THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 21^) 



P. granditarsus, Forster (P. ocymi, Fabr.). — A male specimen in the 

 collection of the Milwaukee Publ. Mus. was taken by the Museum coll. 

 exped. July 25, 1909, near the mouth of the Nemakagon River, Burnett 

 Co. This male shows the black spots on the posterior angles of the 

 second and third abdominal segments, which are referred to in Prof 

 Williston's description (Synopsis of the N. Am. Syrphidoe, p. 56), as 

 occurring in the female, but not in the male sex. This species is to all 

 appearance not quite as rare as the preceding, it has been reported so far 

 from several points in Canada, New Hampshire (White Mts.), and Massa- 

 chusetts in the Eastern, and Washington in the Western United States.
