touches the first longitudinal. The apical spot scarcely reaches the 

 third longitudinal. See Fig. 20. 



Described from 98 specimens taken at Bamber, N. J., July 

 9, '06; one specimen, Tom's River, July 12, '04; two specimens 

 from Jamesburg, N. J., July 4th, collected by Mr. Harbeck, 

 and one specimen from Lakehurst, N. J., collected by Mr. W. 

 T. Davis. 



The specimens referred to by Baron Osten-Sacken at the 

 end of his description of C. morosus, Prodrome, page 390, un- 

 doubtedly belong to this species. He writes: "Two females 

 and a male, also from Maryland, are smaller, abdofnen alto- 

 gether brown, front tibiae, etc., etc. I am doubtful whether 

 they belong here." 



This species would appear to be in line with the variations 

 of lugcns. Hypothetically, lugcns would be the intermediate 

 form between morosns and parvulits, but I have taken the ex- 

 tremes, morosus and panntlus, in great numbers at the same 

 date and place, Bamber, July 9th, while lugcns could not be 

 found. Besides, I offer the following comparative diagnosis 

 as proof of their separateness : 



parvulus, 



Size 5^3-7 mm. Oc- 

 cipital borderof eye not 

 connected with occi- 

 put. Frontal spot more 

 or less excised anteri- 

 orly (see fig. and variations of fron- 



tal spot). Thoracic stripes barely 

 visible. Abdomen uniformly brown. 

 Apical spot of wings scarcely reaches 

 third longitudinal. Hind femora 

 and tibiae dark brown, except ex- 

 treme section of knee. 



lugens and inorosus. 



Size 7-8*4 mm. (The 

 two N, J. specimens of 

 lugens are 7^ mm.) 

 Occipital borderof eye 

 connected with occiput. Frontal 

 spot filled out. (See fig. and varia- 



tions of frontal spot.) Thoracic 

 stripes very distinct, abdomen 

 striped (lugens one stripe ; moro- 

 sus three stripes). Apical spot ex- 

 ceeds third longitudinal. Apical 

 third of hind femora also tibiae 

 yellowish; 



21. C. Mnei n. sp. 9- 



Length 7^-8^ mm. Face, facial callosities, cheeks, and frontal 

 callus yellow, the latter at times narrowly margined with brown. Front 

 dark brown, with grayish pollen. The brown shining occllar tubercle 

 prominent. First antcnnal segment yellow-ferruginous, second reddish- 

 brown, third from brown to black. Thorax and scutcllum brown.
