58 CYRTIDAE OF NORTH AMERICA 



Localities. — Darien, Connecticut, June 2 (C. W. Johnson); 

 Bennington, Vermont, June 18, 1915 (C. W. Johnson); Shirley 

 Hill, New Hampshire, June 17, 1911 (F. W. Grigg). I have a 

 specimen from Massachusetts, June 18, 1886 (J. G. Jack); color 

 paler, immature. 



Acrocera fumipennis 



Acrocera fumipennis Westwood, Trans. Ent. Soc. of London, v: 98, (1848). 



"Black, shining, wings hyaline, toward base infuscated, veins obscure near 

 base, at apex almost obliterated. Alulae fuscous, legs whitish. Length of 

 body I5 lines. Expanse of wings 4 lines. Georgia. — Type in British Museum." 



C. W. Johnson in his paper on the genus Acrocera states that 

 fumipennis may be a dark form of unguiculata Westwood. "The 

 entire absence of yellow markings in the description, and the 

 statement that the base of wing is smoky brown cannot apply 

 to those seen with obsolete venation." 



Acrocera subfasciata (PI. XIII, fig. 38.) 



Acrocera subfasciata Westwood, Trans. Ent. Soc. of London, v: 98, (1848). 



"Black, thorax with two cuneiform fulvous spots; abdomen fuscous, first 

 segment with two transverse spots toward apex, two apical fascia on both sides 

 short, luteous; the other segments yellow margined posteriorly. Length, I5 

 lines. Expanse, 4^ lines. 



"New York. — Type in British Museum. 



"Head and thorax black, two cuneiform spots fulvous, spiracles white, 

 sides of mesothorax white posteriorly. Legs white, ungues black. Wings 

 hyaline, veins pale fuscous, costa slightly darker." 



C. W. Johnson describes a specimen collected by J. C. Bri dwell 

 at Pelham, New Hampshire, September 8, 1905, which agrees 

 with Westwood's description, except that the yellow cuneiform 

 markings on each side of the anterior part of the thorax extend in 

 two very narrow subdorsal lines to the base of the scutellum; 

 likely a variety, apparently resembling liturata, which may prove 

 a variety. Abdomen yellow with dorsal and lateral spots of 

 black, those on second segment narrowly connected with those on 

 sides. Venation typical. Williston does not mention the vena- 

 tion of liturata. 



Acrocera hubbardi new species (PI. X, fig. 31.) 



9 . Head and thorax black, shining. Very fine, short gray hair; praescutel- 

 lar callosities whitish; the humeral callosities whitish-yellow. Whitish hair on 

 occiput. Most of scutellum black, the outer rim yellowish brown. Abdomen
