In the Canadian Entomologist for March, 1899, page 70, Mr. 

 Nathan Banks describes a new species of Brachynemurus under the name 

 tuberculaius. The specimen used in drawing up the description was a 

 female, and as I find a male of this species in the National Museum 

 collection, a description of it is given here : 



Brachynemurus tuberculaius, Banks. 



Male. — Length, 21.5 mm.; expanse of wings, t,t, mm.; greatest width 

 of anterior wing, 3.6 mm.; length of antennre, 4 mm. Much smaller and 

 more slender than the female. 



Antennte longer and less clavate. The form of head and thorax is 

 similar to that of the female and the markings are similar. 



Abdomen pale luteous, clothed with white and black hairs ; an 

 interrupted longitudinal fuscous line on the dorsum, and a broader, less 

 clearly defined stripe each side ; segments of apical third of abdomen 

 almost entirely fuscous. 



Appendages similar in form and proportionately as long as those of 

 B. Sackeni; black, clothed with long black and white hairs ; each append- 

 age armed, interiorly, with about a dozen strong, blunt, black spines. 



Wings smaller, more slender, and less heavily marked than in the 

 female. 



Type. — No. 4328, U. S. National Museum. Collected in Madera 

 Canyon, Santa Rita Mts., Arizona, June 8, 1898, by Mr. E. A. Schwarz. 



Two more specimens of this species, females, were collected at the 

 same locality by Mr. Schwarz on June 8 and 14, respectively.

 black and white hairs, especially on the abdomen.

 antennae, piceous, sending a median line and one on each side down to 

 the clypeus. Circumocular area luteous, a {'i.w fuscous spots posteriorly.
