1. GORYTES CONSTRICTUS. _G._ niger; clypei lateribus flavis; collari,
tuberculis postscutelloque flavis; segmentorum abdominis marginibus
apicalibus flavis constrictis, pedibusque flavo variegatis.

_Female._ Length 6 lines. Black; the head and thorax very closely
punctured and opake, the head slightly shining on the vertex; the
antennae beneath and the apical half of the mandibles ferruginous, the
latter black at their tips; the clypeus yellow at the sides, and
coarsely rugose in front. Thorax: the metathorax coarsely
longitudinally rugose, with cinereous pubescence at the sides; the
antennae and intermediate tibiae, the tarsi, and articulations of the legs
reddish-yellow; wings subhyaline, with a fuscous cloud in the marginal
cell, which passes beyond to the apex of the wings; the nervures
fusco-ferruginous; the tegulae ferruginous. Abdomen shining, covered with
a thin, fine, cinereous pile, and with the margins of the segments
constricted; the apical margins of the segments with narrow yellow
fasciae, that on the fourth abbreviated on each side, on the fifth it is
obsolete; beneath, the second segment is opake, finely punctured, and
pilose; the following segments smooth, shining, and with five scattered
punctures.

The _Male_ strongly resembles the female, but is smaller and less
variegated with yellow; the face covered with silvery down; the scape
