Broad and stout, dark colored or black with paler markings. Abdomen ferruginous except at the base and apex. Dorsum of thorax indistinctly pale around the edges.

Thorax as wide as long, and not quite so wide as the oval abdomen, which is twice as long as wide. Wings indistinctly infuscated towards the base, the veins brown. Anal cell lanceolate, petiolate, as wide at its broadest part as three-fourths of the length. Fig. 4. — Scolioneura vexabilis Brues. Fore-wing. of the transverse median nervure. Marginal cell long and narrow, pointed at apex ; apparently not divided by a nervure. First submarginal cell small, more or less rounded at its base ; second and third long, each receiving a recurrent nervure; basal vein and first recurrent nervure widely divergent behind. Type. — No. 2039, Mus. Comp. Zool., Florissant, Col. (No. 1520, S. H. Scudder Coll.). This species might perhaps be excluded from Scolioneura, as I cannot make out any cross-vein in the marginal cell. I can find no other suitable place, however, and think that it may best be left here. The hind wings are not well enough pre- served to show their venation, but the front ones are in good condition, with the exception of a part of the apical portion. Selandria Leach. Brischke ('86) mentions the occurrence of a single specimen belonging to Selandria in Baltic amber. Curtis ('29) compares a form from the lower Oligo- cene at Aix with Selandria fuliginosa, but the latter is evidently the Tenthredo fuliginosa now placed in Tomostethus Konow. Eriocampa Hartig. Cockerell ( : 06) has described Eriocampa wheeleri from Florissant, and there is a second species to be added from the Scudder collection. The two may be separated as follows: S
