SYNOPSIS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF AMMOPHlLA. BY A. L. MELANDER, CHICAGO, JLL.
Recently through the kindness of the authorities of the Academy of natural sciences of Philadelphia I had the opportunity of studying the types of AMMOPHILA contained in their collection. A synopsis of the species was arranged in tabular form with the intention of further work on the group. As this plan cannot, now be carried out it seems advisable to publish the notes made while in Philadelphia for the assistance of any who wish to study this interesting genus. In the original table have been interpolated the additional North American species not contained at the Philadelphia academy, their places having been determined from the descrip- tions alone. Owing to the incomplete diagnoses of some authors a number of these species have been placed out of their natural order, ancl hence the table is in part more artificial than is to be desired; but in the main a natural relationship is expressed.
It is strange that the study of such large, common, ancl intelligent insects should have been so long neglected. Possibly this is due to the uncertainty in the determination of the species, of the older authors and to the confusion existing between the homonymous but different species of Dahlbo~n and Lepelctier. But as in the northeastern part of the United States the species are not numerous the student of at least that section sl~ould experience but little trouble in naming his captures. For example, some two hundred specimens collected by myself in central and southern Texas, Illinois, and New England yield only three PSAMMOPHILAS, nine AMMOPIIILAS and the one COLOPTERA, thirteen species, of which ten are found in the Northeastern States.
In order of abundance of individuals these species are : frocera, ?I&-ricans, uw~aria, vwlaceipennis, extremiiata, i9iepta (Tex.), abbreuiafti, 1'uJgaris, grossa (Tex.), ~~C~LOSIZ, yrac///s3 7tlrighiii ('rex.), and an unclescribed species from Illinois.
It will he noticed that most of these are the species of the older authors.
On account of thc brevity of their descriptions the determination of these can best be accomplished by eliminating the other species found in the type locality, By this method, and as they seem to be the most abundant forms, the older species can be readily fixed. A careful redescription of them is desired from the next monographer.
A number of changes in nomenclature are instituted, whereby several well- known names are dropped as synonyms. The dubious violaceipennis is a common form of the United States, concerning'whose identity it is indeed strange that a doubt should ever have existed.
The Brazilian urnaria of Lepeletier is not the

same as Dahlbom's species; frocera Lep. is not prorera Dahlb., but is the other sex of his intercepts and both are synonyms of ti.igricans Dahlb.; bp-aci/is Cam. is not fi-adis Lep., while the Canadian form of same name seems to bc a third species.
With such well-known and long established names as cementaria, grjIphzds, fracem, rob&, mam, aaomala, etc., untenable, the future student will hesitate before describing new species. However the Mexican and Central American spe- cies of Peter Cameron seem valid and in little danger of confluence. The stumbling block or the earlier describers has often been the association of the sexes, since a distinct dimorphism often prevails. Generally the males are more slender, more hirsute, and more brilliantly marked than the females, and in those species with the abdomen partially red the males frequently have the black encroaching dorsally as a median line. Their clasping sexual organs and the narrow and straight-sided face are distinctive of this sex.
Of the species of the United States some difficulty might be experienced in differentiating between certain forms.
For this reason a few supplementary notes on the common species are added : -
vulgaris is a small species, about three fourths of an inch in length. The
mesonotum of the female generally has a deep median furrow. Thc striae of the metanotum are close together, oblique and well-cut, and are generally connected by a median line.
juncea is founded on a slender male with very fine transverse mctanotal striae. The central portion of the disc is sometimes confusedly punctate and slightly hairy. It is a larger form than valgaris.
sfrema is about one inch in length and has complete transverse striae on the metanotum not quite so well marked as in vulyaris but rougher than injuncea. The anterior striae tend to become oblique. The female has a short narrow impressed line on the mesonotum.
urnaria.
The obsolete striate arrangement of the punctures near the tegulae is quite characteristic and fairly constant in this species. The rather coarse striae of the metanotum are more or less oblique and frequently become rugulose on the disc as in juncea.
abbreviata is quite distinct among the local species by the acuminate clypeus of the male, the short pale golden macule of the inesopleurae, and the black abdomen.
nz'picans also has the abdomen mostly black but the pleurae are entirely black and the wings darkened.
extremitata is quite distinct by the yellowish wings. The thorax of the female is matte-black and the abdomen contains a brighter red than in the other common forms.

procera is the only local species with complete and coarse transverse striae on the noturn.
It is also the largest of our species, some specimens attaining nearly an inch and a half in length.
It is believed that the following table will give a truthful determination of the species of this group as they have been defined, and since the species necd no longer be confused it is hoped that an interest in their study may be aroused. Especially to be desired is the observation of the habits of these intelligent wasps, -a pleasant research,- for the
aininophiles are intellectually superior to the other fossorial Hymenoptera, as the entertaining records of Fabre, the Peckhams, Williston, and others have shown.
