142 NORTH AMERICAN ORMOSIA (dIPTERA) 



Abdomen fuscous, clothed with rather long pale pubescence. Hypopygium 

 ferruginous, the ninth sternite paler, strongly prolonged and deeply incised, 

 each side somewhat dilated and infuscate distad. 



9 , Does not differ from the male, except that the antennae are a trifle 

 shorter. Ovipositor yellowish-red, upper valves sHghtly curved. 



Holotype: cT ; Sonoma Co., California. April 8, 1914. (Au- 

 gust Kusche^ — collector.) 



Allotype: 9 ; topotypic. May 13, 1914. 



Paratypes: 2 females; topotypic. May 13, 1914. 



In its unicolorous wings, the discal cell opening into the third 

 posterior cell and veins six and seven diverging towards the wing 

 margin, the present species approaches closest to 0. manicata 

 Doane and differs from it in its more yellow color, the region of 

 the stigma not darker and the pale pubescence of the abdomen, 

 as well as differences in the construction of the hypopygium. 

 From 0. deviata, it differs in the pale basal joints of the antennae. 

 Four specimens in author's collection.

Head fuscous, front with a grayish bloom, palpi dark fuscous, antennae fus- 

 cous, bent back they reach to the insertion of the wings, two basal joints stout, 

 basal joints of flagellum nearly equal in thickness to the former, outer joints

 bearing one or more setae. Eyes widely separated above. 



Thorax above and pleura with a fine, grayish bloom; mesonotum with a nar-
