 (Continued from page ,vi-) 



Empria capillata, n. sp. — Female. Clypeus with a median carina, 

 broadly, shallowly emarginate, without a median tooth, lobes broadly 

 rounded ; antennal furrows interrupted; the ocellar basin a broad, rounded, 

 rather shallow depression, extending to the median ocellus, and between 

 the bases of the antenna ; the median fovea a broad flaring crater at the 

 ventral end of the ocellar basin ; the ocellar and interocellar furrows dis- 

 tinct : the third segment of the antennae longer than the fourth ; the 

 saw-guides convex above and below, broadly rounded at apex above and 

 below to a rounded point just above the middle at apex ; body black, with 

 the collar and outer half of the tegulae white ; the knees and the front and 

 middle legs below the knees infuscated. Length, 6.5 mm. 



Habitat. — Peck, Idaho. Professor J. M. Aldrich, collector. 



Empria carbasea, n. sp. — Female. Clypeus flat, without a median 

 carina, deeply angularly emarginate, lobes angular and rounded at apex ; 

 antennal furrows not interrupted ; ocellar basin broad and flat, extending 

 between the antennse, reaching the median ocellus, the median fovea pit- 

 like, minute, above the ventral end of the ocellar basin ; ocellar and 

 interocellar furrows distinct ; the third segment of the antennae slightly 

 longer than the fourth ; saw-guides convex, above and below, obliquely, 

 roundly truncated to a round apex below^ the upper margin ; body black, 

 with the clypeus, labrum, gence, a line on the inner orbits to the occiput, 

 the collar, tegulce, an elongate spot on the pleurae, coxae, trochanters, 

 femora at base and beneath, the front tibiae, the middle tibiae except a ring 

 at apex, the hind tarsi at base and beneath, the tarsi more or less at base, 

 and a band on the abdominal pleurae, white. Length, 8 mm. 



Habitat. — Olympia, Washington. Professor Trevor Kincaid, collector. 



Empria coiifirmata, n. sp. — Female. Clypeus with a median carina, 

 emarginate with a blunt tooth, the lobes rounded ; the antennal furrows 

 interrupted ; the ocellar basin a broad, linear, flat-bottomed depression, 

 extending from the median ocellus almost to the dorsal margin of the 

 antennal foveae ; the median fovea a broad indistinct depression on a shelf 

 ventrad of the ocellar basin and completely separated from the ocellar
