ANTEON J urine. Anteon flaviscapus, new species. Male. — Black; mandibles, except tips, pale yellowish; antennae dark brown, the scape yellow; legs, including coxae, yellow, hind femora and tibiae and all tarsi apically slightly dusky. Head, viewed from above, about one and one-half times as wide as long, viewed from in front, a little more than one and one-third times as wide as long; front margin slightly convex, hind margin separated from occiput by a fine carina; vertex with a shallow, transverse depression in front of anterior ocellus, without a carina as in A. hirtijrons n. sp.; with very shallow punctures and scattered white hairs; frons more densely hairy; temples and cheeks smooth, separated from eyes and occiput by fine carinae and with a carina running from base of mandibles to eyes. Eyes and ocelli large, the latter in a triangle; lateral ocelli as far apart as from the occiput and considerably further than this from the eyes. Antennae longer than head and thorax combined, clothed with erect pubescence; scape slightly wider than the flagellum, two and one-half times as long as wi 'e; pedicel two-thirds as long as scape; joints 3, 8 and 9 equal, about one and one-half times as long as pedicel; joints 4-7 equal, very slightly longer than joint 3, three times as long as wide; apical joint the longest, as long as scape. Thorax smooth and shining; pronotum short, mesonotum with very shallow, indistinct punctures; notauli reaching to about the middle of mesonotum, a fine carina running from the humeral angles to base of scutellum which is separated from the mesonotum and metanotum by deep, punctate foveae, Propodeum coarsely rugose. Wings hyaline, with fine brown pubescence, nervures and stigma brown, the latter basally white; radius about as long as stigma, straight, ob-tusely angled about two-thirds its length from the base. Abdomen smooth and polished. Length, 1.5-1.8 mm. Expanse, 3.5-4.0 mm. Described from eight specimens: six from Holly burn, British Columbia (Type loc), 7-18 June, 1928; one from Chilliwack,
