376 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



times brown; membrane faintly tinged with brown, vein of the basal 

 areole interruptedly brown. Length to end of abdomen, 4-4^ millim ; 

 to tip of membrane, 5-5^- millim; width of base of pronotum, 2 millim. 



This pretty insect stands between C. nebulosus and C.grandis. 

 It is variable in the amount and depth of dark marking of the 

 surface, and that depends to some extent upon the maturity and 

 vigor of the individual. Soft specimens are almost always paler 

 and less extensively marked than those which are firmer and 

 stronger. 



Several specimens, mostly males, were captured at American 

 Fork, June 22, 1891. I have examined others which were col 

 lected by Dr. Hagen near Ellenborough, on the Yakima river, 

 Washington Territory, July 8, 9, 1882 ; and others have been in 

 my possession which were brought from British Columbia by 

 Robert Kennicott, and from other parts of the northwest terri 

 tories of the United States by various persons.
