THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 75 



and scutellum gray poUinose, the abdomen glabrous, shining ; front each 

 side and the scuteUum bearing four bristles ; wings brown, the following 

 spots hyaUne: four in costal cell (a yellow dot on costa just beyond apex 

 of auxiliary vein), two in marginal cell situated between apices of first and 

 second veins, three in sub-marginal cell, of which two are between apices 

 of second and third veins and the third is contiguous to the first spot in 

 marginal cell ; three in first posterior cell, the one at apex reaching the 

 wing margin ; four each in second and third posterior cells, three in each 

 cell reaching the wing margin ; three in first basal cell, of which two are 

 near its base and the other near its apex ; and one in discal cell near its 

 apex ; second basal, anal and base of axillary cells largely hyaline ; first 

 vein bristly, the others bare • length, 4 mm. Southern California. A 

 single male specimen. 



The wings resemble Figure 23, Plate X., of Loew's Monograph, but 

 there is no hyaline spot just before apex of second vein, only one in the 

 discal cell, etc. 



Trypeta {Euraesta) tapetis, n. sp., (^ 9 . Yellowish, the dorsum of 

 thorax, lower part of pleura, meianotum and ovipositor, black, the abdo- 

 men sometimes marked with blackish ; scutellum bearing four bristles ; 

 wings brown, the following spots hyaline: two in costal cell, one between 

 apices of auxiliary and first veins ; four or five in marginal cell, of which 

 two or three are between apices of first and second veins ; four in sub- 

 marginal cell, of which two are between apices of second and third veins, 

 that at tip of second vein encroaching on the marginal cell ; four in first 

 posterior cell, of which one is near the base and three near its apex, one 

 of the latter spots sometimes being divided into two spots ; three in 

 second posterior cell, each reaching the wing margin, but two of these 

 spots are sometimes merged into one ; four in third posterior cell, three 

 of which reach the wing margin; three in first basal cell, and two in discal 

 cell, of which one is near its base and the other near its apex ; second 

 basal, anal and base of axillary cell largely hyaline ; first vein bristly, the 

 others bare ; length, 4 mm. New Mexico (E. L. Keen). Four males 

 and two females. 



The wings somewhat resemble Figure 28, Plate X., of Loew's Mono- 

 graph, but the hyaline spots are larger and more numerous, some of them 

 merging into each other so as to form a cross-band, beginning just before 

 apex of auxiliary vein, and reaching the wing margin just beyond apex of 

 sixth vein.
