admixture of black in the pubescence, and from the latter by the colour of 

 the pubescence and the black tegulte. Cresson describes only the 9 of 

 texamis. 



Besides the type specimen of c/eomis, I have two others taken 

 at Santa Fe', in August, by V. Boyle. It may be added that P. cleomis 

 shows a considerable superficial resemblance to the European P. 

 a/bigenus, Lep., which I have from Marseilles [E. Andre], but in 

 albigeitus the abdominal bands are due to pubescence, as in alatnosauus. 



Podaliriiis alamosanus, n. sp. — 9- Length about 14 mm.; anterior 

 wing, 9 mm.; stout, black, with cinereous pubescence. Head broad, 

 densely pubescent, except on lower part of clypeus and sides of vertex, 

 which are bare ; the pubescence cinereous, becoming tinged with 

 ochraceous and mixed with black on occiput and middle of vertex. Face 

 wholly black. Vertex roughened, and with sparse, indistinct punctures ; 

 clypeus rough from dense confluent punctures. First joint of flagellum 

 as long as the second, third and fourth together, second shorter than 

 third. Thorax densely covered with ashy pubescence, becoming dull 

 white beneath, tinged with ochreous and mixed with black (especially on 

 scutellum) on dorsum. Tegulaj fuscous, hairy on anterior half. Wings 

 smoky-hyaline, nervures and stigma piceous, venation normal. Legs 

 black with cinereous pubescence, apical joints of tarsi rufous. Hind tibicC 

 with short black hairs on inner surface; basal joint of hind tarsi with 

 dark chocolate or fuscous pubescence on inner surface, and a black 

 brush at tip. Abdomen black, the exposed parts with obscure sparse 

 black pubescence ; the whole of the first segment, and broad apical 

 margins of segments 2 to 4, covered with very pale ochraceous hairs. 

 Fifth segment with black pubescence, and a patch of pale ochraceous 

 hairs on each side. Ends of ventral segments with pale hairs. 



Habitat. — Canada Alamosa, New Mexico, June 18 [C. H. T. Town- 

 send]. The light abdominal hair-bands are very conspicuous and nearly 

 uniform in width. This species seems to be quite closely allied to P. 

 mexicajius (Sichel MS., Dours), but that is larger (17 mm.) and has the 

 pubescence fulvous. Unfortunately, Dours's short description of mexicafiiis 

 contains no reference to the hind tarsi, 5th abdominal segment, etc. The 

 locality of mex!ca?ius is vaguely given as Mexico, but the types came 

 from de Saussure, and were probably collected by him on the tableland. 



Podalirus vallorttm, n. sp. — ^. Length, 12 m.m.; anterior wing, 

 8 mm.; fairly stout, black, head and thorax with dense pale fulvous
