154 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



pleura black ; basal area of metathorax strongly longitudinally 

 plicate, its sculpture entirely different from that of the adjacent 

 lateral areas, though it has no raised margin ; abdomen well 

 punctured on a smooth surface, the punctures very strong and 

 close at the sides of the segments ; hair on inner sides of basal 

 joints of tarsi tinged with coppery. Skokomish River, Wash., 

 April 26, 1892 (Trevor Kincaid). 



A. pluvialis, Ckll., n. sp.: Tubercle with sloping sides and truncate 

 apex; clypeus without any impunctate line ; hair of face black, 

 a little pale at sides, of vertex and cheeks black, of occiput pale, of 

 pleura black; area roughened, not plicate, longer than in cupreotincta, 

 and so larger, larger than in Carlini because broader behind, its 

 posterior angle greater; abdomen with a sericeous lustre, the 

 punctures small ; surface of abdomen quite hairy, the hairs black. 

 Olympia, Wash., May 1, 1894 (Trevor Kincaid). 



A. anogra, Ckll.,n. sp. : Agrees with pluvialis, except that pubescence 

 of thoracic dorsum is brighter, more fulvous; hair of face is wholly 

 black ; tubercle is small and emarginate or binodulose at apex ; 

 area is more coarsely rugulose and much narrower behind, being 

 shaped as in Carlini. Colorado Springs, Colo., middle of July, 

 at flowers of a white CEnotlicra (Ckll., 3567). 



A. vieiua, Smith : Tubercle broad and truncate, the truncation 

 sometimes concave and distinct, sometimes rather obscure; clypeus 

 with a median impunctate ridge, which is more or less roughened ; 

 hair of face pale, black only round the mouth, or only below the 

 mouth; hair of cheeks, vertex, occiput and pleura pale, area rough- 

 ened, large, not narrower behind, shaped as in pluvial is, but the 

 sides of the metathorax are clothed with pale hair, whereas in 

 pluvialis it is black; abdomen tessellate and well punctured, hardly 

 hairy except apically, being much less hairy than \\\ pluvialis; hair 

 on first segment pale. Olympia, Wash., June 4, 1895 (Trevor 

 Kincaid); Michigan ( C. F. Baker, labeled A. bicolor); Hartford, 

 Ct., May 30, 1894, and May 31st, 1896 (S. N. Dunning). This 

 is evidently the true vicina of Smith ; it ranges further north than 

 Carlini. 



Andrcna ccerulea, Smith, 1879. 



" Area smooth, not margined ; abdomen rugulose with slight raised 

 points ; tubercle I think slightly emarginate." Vancouver I. A.
