Laphria canis var. disparella Banks. 



Bibliographic references previously. 



Variety disparella is distinguished from the typical variety 

 by the golden color of hair on the abdomen and sometimes of 

 the pile on face. 



Mystax black, decumbent pile of face white to golden. Pollinose 

 areas as in typical form. Beard and coxal hair gray to silvery. Short, 

 sparse hair of thoracic disk, tuft in front of halteres and scutellar pile and 

 bristles pale, tinged with golden. The scutellar bristles and halteral 

 tuft vary to black. Hair of abdomen rather sparse, golden, most 

 noticeable on hind margins and posterior abdominal segments.

Laphria winnemana new species. 



Mystax black, decumbent pile of face silvery. Beard and coxal hair 

 grayish white; usual areas pollinose. Thoracic bristles and tuft in 

 front of halteres black. Short sparse hair of thoracic dorsum pale 

 golden when viewed from in front, appearing black in some lights; 

 longer hair of scutellum pale golden, bristles pale to black. Abdomen 

 with sparse pale hair which is especially long at sides and mostly white 

 on first three segments, and mostly golden (may appear black in some 

 lights) on remaining segments, being especially prominent on seventh. 

 Long hair beneath abdomen very pale golden; hair of legs gray and 

 black. Wings dark fumose paler toward base. Hypopygium black 

 with black and white hairs; forceps from above abruptly narrowed into 

 a slender process which is enlarged into a dilated trapezifomi apex. 

 The lamella along inner apical margin is directed downward and opaque, 

 not more horizontal and translucent as in L. canis. From side 

 forceps appears much like that of L. canis, the lamella just men- 

 tioned being much more conspicuous however. (Fig. 22). Length, 

 11-14 mm.
