scribed. Dr. E. C. Van Dyke very kindly turned over to 

 me for study the specimens of this genus in his collection as 

 did Dr. F. E. Blaisdell. Among Dr. Van Dyke's material I 

 found one each of the two species taken by myself at Mill 

 Valley, and three examples of still another species which 

 appears to be undescribed. 



Up to the present there have been described thirteen 

 species of the genus Hetaerius in the United States and of 

 these seven are from the state of California.* The three in- 

 cluded in the present paper make a total of ten for this state 

 and sixteen for the United States. Beside these there are 

 but five described from the rest of the World.
