92 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



wings delicately hairy, marked with blackish, nervures suffused with black, 

 marginal nervure almost but not quite attaining the costa at its distal end; 

 a suffused black cloud beneath the end of the marginal cell, a double one 

 in the apical field, a small and indistinct one beyond the apex of the mar- 

 ginal cell, and a faint cloud on the lower part of the wing. 



Gall. — On under side of leaf of Qiiercusundulata (true undulata, not 

 Gambelii), on each side of midrib, sometimes as many as eight on a leaf; 

 gall a thin-shelled depressed sphere, light ferruginous, rather shiny, smooth, 

 surface microscopically tessellate, basal portion with a thin inconspicuous 

 pubescence. 



Bab. — Las Vegas Hot Springs, N. M., Jan., 1900 (Miss Wilmatte 

 Porter ). Fly emerged Jan. 30. I had taken the galls to be those of D. 

 glabra, Gillette, which I found in Wet Mountain Valley, Colorado, on 

 leaves of Qiiercus Gambelii. The fly, however, proves quite different 

 from that o\ glabra, and more nearly allied \o D. pulchripefmis, A?,\\m.,2ir\d 

 D.bella (Bassett). From both of these it differs by the 13-jointed antennae; 

 ixQva pulchripennis also by its dark colour, from bella by the much smaller 

 galls. The only other western Dryophanta which has 13-jointed antennae 

 in the ? is D. nubila (Bassett), but this has densely hairy galls. 



PYRAMEIS HUNTERA, N. VAR. FULVIA. 



BY G. M. DODGE, LOUISIANA, PIKE CO., MISSOURI. 



Expanse one and six-eighths inches. It differs from the usual form 

 of Huntera by its smaller size, its paler colour, and by being more broadly 

 fulvou':. The fuscous of the primaries is reduced to a black crescentic 

 line at end of discal cell, a dark costal border and a small patch at apex 

 enclosing the white spots. This apical patch is pale, and is outwardly 

 invaded by fulvous. 



The large, somewhat crescent-shaped spot that extends from the 

 costa is fulvous, scarcely lighter than the surrounding parts, and is 

 margined, inwardly, with a narrow black line. 



On the posterior half of the wing the usual black marks are much 

 reduced in area. 



On the secondaries the costal shades are small and pale. The border is 

 narrow, merely a line of crescent-shaped black spots, sharply defined by an 

 outer fulvous line, beyond which a series of dark spots dot the margin, 

 interrupting the white fringe. 



Below much like typical Huntera, but paler and showing less blue. 



Fulvia appears to be a spring form of Huntera, perfectly fresh 

 examples being taken here May 2nd to 12th. It varies slightly in 

 showing more or less of the dusky clouding, but its small size and pale 

 fulvous primaries distinguish it at a glance from typical Huntera, in 

 which the apical half of the wing is black. 



Mailed February 27th, 1900.
