J. R. MALLOCH 251 



This maj' be the species which I have ah-eady seen from the 

 Southwest and considered as a variety of hrunneinervis. 



Phaonia monticola Malloch 



Phaonia monticola Malloch, Trans. Amer. Ent. Hoc, xliv, p. 266, 1918. 



This species is readily separated from its alhes by the dense 

 erect hairs on the ventral surfaces of the apical two -thirds of 

 the fore tibia in both sexes, and by the presence of anterodorsal 

 l)ristles on mid tibia. 



I have seen this species from New Mexico {type), Colorado, 

 mid Labrador. 



This is undoubtedly the species Stein records as morio Zet- 

 terstedt from this country. 



I obtained males of the European species from three corres- 

 pondents for comparison with my North American examples, 

 and believe that the forms are different though closely related. 

 The posteroventral bristles on the hind femur in my specimens 

 of morio, from Finland and Sweden, are much longer than in 

 those from America, and there are several minor distinctions 

 present which prevent me uniting them at this time, though an 

 examination of a larger series of both may ultimately result in 

 that course being followed. I am of the opinion that the Italian 

 specimens sent me as morio are not that species, but do not 

 desire to go into the matter of distinctions in extralimital material 

 at this time. 



Phaonia brunneinervis (Stein) 



Aricia brmmcincrvis Stein, Berl. Ent. Zeitschr., 1897, p. 183, 1897. 



I have the tj'pe male of this species before me. As stated in 

 the remarks under consobrina, I think that this is the species 

 Stein records under that name from Colorado. 



I have seen the species from Craig's ^Mountains, Idaho {type); 

 Tennessee Pass, Colorado, and Gallatin County, ^Montana. 



Phaonia fraterna jicw species 



^lale. — Similar to serva in color, differing in having the wings slii>htly 

 brownish, not yellowish basally, the cross-veins noticeably, but not con- 

 spicuously darkened. Abdomen with a rather large subtriangular dorso- 

 central black mark on (>ach tergite, and some lateral black checkerings.
