most imperceptible, wing cloudings, and may possibly be a 

 faded hubbardii. The three specimens from Prescott are unusu 

 ally dark and are heavily marked. 

 Brachynemurus pusillus Currie. 



Fort Grant, July 12 and 23 (Hubbard : 2 99); Madera 

 Canyon, Santa Rita Mountains, June 14 (Schwarz : i rP). 

 Brachynemurus pallidus Banks. 



Phoenix, September 19 to October 12 (Kunze : 999); Pres 

 cott, June 27 (Oslar: i e?). 



As the c? of this species has never before been found, I give 

 here a description of Oslar's specimen: 



$. More slender than the 9? yellowish, the markings dark fuscous 

 instead of brownish, and more extended.* Antennae less clavate. Vertex 

 with two transverse piceous stripes, the rear one interrupted at the m id- 

 die, t Prothorax with a pair of longitudinal, submedian dorsal lines, in 

 terrupted behind the transverse furrow and resumed in front of it. Each 

 of these lines, at base, is connected with the lateral stripe on the same 

 side.J Meso- and melathorax plainly marked ; anterior lobe of mesonotum 

 with two dark spots in front and two behind; lateral lobes fuscous ante 

 riorly and externally and with a spot near mid dorsal line; posterior lobe 

 with two spots in front and one at middle of hind margin ; posterior angles 

 each with two longitudinal lines. Metathorax bordered with fuscous on 

 sides, an X-shaped mark in the middle, a spot on each lateral lobe and a 

 median line from front to rear on posterior lobe. Abdomen longer than 

 the wings. Appendages longer than the last abdominal segment, slender, 

 cylindrical, yellowish, clothed with coarse dark hairs or bristles, the tips 

 curved inwards. Legs with a fine, dark, interrupted ring before middle 

 of tibiae. Tibial spurs as long as first tarsal joint. Wings more slender 

 than those of the 9- 



Length 21, alar expanse 35, greatest width of anterior wing 4, antennae, 

 4.3 mm. 



Brachynemurus minusculus Banks. 



Winslow, July 31 (Barber and Schwarz : i ^}. 



This specimen differs somewhat from the type and from other 

 examples I have examined. It is paler, the apical joint of maxil- 



*It is of course possible that 9 9 from Hot Springs, the locality from 

 which this $ was taken, may turn out to be like the latter in respect to ; 

 color and extent of markings. 



f The anterior stripe is present in all specimens I have seen, though not' 

 mentioned in Mr. Banks' description. It is sometimes interrupted in the 

 middle. The two dots he speaks of (Ent. News, x, No. 6, p. 171, June, 

 1899), are the remnants of the interrupted posterior stripe. 



% The longitudinal submedian lines are present basally in some 99> 

 though very short. 



Sometimes apparent in the 9 9 also.
