which are of a darker colour than any of the other markings. The wing 

 following this line is soniewhat darker than the portion preceding it. The 

 veins of about the outer half cf the wings are paler than the interspaces. 

 Outer margin slightly scalloped, fringe concolorous. Hind wings of 

 uniform, reddish-brown, darker than fore wings. Fringe whitish at 

 extreme edge. Outer margin quite distinctly scalloped. 



Beneath the fore wings are of about the same shade as the hind wings 

 above, while the hind wings beneath almost match the fore wings above in 

 colour. The fore wings are somewhat washed with gray towards apex 

 and outer margin. A double outer line more or less in evidence, the 

 inner of the two, on hind wings, being well marked, the outer one much 

 fainter. On fore wings both lines are quite faint, though easily traceable. 

 Antennte brown, quite broadly bipectinate to tip. 



$. Expanse, 92 mm. Compared with the c? , the wings are much 

 more distinctly scalloped, the colour of head, thorax and fore wings, while 

 still somewhat lighter than the hind wings, is not so much mixed with 

 gray, and the pale band preceding the subterminal broken line is much 

 more contrasting, being quite a little paler than the rest of the wing, while 

 the median space is only a shade darker. 



The relation of colours of the under side to the upper is the same as- 

 in the ^ , the hind wings, however, being only a trifle lighter than the 

 fore. The transverse lines are less well marked, being scarcely traceable,, 

 except toward costa of fore wing.

I take pleasure in naming this beautiful species after Mr. V. W. 

 Owen, of Los Angeles, California, who kindly sent the specimens to me 

 for description. It is congeneric with my Coronada^ and from the evident 

 resemblance to tigures of various species of Eiitricha^ given in the BioL 

 Cent. Amer., there is no question but that they belong to that genus. 



Halictus Pecosensis. — The type of this new species came from 

 Pecos Canon, N. M., not from Pecos, as stated on page 6.
