Habitat. — Two 9 's, Lincoln, Nebr., April 19, 1902, "on elder"

This species is related to pulchclla, Klug, but the cox:w are largely 

 black. It is probably nearest to zot\ Kby., from which it may be known 

 by having the anterior femora black all the way round, the middle tibiae 

 entirely pale, wing not darker at apex, etc.
