 more or less silvery pollinose ; frontal vitta soft brownish golden ; facial depres- 

 sion, sides of face and cheeks, rich silvery white pollinose, cheeks hairy. An-

Bath, Jamaica (E. M. Swainson) ; bred from a lepidopterou.s 

 chrysalis ; one male. A beautiful species. Type in coll. ToAvnsend. 



57. Echinomyia luemorrlioa v. d. Wulp, Williston. 



San Francisco Mt., Arizona. Quite well up the mountain, prob- 

 ably in spruce zone. Three males and two females, July 15 ; also 

 one male near base (Cordley), and another male at Hart Little 

 Spring, both July 14. I am quite satisfied that this is the species 

 referred by Williston to hcemorrhoa. In my specimens the third 

 antennal joint is larger in the male, the abdomen (of male) is dark 

 red on the sides and with the anal segment largely blackish shining. 

 The anal segment of female has the silvery efflorescence, but that of 

 the male is quite uniformly without it, only exceptionally showing 

 traces of it. There is a very small cloud on anterior cross-vein in 

 the males, not apparent in the females. 



58. Ediinomyia iteraus Walk. 



San Francisco Mt., Arizona; in spruce zone; three females (one 

 coll. Cordley), July 15. This species belongs in the subgenus Pele-
