three joints of all tlie tarsi blackish. Wings with the veins of the disk 

 fuscous ; third vein furcate. 



One specimen, Washington Territory. 



Euparhyphus bellus Loew. 



Three specimens from Pennsylvania, all evidently of the same species. 

 I identify as this, but the species is variable. The head in both females 

 agrees with the description ; the head of the male likewise agrees with the 

 specimen spoken of in the note. In one female there are two slender 

 yellow vittulre in the front of the dorsum, in the other two it is wanting. 

 The scutellum is wholly black in all, except the spines. The abdomen 

 in all agree in having two small circulai yellow spots on the disc of the 

 third segment, a minute yellow spot on the posterior angles of the third 

 and fourth segments, and a large semi-oval yellow spot on the fifth seg- 

 ment, otherwise the abdomen is wholly black. In one of the females the 

 first discal posterior vein is but the merest rudiment. I do not doubt but 

 that Loew's male and female specimens belonged together. 



A single male specimen from Connecticut is related, but it may be 

 different. It is somewhat larger, and differs from my male of E. bellus in 

 having two larger yellow spots on the disk of the third segment, and two 

 additional similar ones on the fourth segment. 



Clitellaria lata Loew. 



A male specimen from Washington is apparently this. 



A female from California has the pubescence of the head and abdomen 

 more golden colored than white, and the third antennal joint is much 

 more thickened. 



Clitellaria argent at a, n. sp. 



Length 8 mm. ^. Black, with light colored pile and silvery 

 pubescence. Eyes broadly contiguous, thickly fuscous pilose. Pile of 

 the front and face light gray. Antennae rather slender ; first two joints, 

 tip of the third, and style black, remainder yellowish red. Thorax, with 

 light gray pile and nearly uniform recumbent silvery pubescence ; a slender 

 median stripe, ajittle broader, interrupted one, on each side, two small 

 spots on the pleurae, and the metanotum, glabrous ; spines of the scutellum 

 yellow. jVbdomen, with short recumbent white pile, nearly uniform, with 

 small, oval, nearly glabrous spots on the front margins of the anterior
