Evania Fabricius. 



Evania Neomexicana, new species. 



$ . — Length, 3.5 mm. Black, the metathorax at apex and some- 

 times the mesopleura below, rufo-testaceous ; the head and the 

 mesonotum are shining and only sparsely punctate ; the mesopleura 

 superiorly are smooth and impunctate, but posteriorly they are lineate, 

 and below, or toward the mesosternum, they are sparsely punctate ; while 

 the metathorax is rather coarsely and irregularly reticulate. Wings 

 hyaline, the tegultp, stigma and veins being black or piceous, the internal 

 veins sometimes brown. 



Type.— Cat. No. 6080, U. S. N. M. 



Habitat. — Las Cruces, N. Mex. 



Described from 2 specimens received from Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell. 



Evania Californica, new species. 



o* . — Length, 4.6 mm. Black, the face around the insertion of the 

 antennae, the clypeus, the mandibles, the sutures of the trochanters, the 

 tibial spurs, front knees, base of front and middle tibise and the sutures 

 of their tarsal joints or the front tarsi beneath, testaceous or brownish. 

 The head and the thorax above are smooth and impunctate, or at most 

 with only a few minute, scarcely perceptible punctures ; the prothorax at 

 the sides is lineate ; the mesopleura, except a small, smooth spot, are 

 reticulate and lineate superiorly, while the metathorax, except above, is 

 rather coarsely reticulate. Wings hyaline, the tegula? testaceous but 

 browish basally, the veins being brown-black. 



Type.— Cat. No. 60S1, U. S. N. M. 



Habitat. — Natoma, Southern California. 



Described from a single specimen taken by Mr. Albert Koebele. 

 Evania unicolor, Say. 



This species I have recently recognized, and it is certainly distinct 

 from E. appendigaster, Linne, although agreeing with it very closely in 

 size and colour. It was described by Say long before railroads were 

 built and before Evania appendigaster could have reached the interior of 

 the country. 



It is readily separated from E. appendigaster by punctuation and 

 sculpture, the head being distinctly punctured and clothed with a sericeous 

 pubescence, whereas in the former it is smooth and impunctured.
