27lS fttE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The following are from Yakima^ Wash., 1905 : A. Edwardsit, Cr. 

 (April 20 and 21); A. Crotchii, Cr. (April 21). 



All these appear to be new to the State, except Washingto?ii and 

 Crotchii. The latter is omitted by Mr. Viereck in Canad. Entom., 1905, 

 p. 313, but it was recorded from Pasco in Proc. Acad. Nat, Set, Phila.^ 

 1898, p. 54. 



Tetraloma Yaki7ne?isis, n. sp. 

 ^. — Length about 131^ mm.; black, the clypeus (except a deep 

 rounded incision on each side) rather light lemon-yellow, the labrum 

 yellowish-white ; hair of head and thorax dullish pale ochreous ; abdomen 

 with the first segment covered with very pale ochreous hair, the remaining 

 segments with coarse black hair, with no light hair in front of the apical 

 plate, nor any bands ; tarsi, especially the small joints, rufescent ; hair on 

 inner side of basal joint orange ; basal joint of middle tarsi twisted, and 

 with an apical projection ; hind spurs normal. Runs in my tables (Tr. 

 Amer. Ent. Soc, 1906) to T. Calif ornica (Cr.), from which it is easily 

 separated by the black hair of second abdominal segment, and absence of 

 reddish hair on apical part of abdomen. By the coloration of the 

 abdominal hair, it resembles T. acerba, but that is smaller, and has not 

 the deformed middle tarsi. The closest aftinity is no doubt with T. 

 fulvitarsis (Cr.), which has just the same leg-structure. T. Yakiine7isis 

 differs from fulvitarsis by its more robust form ; the hair on second 

 abdominal segment black instead of pale ; the absence of a light tuft 

 before the apical plate ; the piceous instead of ferruginous nervures ; the 

 yellowish (instead of white) hair of legs ; the dull disc of mesothorax, with 

 less conspicuous punctures. The f^icial quadrangle is much longer than 

 broad, the yellow of the clypeus almost touches the eye, and the man- 

 dibles have no yellow spot. The antenuce are practically as \x\ fulvitarsis. 



Hab. — Yakima, Washington State, April 21, 1905 ( Melajider). 

 Received through Mr. Viereck. 



Tetralonia Douglasiana^ n. sp. 

 9. — Length about 143^ mm., the light pubescence gray to white, 

 only very faintly yellowish on thorax above ; hair on inner side of basal 

 joint of hind tarsi clear ferruginous ; flagellum very faintly reddish 

 beneath 3 tegulse ferruginous, fuscous basally ; abdomen with very broad 

 bands of white tomentum on segments 2 to 4 ; the white band on 5 very 

 broadly interrupted in the middle by dark rufo-fuscous; wings dusky, with 

 a yellow tint, the nervures piceous ; no dark hair on mesothorax or
