BRUES: PARASITIC HYMENOPTKRA. 13 aected by an impressed arcuate line which bows forward nearly to the base of the scutellum. Postscutellum with a pair of median foveae basally, a pos- terior impressed line and an oblique impressed line. Metathorax short, smooth, with three longitudinal carinae, the median one not furcate. Abdo- men as long as the head and thorax together, rather slender; petiole one-third as long as the abdomen, longitudinally fluted. Second segment three times as long as the following together, less than one-half as broad as long and coarsely striated at its extreme base. Wings faintly infuscated; submarginal vein about one-half as long as the wing. Legs long and slender, clavate. One specimen, beautifully preserved, No. A52, collected at Station 13 by Prof. W. M. Wheeler. Type in the Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. In general appearance it is very much like a true Galesus. FIGITIDAE. The single species of this family in the present collection seems to be the first one discovered in the fossil state. Figites solus, sp. nov. (Fig. 6.) Male. Length mm. Probably entirely black, except metathorax, base of abdomen, and the legs which are rufous or dark reddish brown. An- tennae dark brown, 13-jointed, slender, the club very slightly thickened, two-jointed, its second joint shorter and narrower than the first. First flagellar joint long, fully twice as long as the second which is equal to the pedicel; following to the club about equal, ovate in form. Thorax seen in latero-dorsal view, enough of the dorsum being visible to show the presence of parapsidal furrows, and the probable absence of a cupuliform shape to the scutellum. Abdo- men subsessile, about as long as the head and thorax together, apparently not pubescent at the base, although this character may have been lost in the process of preserva- tion. Legs rather stout for this group. Wings hyaline, the ATeins pale brown
