it from all others in the Division. Of the three sjHM-ies that 
 have Injen described jw occurring in our fauna, tdulomintiUx and rufi- 
 nodus apf>ear to be common where they occur and are handsome 
 insects ; the former has the abdomen entirely red, the first segmeru 
 not nodose at apex, while in the latter siK'cies the first segment only is 
 red, distinctly nodose at ajK'x and the renuiining s(>gments ornamented 
 with white ; biinacntutiiii apjKjars to be exceeilingly rare, anil has not 
 yet been seen by the writer.

 Posterior tibiie spinose or subserrate; labrum emarginate at tip. 
 
 Diodontus Curtis. 
 This family is composed of slender, shining black sj)ecies, mostly 
 small in size, the anterior wings with two submarginal cells, the fiii<t 
 being two or three times longer than the second, which is rectangular. 
 Spihmena and Stlgmus are remarkable for the unusually large 
 stigma and the absence of the third discoidal cell ; the marginal cell 
 is much narrowed to the apex, which is acutely pointed ; the alxlo- 
 men has a long slender petiole in StigiiiKS and subsessile in Spilotnenu. 
 The species are quite small, and only three have l)een described. 
 
 Cemonus and Pemphredon are very closely allied to each other, and 
 have been united by some authors. They differ chiefly in the neura- 
 tion of the anterior wings as indicated in the above table. The ab- 
 domen has a long, flattened petiole. Only one species in each genus 
 has been described.

 The single s|)ucie» is quite small in size. 
 
 Family CRABRONIDiE. 
 
 This family may be at onee distinguished by the neuraticm of the 
 anterior wings, which have oidy one submarginal and two discoidal 
 cells (except in Oxijbelm, where the submarginal and tii-st discoidal 
 cells are confluent) ; this easily recognized character varies but 
 slightly in the genera, and is different from any other family i>f this 
 series. The head is generally large, and nearly s(puire when viewed 
 from above, and sometimes broader than the thorax ; the dypeus is 
 short and broad, narrowed to a point at the sides, the eyes large and 
 prominent, and the antennte inserted close to the base of the clypeus ; 
 the abdomen varies much in form, from petiolate to sessile. 
 
 The following table will assist in separating the genera: 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Kyes (U^jply emarginate withiu ; alidoineii long, elavate; marginal cell long, 
 pointed at apex, nut appendiculate ; a second submarginal and a

 wings complete Trypoxylon Ija\.x. 
 
 Eyes not emarginate; marginal cell obtuse or truncate at apex, appendiculate: 
 neuration of posterior wings incomplete.

 Second discoidal cell long, narrow, obtusely pointed at apex, longer than 
 the first discoidal cell, which is irregular in shape, receiving the dis- 
 coidal nervure about one-third from the base, the.submarginal cell 
 receiving the recurrent nervure at about the middle ; abdomen ses- 
 sile, venter flat; form short, robust Anaerabro Pack. 
 
 Eyes hairy ; ^mandibles emarginate exteriorly. .EntomognalhuH Dahlb. 
 
 Submargiual cell confluent with the first di.scoidal cell, only sepai-ated from it 
 
 by a very indistinct nervure; postscutellum with a membranous 
 
 wing-like appendage on each side ; metathorax with a curved spine 
 
 near the base Oxybelus Latr. 
 
 The genus Trypoxyton is readily recognized by the renifonn eyes 
 and long clavate abdomen, and is the only genus in the family 
 where the neuration of the posterior wings is complete. The number 
 of described species is few, and not unconnnou. 
 
 Rhopalam has the abdomen petiolate, with the apex of the first 
 segment nodiform ; the species are of small size, and only two have 
 been described. 
 
 Crabro has numerous species, varying in size from moderately 
 large to quite small, and which have been divided into many sub- 
 genera, the characters founded chiefly on the armature of the legs ; 
 among these is Blepharipus, to which several North American species 
 have been referred ; these are all of sitiall size, with subpetiolate ab- 
 domen, and with a single exception, have the abdomen entirely black. 
 Thyreopns has generally been ranked among the subgenera, and 
 doubtless properly so, but it is placed in tlie table given above because 
 of easily recognized and tolerably constant characters. 
 
 Anaerabro is represented by a single small, robust s|Kicies, having 
 somewhat the a])pearance ot Oxybelm, and at once distinguished by 
 the linear form of the second discoidal cell. 
 
 Eniomognathus, distinguished by the hairy eyes, has, as far as 
 known, but a single representative in our fauna, and which occurs in 
 Texas. 
 
 Oxybelus is remarkable for the armature of the metathorax and 
 confluence of the submarginal and first discoidal cells. 
 
 The genera and species are described at length by Packard in his 
 " Revision" previously referred to. 
 
DIPLOPTKRYGA — MASARID^E. 123 
 
 DIPLOPTERYGA. 
 
 This series consists of the true wasps, and is characterized chiefly 
 by the wings being folded longitudinally in repose (more or less in- 
 distinctly so in the Masaridae ), in which res{)ect it differs from all the 
 other series, except in the Chalcid genus Leiicospis. The prothorax 
 is prolonged backwards to the base of the wings, the eyes are reni- 
 form and the legs are not formed for burrowing in the ground, being 
 free from spines and bristles. The solitary species consist of two 
 sexes, % and $ , and somewhat resemble the Fossores in their habits, 
 constructing their nests in sandy banks, in crevices of stone-walls, in 
 holes bored by other insects in wood, etc., using their powerful man- 
 dibles in excavating ; some genera, e. g. Eumena, construct mud- 
 nests, in the o})en air, on stems of weeds, or under leaves, or loose 
 bark of trees. On the other hand the social species consist of three 
 sexes, % , 9 and § , and are natural paper makers, constructing 
 their nests on trees, or in corners of building, or under the roofs of 
 outbuildings, although some species, e. g. Vespa vulgaris and ger- 
 manica, commonly known as " yellow-jackets," build their nests un- 
 derground, as most country boys know by painful experience. A 
 very interesting article on the habits of these insects, by the late B. 
 D. Walsh, will Ve found in the first volume of the " American En- 
 tomologist, ' pp. I08-I43. 
 
 The series is divisible into three families, in the following manner : 
 
 Table of Families. 
 
 Antennse clavate or knobbed at tip, the joints of the club generally soldered 
 together; scutellum large, narrowed and rounded posteriorly, super- 
 posed upon the postscutellura ; anterior wings indistinctly folded in re- 
 pose ; solitarj'. sexes % 9 MASARID^. 
 
 Antennae filiform or subfiliforra ; scutellum transverse, truncate posteriorly, not 
 superposed upon the postscutellum ; anterior wings distinctly folded in 
 repose.

 sexes % 9 EUMENID.Si. 
 
 Intermediate tibife with two spurs at apex; tarsal claws simple; social, sexes 
 % 9 5 VESPID^. 
 
 Family MASARIDiE. 
 
 This small, but beautiful family is at once recognized by the clavate 
 or knobbed anteimte, long in the males of Mamrii, and short in the 
 females and in both sexes of Euparagia ; the single species of the 
 
124 OENERA OF HYMENOPTERA. 
 
 latter genus, found in Nevada and California, is quite small in com- 
 parison with the generally large, fine species of Mnsarls, of which 
 seven have been described from Texas, Colorado and California. 
 The geographical distribution of the s{)ecies of this genus is remark- 
 able, the only other two representatives known being found in North 
 Africa. Nothing is as yet known regarding their habits. 
 
 The following characters will sufficiently separate the genera : 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Anterior wings with two complete submarginal cells, the second subniarginal re- 
 ceiving both recurrent nervures ; antennse * f % long and knobbed at tip, 
 that of 9 short and clavate Masaris Fabr. 
 
 Anterior wings with three complete subniarginal cells, the second and third snb- 
 margiuals each receiving a recurrent nervure ; antennae rather short and 
 clavate in both sexes Euparagia Cress. 
 
 Family EUMENID^. 
 
 In this family, comprising the Solitary Wasps, the antenna? are 
 filiform or nearly so, and often terminated by a hook in the % ; the 
 intermediate tibiie have but one apical spur and the tarsal claws are 
 unidentate. The genera with sessile or subsessile abdomen are closely 
 allied, the only charactei-s, so far discovered, by which they can be 
 separated, are those found in the structure of the mouth-parts, which 
 unfortunately are oft,en concealed ; there are, however, certain su|)er- 
 ficiul differences of form and facies, impossible to describe intelli- 
 gently, but which enable a practiced eye to distinguish the genera 
 without recourse to an examination of the tro])hi. 
 
 The genera and s|)ecies of this family, including also the iVIa-Jarida;, 
 have been elaborately monographed by Dr. de Saussure, in his ad- 
 mirable *' Synopsis of American Wasps," ])ublished in 1875 by the 
 Smithsonian Institution, and which will be found to be indis[)ensil)le 
 to those desiring to study this interesting and beautiful group of in- 
 sects. 
 
 The following table is about the best that can be offered at present 
 for the sejmration of the genera : '

 Fii-st abdominal segment above without a transverse carina near the 
 
 base Subgen. Odynerus Sau.ss. 
 
 Labial palpi long and slender, 3-joiuted, the second and third joints 
 strongly compressed and bipectinate, fringed with long hairs. 
 
 Pterochilus Klug. 
 Of the above genera Zethus and Eumenes, which have petiolate 
 abdomen, are easily separated by the form of the head. The former 
 genus, so abundant in species in tropical and subtropical America, 
 has but one representative in our fauna. In the list six sj)ecies are 
 referred to Emnenes, one of which, jV«/erna, is widely distributed and 
 common ; it constructs a spherical nest of fine yellowish clay, which 
 may often be found adhering to leaves, small twigs, or fastened 
 against walls ; within this little s])here, the insect places an egg to- 
 gether with a provision of caterpillars tor the nourishment of the 
 larva, and then seals it up. 
 
 Of Moiiobia we have two species, one of which, qiiadridens, is com- 
 mon in most of the States east of the Mississippi. Nortonia is re{> 
 resented by one species, of rather rare occurrence, and found in the 
 .Vtlantic States from Connecticut to Florida. 
 
 Odipierux has numerous species, widely distributed over the coun- 
 try ; they are divisible into several subgenera, the characters of which 
 are given in the above table ; many of the species are ornate with 
 gay colors, and make a very pretty collection. 
 
 Pterovhilm, which is characteri7,ed by the long, slender labial palpi 
 fringed with long hairs, is representetl by ten species, all from tlie far 
 Western States ; they are gaily colored, handsojue insects, of medium 
 to large size, and generally rare. 
 
126 GENERA OF HYMENOPTERA. 
 
 Family VESPID^. 
 
 This family comprise the Social Wasps, commonly known as 
 "Hornets" and "Yellow-jackets," and is easily separated from the 
 preceding by the two-spurred intermediate tibiae, and simple tarsal 
 claws. They are all ])aper-makers, not out of rags, but out of wood, 
 and according to Walsh, " alighting upon some wooden surface ex- 
 posed to the weather, they gnaw off with their strong jaws the minute 
 filaments of wood, which have become partly detached by the action 
 of the elements, and chew them up into a fine pulj), which they after- 
 wards spread out into thin sheets of strong, gray, weather-proof paper 
 that fi)rm the material of their nests," which are found generally sus- 
 pended from the branches of trees, and sometimes in the corners of 
 outbuildings. Some species, e. g. the " Yellow-jackets," as previously 
 noticed, build their nests underground and presumably much on the 
 same principle as those built above ground. The species of Polides, 
 which differ by the more slender form, longer metathorax and sub- 
 sessile or subpetiolate abdomen, build combs or a series of paper cells 
 in various sheltered places, principally on the roof-timbers of barns 
 and other outbuildings, but always without an envelope or covering, 
 as is used by most of the species of Vespa. There do not appear to 
 be any well-marked distinguishing characters between the females 
 and workers of Polides, and probably also of Polyhia, which diflers 
 only in the form of the abdomen. 
 
 The characteristics of the genera belonging to this family are as 
 follows : 
 
 Table of Genera. 
 
 Abdoiiicn sessile, broad and truncate at base ; metathorax very short and trun- 
 cate; the basal nervure joins the subcostal nervure some distance before 
 the stigma Vespa Linn. 
 
 Abdomen subsessile or subpetiolate, long, fusiform ; metathorax as long as broad, 
 oblique above : the basal n§rvurc joins the subcostal nervure at base of the 
 stigma Polistes Latr. 
 
 Abdomen petiolate, short and ovate beyond the first segment ; metathorax and 
 neuration much as in Polistes Polybia St. Farg. 
 
 Our species of this family are in much confusion, and need a thor- 
 ough revision. The species of Polistes are exceedingly variable, and 
 there is no doubt that a careful study of a large collection of speci- 
 mens will result in a marked reduction of the number of species. 
 
 Polybia has but a single representative in our fauna, fiavitarsis 
 Sauss., quite a common insect in California. . 
 
ANTHOPHILA. 127 
 
 Of Vespa, the black and white species, maeulata, is the most com- 
 mon, building large nests on trees, etc., while germanica and vulgaris, 
 black and yellow species, also abundant, build underground. 
 
 ANTHOPHILA 
 
 This extensive series, containing the interesting family of Bees, is 
 (characterized chiefly by having the basal joint of the posterior tarsi 
 more or less dilated, flattened, generally hirsute and furnished with 
 apparatus for collecting and conveying pollen, except in the parasitic 
 species, in which this joint is narrower, simple and destitute of pol- 
 liniferous organs. 
 
 Mr. E. Saunders, in his Synopsis of the British Bees (Trans. Ent. 
 Soc. London, 1883—84 has), found the only satisfactory structural 
 character primarily dividing the Anthophila from the rest of the 
 Aculeata, to be the form of the hairs of the body, which he says are 
 always more or less branched or plumose, at least those of the thorax, 
 while in the other series the hairs are simple or at most twisted, never 
 branched or plumose. This character, which may be a very excel- 
 lent one, has not been adopted in this synopsis because it is in many 
 cases microscopic, and hence difficult to observe. 
 
 The classification of the Anthophila depends considerably upon 
 the variations in the structure of the mouth-parts, which are highly 
 organized (and are admirably described and figured by Prof. West- 
 wood in his " Modern Classification," vol. ii, pp. 256-57), hence the 
 characters adopted for the separation of the two families, into which 
 the series is divisible, are in the toniparative length of the labium 
 and mentum, as given in the table of families, and for convenience 
 rejieated here : 
 
 Labium flattened, shorter than the mentum ; basal joints of the labial palpi not 
 unlike the following joints. ANDRENID.ffi. 
 
 Labium slender, not flattened, longer than the mentum ; basal joints of the labial 
 palpi elongate APID^ffi. 
 
 In the Andrenida; the sjiecies are all solitary, each consisting only 
 of males and fenuiles ; while in the Apidae, the species belonging to the 
 genera Bovibm and Apis are social, and consist of males, females and

 workers. By some systematists the latter family is restricted to the 
 social species only. 
 
 In the larva state all the species feed on |>ollen or honey stored up 
 by the parent, the parasitic species, cuckoo-like, consuming the food 
 provided for the legitimate inhabitant of the nest. 
 
 In tabulating the genera belonging to this series use has been made 
 of external characters when possible, simply because they are more 
 easily seen, and although the arrangement is far from being a natural 
 one, a« will be observed by the way in which the genera of the two 
 families are intermixed in the tables, yet it will be found a nmch 
 easier mode of identification than if the more natural, though often 
 invisible characters, founded upon the modification of the mouth 
 parts, were used. These latter are generally retracted and hidden 
 in cabinet specimens, and unhess drawn out and arranged before be- 
 coming dried, are troublesome to get at, and moreover cannot be dis- 
 tinctly seen without the aid of a lens of more than ordinary power. 
 
 From the fact that the characters separating the two families of 
 this series are taken from the form of the tongue, and that no exter- 
 nal characters have been found that will distinguish them, the genera 
 belonging to both must necessarily intermix in the following table :

 The genera characterized above may be arranged as in the list 
 given further on. . 
 
 Both families need a thorough revision ; the Andrenidre are in 
 utter confusion, a large majority of the species being undescribed. 
 
 Prof. Westwood divides the Andrenidse into two divisions, based 
 on the structure of the labium, viz. : the obtiisilingues, in which the 
 central portion of the labium is obtuse, being either transverse or 
 cordate and very short, containing the genera CoUetes and Prosopis ; 
 and the acutilingues, in which the central portion of the labium is 
 acute or lance-shaped, and containing the remaining genera of the 
 family. 
 
 The species of CoUetes have hairy, often fasciate bodies, and are 
 easily distinguished from all other bees by the second recurrent ner- 
 vure being strongly curved outwardly towards the apex of the wing ; 
 while in Prnsojm the body is coal-black and naked, and consequently 
 destitute of apparatus for collecting and carrying j)ollen ; in some of 
 the species of this genus the sca|)e or the basal joint of the % an- 
 tennfe is broadly dilated or Aleld-like. 
 
 In Halictiis and Andrena the species are very numerous, some of 
 those of the former genus being among the smallest of our bees. 
 Unfortunately they have not been studied, and are therefore mostlv 
 unnamed. The species of both genera, like those of Pollster, etc., 
 
134 • UKNERA OF ilYMENOPTERA. 
 
 are subject to tlie attacks of Sti/tofm, a curiouf* little {'oleopterourt para- 
 site, the fl'iiiaU'H of which are apterous, jjjrub-like insects which never 
 leave the bodies of the bees, and whose presence is known by the 
 protrusion of her head between the upper se;;rnents of the abdomen. 
 
 Sphfcoden is easily recognized by the smooth, jM)lished abdomen, 
 which is ^fenerally of a red color. Some authors have j)laced this 
 genus among the panusites, but the late Frederick Smith, who made 
 the study of the Anthophila a specialty, says that the result of his 
 observations has led to the conclusion that no species of the An- 
 drenidie is parasitic. 
 
 The sjHJcies of Augochlora and Agapodemon are the most brilliant 
 of our bees, being colored with metallic blue and greei;. 
 
 The genera Nomla and Eunomia are very closely allied, and are 
 remarkable for the curious manner in which the legs of the nniles 
 are dilated, curved and spined. 
 
 The sjjecies belonging to the Apidse have been recently catalogued 
 in a paper on that family published in the seventh volume of these 
 Transactions, but with the study of a large amount of material, the 
 number of species will doubtless be much reduced, and some be more 
 properly referred to genera not yet characterized or recognizeil as 
 inhabiting our fauna. 
 
 The genera Panurgiis, CalUopsls and Perd ita, }iaye been made the 
 receptacle for a number of species which do not properly belong to 
 either of those genera, and have been placed there provisionally 
 until more abundant material can be obtained, when a more careful 
 study may be made of their characters. 
 
 The species belonging to Nomada have been called " Wasp-bees" 
 on account of their close resemblance in their gay coloring to the 
 smaller wasps. The genus is represented in our fauna by a large 
 number of species, over sixty, which, however, show great variation 
 in coloring and markings; the ajiex of the abdomen is truncate in 
 the 9 and acute in the % . They are parasitic on the species of 
 Halietus and Andreiui. 
 
 The genus Epeolm is easily recognized by the cinereous or yellow- 
 ish bands of depressed pubescence on the abdomen, the apex of which 
 is acute in the % and obtuse in the 9 ; they are said to be parasitic 
 on the species of Colletes. 
 
 Ericrocis is a new genus formed for the reception of Crocimf lata 
 Cress., a short, broad, Epeoliis-like species from Texas. 
 
ANTHOPHILA. 186 
 
 Melecia is said to be the parasite of Aiifhophorn, and is allied to 
 Epeolitu, which our .s|)«.>cies reseinhle in general turiii and in the orna- 
 mentation of the abdomen, but the maxillary palpi have live joints. 
 
 Some of the sjKJcies of Sfeliji closely resemble those of Anthidium ; 
 the 9 , however, is without a ventral scopa. 
 
 The genus Oelioxi/M is the parasite of Meyachile, and is rea<lily 
 known by the conical abdomen, which is pointcnl at tip in the 9 iind 
 more or less sp'ine<l in the % . The females have good specitic char- 
 acters, while the males are difficult to separate. 
 
 The species of OxmUi are generally of a bluish or greenish color, 
 having a short robust form, which is more or less hairy, the abdomen 
 subglobose, that of the 9 having a ventral scopa. In their economy 
 the 8i)ecies of this genus are said to be very diverse, some burrow in 
 earth, some in wood, while others nidificate in the shell of snails, etc. 
 
 The genus Anthidium contains some very handsome insects, and 
 about thirty-five s|)ecies are given in the list ; the % abdomen is in- 
 curved at a])ex, which is often spined, and that of the 9 is furnished 
 with a ventral brush. 
 
 The bees included in the genus Megachile are popularly known as 
 " Leaf-cutters," from their habit of cutting off pieces of leaves for the 
 purpose of forming cells in which to store up food for their larvJB. 
 The males present broad distinctive specific differences, chiefly in 
 the form of the antennae and anterior legs, while those of the females 
 are difficult to detect. The number of our described sjjecies is great, 
 which, however, will doubtless be largely reduced when more care- 
 fully studied with abundant material at hand. 
 
 Ceratina contains some pretty little blue-green naked species, whose 
 habit is to excavate the pith from brambles, briars, etc., and supply 
 their larvse \vith a deposit of semi-fluid honey, they being destitute 
 of pollinigerous appendages. We have four described species, one 
 of which, dupla Say, is of common occurrence, and is said to exca- 
 vate the pith of the Mullein. 
 
 Of Eiicera only one species has been described as inhabiting our 
 fauna, and which has not yet been identified by the compiler. The 
 anterior wings have but two submarginal cells, and the % antennae 
 are ps long as the entire body, filiform, with the joints arcuate and 
 reticulate. 
 
 The genera Melissodes, Xenoglossa and SytiJudoiiia are closely allied, 
 having the % antennae conspicuously longer than that of the 9 , but 
 differing in the number of the joints of the maxillary palpi. These

 genera, together with Emphor, Enteehnia, Habropoda, Anthophora 
 and Clisodon, have been made the subject of an interesting paper by 
 Mr. Patton, entitled, " Generic Arrangement of the Bees allied to 
 Mel'imodes and Anthophora (Bull. v. U. 8. Geo. Surv. 1879)," in which 
 the characters are given at length. 
 
 The genus Xylocopa, commonly known as "Carpenter Bees," from 
 their habit of boring tunnels in posts, rails, etc., in which to nidificate, 
 contain some of the largest species of the family. 
 
 The genera Bombus and Apis are too well known to need any ref- 
 erence here to their structural characters. They differ from all other 
 bees in their social habits, being composed of males, females and 
 workers. The species of Bomhus, or " humble-bees" construct their 
 nests generally under ground in meadows, pastures, etc., and form 
 societies of more or less extent ; their union, however, lasts only until 
 the cold weather destroys all but a few impregnated females, who 
 survive to found fresh colonies the following spring. 
 
 Apathm is a parasitic genus of bees which inhabit the nests of the 
 Bombi. " What office," says Smith, " these bees perform in the 
 economy of the nest has not been discovered ; they live on the most 
 friendly terms with the industrious part of the community, and it is 
 probable that upon them devolves some important office, the nature 
 of which it would be very interesting to discover." The genus dif- 
 fers from Bombiis principally in the absence of the corbicula on the 
 posterior legs of the 9 » the tibia? in both sexes being outwardly con- 
 vex and denselv clothed with short hairs. 
 
 The genus Apis contains the common "Hive-Bee," mellifica, which 
 is cosiiV politan, lud upon which volumes have been written, yet 
 many intere-/ing ^l ints in their economy still remain undetermined. 
 " We can scarcely estimate," says Smith " the value the products of 
 the hive must hare been to man in ancient times ; but when we re- 
 member that honey must have formed the staple commodity which 
 our forefathers applied to all the uses for which sugar is now sub- 
 stituted, and at the same time recollect even the present value of the 
 wax, we shall arrive at a considerable estimate of the benefits de- 
 rived from the^e industrious insects."

 sertion in its proper place in the Synopsis. It belongs to the Subfamily Encyr- 
 tinse. and is closely allied to Homafotyliis (p. 69), but differs chiefly as follows : 
 The pedicel of the antennse is much hmgcr than the fii-st funicle joint; the inner 
 margins of tlie eyes are nearly parallel ; the stigma' vein of anterior wings bends 
 abruptly downward, forming at first a right angle with the submarginal and 
 afterwards curving slightly outwards; the postmarginal vein is absent, and the 
 large mesopleura is covered with a number of longitudinal ridges. Male not 
 known.

 * The genera Mesoleptua and Tryphon have been made the receptacle of very 
 discordant material, and most of the species enumerated in this list unde hose 
 genera seem more properly to belong to the intermediate gcuas Mesoleiua ; but 
 88 this cannot be definitely ascertained without a careful study and revision of 
 the species, and with more abundant material, they are in most cases permitted 
 to remain in the genera in which they were originally described. The genus 
 Cryptocentrus W^alsh (= Cryptocentrum Kirby ?), of which Tryphon f atibmarginatiis 
 Cress., is made the type, seems scarcely distinct from Mesohins.

 descriptions of a number of new species belonging to this family, were received 
 just in time to add them here. It is worthy of notice, that in the subfamily 
 Platygasterinas all the genera characterized in the Synopsis (ante p. 84), except 
 Iphitrachelus, have been recognized by Mr. Ashmead as occurring in our fauna.
