54 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [1898. 



I am surprised to find, on re examining the specimens, that the 

 species found by Prof. Wooton on Ruidoso Creek in New Mexico, 

 and recorded by me (An. Mag. Nat. Hist., Jan., 1897, p. 49) as 

 aestivalis, is in reality C. kincaidii. 



Habropoda floridana (Smith) var. n. pascoensis. 



9 . — Length about 16 mm., differs from Smith's description in that 

 the pubescence of the head is pale, mixed, however with black on 

 the face and vertex, the wings are little darkened, and the pubes- 

 cence at the sides of the end of the abdomen is shining white. The 

 pubescence of the thorax and of the first abdominal segment is very 

 bright orange fulvous, not at all mixed with black. The short 

 pubescence immediately surrounding the pygidial plate is black. 

 Tegulre black. Pubescence of legs black ; that on inner side of 

 front tarsi orange-rufous, the brushes at the ends of the segments 

 tipped with brilliant coppery-red. Hair on lower part of pleura 

 black. 



Hub.— Pasco, Wash., May 25, 1896, (T. Kincaid). It is just pos- 

 sible that this is the unknown 9 of H. morrisoni Cresson. It has a 

 superficial resemblance to Podalirius ursinus. 



Podalirius crotchii (Cresson). 



$ . — From Pasco, Wash., May 25, 1896 (T. Kincaid) agrees with 

 Cresson's description. Hitherto the species has only been reported 

 from California. The pubescence on the hind tarsi within is brilliant 

 fulvous. 



Podalirius syringse n. sp. 



$ . — Length about 12 mm., black, pubescence long and erect, not 

 very dense, mouse-color; strongly mixed with black on hind two- 

 thirds of mesothorax, and anterior margin of scutellum ; black also 

 on vertex and upper part of cheeks, mixed with black on front and 

 more or less on sides of face ; pubescence of abdomen long, thin and 

 pale at base of first and sides of first-three segments, dorsally from 

 the third segment onward scanty and black, some pale hairs at the 

 extreme apex ; no hair-bauds. Clypeus except the black anterior 

 edge, a supraclypeal band, irregularly v shaped lateral marks, and 

 labrum except the anterior margin and upper lateral corners, all 

 lemon-yellow. Mandibles and the quite long antennae wholly black. 

 Mesothorax dull, with numerous shallow punctures, two small im- 

 punctate central areas. Metathorax shining. Legs slender, ante- 

 rior and middle trochanters, and upper half of anterior femora be-
