Described from 3 males and 3 females and 10 other specimens for 

 comparison. Seven bear the label of Colorado, and one the date of 

 capture at Fort Collins, September 12, 1901. A pair of co-types 

 deposited in the collection of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, 

 American Entomological Society of Philadelphia, and that of Charles W. 

 Johnson. The paratypes are in the collection of the American Entomo- 

 logical Society. 



I have named this species after the well-known dipterologist, Charles 

 W. Johnson, curator of the Boston Society of Natural History, whose aid 

 has been one of encouragement to me.
