52 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



It is more robust, with a broader abdomen ; the wings are quite smoky ; 

 the pubescence of the face and thoracic dorsum are mouse colour; the 

 face is perceptibly broader ; the tegul?e are piceous and pujictzij-ed all 

 over ; the mesothorax is dull and strongly and closely, though irregularly, 

 punctured ; the enclosure of the metathorax is somewhat more strongly 

 subreticulately wrinkled ; the bases of the abdominal segments are 

 dullish, but there is no well-defined punctuation. 



Hab. — Olympia, Washington State, June 13, 1895. 



H. sijnilis, Smith, which Mr. Kincaid took at Olympia in May and 

 June, differs from Ki?icaidii at once by its honey-coloured (instead of 

 piceous) stigma, broader head, and impunctate tegula?. From H. 

 olympice, similis is readily known by the impunctate abdomen, and the 

 hind spur of hind tibia pectinate with four teeth, instead of dentate- 

 serrate. The spur is also pectinate in Kincaidii. H. similis, it may be 

 remarked, differs from H. arciiatiis by the impunctate first abdominal 

 segment and the larger second submarginal cell, etc. H. Olympics, v. 

 subangustus, is much like aratattis, but is readily known from it by its 

 broader face and dark stigma. 



Halidus Leronxii, va.v. rjibonun, n. var. — $. Somewhat smaller 



than usual; pubescence all strongly tinged orange or yellowish-rufous; 



"tegulce reddish-brown (or sometimes quite dark), distinctly punctured 



along the margin ; tarsi mostly, and hind tibiae behind, clear ferruginous. 



 Hmd spur of hind tibia pectinate with about nine teeth, only the first 

 three large. 



Hab. — Seattle, Washington State, May 14, on Rubus ur sinus. (T. 

 Kincaid.) This looks like a distinct species, but other Lerouxii from 

 Seattle are. intermediate between it and the type, having the legs dark, 

 but the pubescence and tegulae of ruborum. Some Lerouxii from Olym- 

 pia (Kincaid) are hardly larger than coriaceus, but the broad face still 

 distinguishes them. 



It may be remarked here that Mr. Kincaid takes at Olympia not 



 only H. Lerouxii and LL. coriaceus, but also H. sisymbrii, Ckll., a species 

 hitherto reported only from New Mexico. I have also identified from 

 the Olympia material H. fasciatus, Nyl., Rob., and H. confusus, Sm., Rob. 



Halictoides Tinsleyi, n. sp. — $ . Six mm. long, black, with rather 

 sparse dirty-white pubescence. Head rather small, facial quadrangle 

 about square, face and cheeks quite hairy ; antennce very short, wholly 

 dark, flagellum quite thick ; vertex appearing coarsely granular from the
