Eyes densely hairy, the hairs on male much longer than those no female; 

 third antennal segment about twice as long as wide, its apex almost at mouth- 

 margin; cheek from margin of mouth to lower margin of eye wider than third 

 antennal segment, with rather dense, erect, fine hairs; frons of male about twice 

 as long as width at vertex, narrowed a little anteriorly, the surface with rather 

 long hairs, some hairs above orbital bristle; frons of female about one-third of 

 the head-width, the hairs as in male but shorter; dorsum of thorax with rather 

 dense hairs; scutellum with numerous hairs on disc and some long setulose hairs 

 on margin, which are almost as long as the marginal bristles; pteropleura with 

 some setulose hairs in centre. Second costal division over half as long as first; 

 inner cross-vein well in front of apex of first vein; veins 3 and 4 subparallel. 



Length 4-5 mm. 



Type. — Male, allotype, and 11 paratypes. Fort Snelling, Minn., April 28, 

 1920, (R. N. Chapman). Reared from puparia found under bark of dead oak 

 tree, April 21, 1920. Type in collection of University of Minnesota. 



Lonchaea ursina, sp. n. 



Male. — Differs from the preceding species in having the frons narrower 

 and with longer hairs, the third antennal segment narrowed at apex, the cheeks 

 narrower and with more sparse, longer setulose hairs, thoracic dorsum with

A NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS PISSODES (COLEOPTERA). 



BY RALPH HOPPING, 

 Division of Forest Insects, Dominion Entomological Branch. 



Up to the present time only four species of Pissodes have been recognized 

 from California.* Two of these are coast species, Pissodes barberi Hopk. and 

 P. radiatcc Hopk. The former from Humboldt County probably breeds on the 

 Sitka spruce, the latter is known to breed on the Monterey- pine and Knobcone 

 pine. The remaining two are found in the high mountains of the State. One, 

 Pissodes calif ornicns Hopk., breeding on the western yellow pine (Pinus pon- 

 der osa Laws.), and the other, Pissodes yosemite Hopk., breeding on Pinus pon- 

 derosa Laws., Pinus lambertiana Dougl. and Pinus monticola Don. 



None of the California species mentioned above have been found breeding 



on the lodgepole pine {Pinus contorta Dougl.). The only species mentioned as 



breeding on lodgepole pine in Dr. Hopkins' monograph of the genus are Pissodes
