Empiia context a ^ n. sp. — Female.  Clypeus wit!i a median carina 

 and a broad median tcoth, the lobes broadly rounded ; the antenna! ftir- 

 rows interrupted ; the ocellar basin flat, not reaching the median ocellus^ 

 the median fovea a small, pin hole puncture ; the ocellar and interocellar 

 furrows distinct ; the third segment of the antenna longer than the fourth ; 

 the saw-guides straight above, convex below, squarely, slightly obliquely, 

 truncated at apex with the lower angles rounded ; the body black with 

 the clypeus, labrum, collar, and tegulas white ; the front and middle legs 

 more or less yellowish infuscated. Length, 6mm. 



Habitat. — Colorado. Professor C. F. Baker, collector. 



Empria kincaidii MacG. — Female. Clypeus with a median carina, 

 emarginate with a median tooth, lobes rounded; antenna! furrows inter- 

 rupted ; ocellar basin extending to tlie median ocellus, ending ventraliy a^ 

 the dorsal margin of the antenna! foveas, broad and flat with a mediai"i 

 carina ; the median fovea wanting or very indistinct ; the saw-guides con- 

 vex above and below, slightly obliquely, convexly rounded at apex. 



This species was originally described as Monostegia kincaidii from 

 one male and seven female specimens. A re-examination of this material 

 has shown it to be a composite of several species. 



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

 deeply, angularly emarginate, with a distinct tooth, the lobes angular ; 

 the ocell.ir basin diamond-shaped on its lower half, constricted above by 

 a pair of rounded, mound-shaped elevations situated below the median 

 ocellus ; the median fovea a broad pit, situated above the dorsal margin 

 of the antenna! fove?e ; the antenna! furrows interrupted ; the ocellar and 

 interocellar furrows distinct : the antennj^e with the third segment longer 

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

 rounded at apex ; body black with the collar white, the front legs below 

 the knees more or less rufous. Length, 7 mm. 



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

 ocellar basin linear, sbghtly wider below, the median fovea deep ; the 

 ocellar furrow distinct, the interocellar furrow continued below the mediin: 

 ocellus to the middle of Uie ocellar basin ; the third segment of the 

 antennae longer than the fourth ; the saw-guides straight above, straight
