293 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



a crescent-shaped mark on each side on the vertex between the postocellar 

 area and the orbital spot, an irregular band between the dorsal margins 

 of the compound eyes, including the ocelli, the pronotum except the lateral 

 and caudal margin, a spot on the cephalic half of the median lobe of the 

 mesonotum, a spot on each lateral lobe, a round spot on the disk of the 

 mesonotum, the dorsum of the metathorax in great part, the basal plates, 

 the pleural and sternal sutures, and the caudal surfaces of the femora, 

 for the most part, black; the median fovea a pit nearer the ocelli than the 

 antennae, with a tubercle at its ventral end ; antennae with about thirty- 

 five segments, the third segment as long as the next two ; the postocellar 

 area broadly convex, higher than the ocelli ; mesal eye-margin distinctly 

 angulate ; the head sparsely, punctately roughened except the declivous 

 area, which is polished ; front wings with the free part of R5 and the 

 radial cross-vein interstitial. Length 14 mm. 



Habitat. — x\xton, N. Y. (C. O. Houghton and the author, collectors) ; 

 Manchester, Conn. (A. B. Chamberlin, collector); Wallingford, Conn. (J. K. 

 Lewis, collector). 



This species is closely allied with luteomaculata Cress. 



Cephaleia distinda, n. sp.— Male : Body black with the clypeus, the 

 supraclypeal area, the head between the compound eyes and the antennal 

 sockets, a faint spot on each vertical furrow, the posterior orbits, the 

 tegulfe, a band on the mesopleurse, the prosternum, the legs beyond the 

 coxae and the lateral margin of the abdomen, yellow ; antennae with about 

 twenty-five segments, the third segment longer than four and five together; 

 the median fovea extending to the median ocellus ; the clypeus slightly 

 carinated ; the head sparsely punctured, punctures confluent in the region 

 above the antennal sockets ; the mesonotum sparsely punctured ; the 

 scutellum almost smooth. Length 10 mm. 



Habitat.— Mt. Washington, N. H. ; Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson, 

 collector. 



This species would fall in a table near mathematicus Kirby, from 

 which it can be differentiated by the black head. 



Cephaleia criddlei, n. sp. — Female : body black with the clypeus, a 

 spot on the inner margin of the compound eye, a broad spot on each 

 vertical furrow, the posterior orbits, a long spot on the lateral lobes of the 

 mesonotum including the scutellum and the dorsum of the abdomen, and 

 extending as an angulated band along the lateral margin, rufous ; the 

 antenuEe beyond the pedicel, and the legs beyond the tip of the femora,
