THE CANADIA.1S ENTOMOLOGIST. 19 



Strongylogaster distans, JVorL— Common in April and May. I have eight 

 $ and six S specimens, and Mr. Fletcher has six 9 s. The abdomen 

 of the male is entirely red, except base of first segment and basal 

 plates, but the female has the remaining segments more or less 

 marked with basal black spots. 



Strongylogaster (?) marginata, Prov. 



Sdandria marginata, Prov.— Type $ in my coll. Mr. Fletcher has 

 also six $ and four $ from Cedar Hill. May and June. 



Tenthredo erythromera, Prov. — Type ^ in my coll. 



Tenthredo nigrisoma, Hargtn. — Types $ in my coll. One taken by 

 Taylor, 5th June, 1888 ; the other, also at Victoria, by Wickham. 



Tenthredo nigricosta, Prov. — Type 9 in my coll. 



Tenthredo rubricus, Prov. 



Allantus rubricus, Prov. — Type ? and another in my coll.; one 

 also examined for Mr. Fletcher. The antenna^ are not those of an 

 Allantus, and the insect is apparently a variety of T. iiiellina, with 

 antenna? slightly shorter and pale markings less conspicuous. 



Tenthredo ruficoxa, Prov. — ^Type ? in my coll. 



Tenthredo rufopedibus, Nort. — Recorded by Taylor as common in spring, 

 but not in his collection ; probably the species I have determined as 

 T. variata. 



Tenthredo terminalis, Prov. — Type ? in my coll. 



Tenthredo variata, Nort. — Three $ specimens. May and June. Mr. 

 Fletcher has also one $ . 



Tenthredo varipicta, Cress. — Prov.; Add. Faune Bym., p. 14. Two 

 females taken 28th May and 4th June, received by Mr. Fletcher. 



Tenthredopsis Evansii, Hargtji. — Mr. Fletcher has one $ taken in May. 



Synairema pacifica, Prov. — Type ? in my coll. Apparently a species of 

 Macrophya ; the coxae are shorter than usual, but the femora reach 

 to tip of abdomen. Head coarsely punctured ; in shape and sculp- 

 ture resembling Macrophya ; antennae wanting. Thorax coarsely 

 but more sparsely punctured, and scutellum polished, with a few 

 shallow punctures. Appears to be closely related to M. bicolor, 

 Cress., but has first segment black. 



Pamphilius pacificus, Nort. — Kirby ; List Hym. Brit. Musm., Vol. /., 

 p. 348. 



Macroxyela, sp. nov.? One ? labelled as captured on oak. May 12th, 

 1896.
