Remarks. — This and the following species are similar in pattern 

 to the European conterminella (Zeller) . 



The abdomen of the type is missing, but I do not hesitate to place 

 the series before me under this name. 



Through the courtesy of Dr. McDunnough I have been able to 

 dissect one of the only two females I have seen and have figured the 

 genitalia. 



This species has been recorded fi'om British Columbia, but all 

 specimens so determined are referable to oregonensis (new species) .
