80 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The apex of the horn, which is not prominent, is always black, as 

 are also the apical segments, including about half of third segment. 



(^ . — Closely resembles ? in coloration. Scape and pedicel pale, 

 the latter short, first funicular joint fully twice as long ; second, third and 

 fourth shorter, remaining joints subequal with the first, except the terminal 

 joint, which is slightly longer and slenderer. 



Described from nine females and five males captured with the pre- 

 ceding species. They were taken by sweeping the grass around open 

 sandy patches, intermixed with some small, closely-cropped raspberry 

 bushes. Although apparently abundant on that occasion, I have not 

 since been able to obtain the species. 



This insect resembles a small Caloteleia Marlaiiii, Ashm., but the 

 head is always entirely black, and the antennse in both sexes are very 

 distinct from those of that species ; in the $ they are much more slender, 

 with the joints more elongate.
