FEMALE—Length 8 mm.; lateral ocelli somewhat nearer margin of vertex than to each other; cheeks subequal to eyes in width, posterior margin subcarinate; shorter side of basal segment of flagellum fully equal to segment 2 which is only very slightly longer than broad, median segments fully as broad as long; mandibles slender and simple; wings hyaline basally, becoming lightly infuscated apically, with the usual three submarginal cells, 2nd and 3rd nearly equal in breadth anteriorly, veins testaceous to piceous, basal vein interstitial with or slightly basad of transverse median vein; tegulae shining between fine but quite deep, distinct and rather sparse punctures; posterior margin of scutellum quite deeply grooved medially; front coxae with short, triangular spines; apex of hind tibiae with a row of 5 or 6 elongate, piceous bristles; head and thorax preponderantly red, with black maculations, tubercles and tegulae somewhat more testaceous, legs reddish-testaceous, spurs pale yellow; face black around and between bases of antennae and ocelli, and along posterior margin of cheeks; prothorax laterally, mesothorax beneath, metapleura and adjacent area of propodeum, and a median band on scutum and posterior face of propodeum, black; abdomen red in general, basal tergum entirely so, terga 2 and 3 with widely separated, lateral, yellow maculations, 4 with a pair of transverse, submedian bands that are slightly separated medially, and 5 with a rectangular, subapical, yellow blotch; punctures coarse, close and deep on face above antennae and on vertex, somewhat finer on cheeks, very fine and close on supraclypeal area and clypeus, becoming somewhat more sparse and distinct on lateral areas of face below; scutum, scutellum and pleura coarsely rugosopunctate, the scutum somewhat more finely and densely so anteriorly; metapleura and propodeum in large part somewhat more finely and shallowly rugoso-punctate, triangle impunctate, becoming rather coarsely rugosostriate along upper margin; basal abdominal tergum shining, punctures exceedingly minute, hardly visible; terga 2-5 very finely but more distinctly punctate, punctures rather close and uniformly distributed, becoming somewhat more sparse and minute toward apical margins of each tergum, but only the narrow apical rims impunctate, these more or less yellowish-hyaline; punctures of tergum somewhat more distinct and very close basally, becoming coarser apically; pseudopygidium transverse, very short, forming the rather narrow, truncate, apical margin of tergum 5, densely covered with pale yellowish, suberect tomentum; pubescence short, rather thin, entirely pale, rather copious on head and thorax, becoming somewhat yellowish above, hardly evident on abdominal terga, but becoming more evident apically, sternum 5 with lateral tufts of elongate, curved, fuscous hairs on each side of mid-line apically.

MALE—Length 5.5-8 mm.; space between lateral ocelli and margin of vertex about half that separating the ocelli; cheeks only slightly narrower than eyes, posterior margin subcarinate; antennal scape considerably swollen, apex deeply excavated, completely enclosing pedicel, basal segment of flagellum very short, no longer anteriorly than the apical breadth, segment 2 slightly longer, median segments about as broad as long; mandibles slender and simple; wings largely hyaline, becoming slightly infuscated apically and in marginal cell, with the usual three submarginal cells, 2nd only slightly broader than 3rd anteriorly, veins testaceous, basal vein interstitial with or slightly basad of transverse median; tegulae somewhat shining between rather deep, distinct and close punctures; posterior margin of scutellum rather deeply grooved medially; front coxae with very short, triangular, posterior spines or tubercles; hind femora slender and simple; clypeus except upper margin, narrow lateral face marks, labrum and mandibles, bright yellow, the face marks extended very narrowly along margin of eye to level of antennae, head otherwise black; antennal scape narrowly yellowish-testaceous anteriorly, flagellum more reddish-testaceous beneath, somewhat darker above; thorax largely or entirely black, tubercles more or less yellowish-testaceous, tegulae yellowish-hyaline, front and mid legs testaceous, hind femora piceous but the tibiae and tarsi testaceous, spurs pale yellow; basal abdominal tergum largely piceous, but the slightly impressed, apical margin more ferruginous; terga 2 and S with widely separated, lateral, yellow maculae, 4 with very inconspicuous or vague maculations or none, 5 with a pair of small, sublateral maculations that are slightly separated medially, and 6 with a more median, entire maculation; abdominal sterna largely testaceous, margins more or less yellowish-hyaline; punctures coarse, deep and very close on face above antennae and on vertex, somewhat finer and very close on cheeks, very fine and close on face and clypeus below; scutum, scutellum and mesopleura quite coarsely and densely rugosopunctate, the metapleura and propodeum somewhat more shallowly but rather coarsely rugose, triangle impunctate but rather dull, upper margin becoming quite densely rugosostriate; basal abdominal tergum shining, punctures extremely minute, hardly visible but rather close; discs of terga 2-6 with very fine, slightly separated but rather uniform punctures, apical impressed areas becoming more minutely and sparsely punctate, rims very narrowly impunctate, these areas becoming yellowish-hyaline; pubescence entirely pale, rather copious over head and thorax, dense and subappressed on face below antennae, more elongate and erect above, quite dense and elongate on thorax laterally and beneath, very short and obscure on abdomen, the more apical sternal plates without conspicuous fringes, sternum 7 rather densely covered toward apex with rather short but erect whitish hairs; pygidial plate somewhat longer than basal width, rather strongly narrowed apically to the narrowly truncate apex, margins carinate, surface quite closely and rather coarsely rugoso-punctate; sternum 8 and genital armature much as in the macu1ata (fig. 98), but gonostyli more slender and less robust, narrowly rounded at tip.

DISTRIBUTION—Minnesota to Quebec and the New England states, south to Louisiana and North Carolina, March to August.

FLOWER RECORDS—Rubus and Salix. Recorded by Robertson (1929) also on Antennaria, Claytonia, Dentaria, Heracleum and Prunus.
