abdomen distinctly pustulate and regularly arranged, four in a 

 row. Equidistant on each side of the row, close to the posterior 

 margin of the segment is an additional pustulate hair. On 

 the sixth segment there are only two central hairs, and on the 

 penultimate and last segments only the marginal hairs are pus- 

 tulate. This variety is somewhat larger than the typical form 

 (males 1.90 mm.). One male and one female from Pipilio 

 connani, Socorro Island; two specimens from Conurns holo- 

 chloms, Socorro Island.

 bands of the former will at once distinguish it.
