group occidentalis (= Sphcerophthabna^ ; but while the next four . 

 species agree with them in shape of first segment, they are more of 

 the type of group anthophorce., which I regard as typical Photopsis.

 broadly rounded behind ; space between hind ocelli distinctly less than that 

 between them and eyes ; first abdominal segment distinctly nodose, coarsely punc- 

 tured, considerably widened apically ; second dorsal with scattered punctures, 

 closer basal 1 y ; dorsals 3-6 finely and closely punctured; second ventral with 

 large, separated, even punctures; wings subhyaline, stigma black, nervn res tes-

Arizona; New Mexico: Santa Fe in July (Cockerell). Two 



specimens.

"J, . — Entirely pale castaneous; legs and flagellum more testaceous ; head with 

 strong, separated punctures, rather well produced and narrowed behind eyes, 

 hind margin subrounded ; autennse shorter than head and thorax : space between 

 hind ocelli, if anything, slightly greater than that between them and eyes; 

 punctures of dorsulum large and separated ; first abdominal segment rather 

 short, nodose, coar.sely punctured, in length shorter than middle segment; second 

 and following dorsals sparsely punctured, the second ventral more strongly; 

 wings subhyaline, slightly yellowish, nervures and stigma pale, recurrent vein 

 received by second submarginal cell between base and middle; entire insect 

 clothed with an erect, pale pubescence. Length 15 mm.
