284 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



Phoenix, April 18 to September 6 (Kunze : 2 J^, 5 ??)> 

 Wickenburg, May 18 (Kunze: i ^). 



Type. No. 6889, U. S. National Museum. 



This species has the wing markings of B. carrizonus and in 

 the markings of head and thorax suggests B. ferox. 



Brachynemurus singularis, n. sp. 



$. Very similar to B. quadripunctatus but more slender and with the 

 following differences : inter-antennal mark not divided by a transverse lute- 

 ous stripe between the antennae but with a small luteous spot in place of 

 it. Vertex with two transverse stripes in front which are broadly inter 

 rupted in the middle; an indication of the posterior row of four dots, but 

 only the middle pair are plain. Thoracic markings similar but with two 

 widely separated dots on hind margin of posterior mesothoracic lobe. 

 Appendages like those of B. carrizonus. 



Length 34, alar expanse 46.6, greatest width of anterior wing 5.5 mm., 

 antenna (lacking). 



Phccnix, October 28 (Kunze: i tf). 



Type. No. 6890, U. S. National Museum. 



It was for a long time a problem where to place this specimen. 

 The identity of the appendages with those of B. carrizonus nat 

 urally suggested that it might be a variety of that species. But 

 the great differences in the markings and the many resemblances 

 to B. quadripunctatus seemed to forbid this solution of the dif 

 ficulty, and it appears more logical to consider it distinct from 

 either species.
