Two Pennsylvania females, from Fern Rock, May 17, 1903,
and Ogontz, May 28 (H. L. Viereck), have antennal joint 3=5
and three-fourths or more as long as 4, and the enclosure sub
uniformly roughened. By these characters they are certainly N.
luteoloides, but the yellow propodeal marks encroach on the en
closure, as described for N. luteola. It thus agrees with the
characters of N. luteola bishoppi Ckll. 2, but I would emphasize
the antennal structure over the extent of the yellow propodeal
marks, and consider bishoppi a subspecies of lutcoloides.

♀- Third joint of antennae shorter than fourth,
the latter only a little longer than fifth, enclosure of metathorax rather strongly
rugose throughout, spot on each side hardly subquadrate and not encroaching on
enclosure.
♂- Antennae submoniliform, joints 7-10 each with an evident denticle beneath
near apex, third joint shorter than fourth, but not greatly so, insect black, with
yellow ornaments.
