nevadensis Baker shows no significant points of difference, as 
Baker seems to have suspected might he the case. The distinc- 
tion which he points out that, as stated hj" Fox, albipes has “the 
first and second transverse cul)ital veins uniting above” is not 
true of the type si^ecimen of albipes. The two approach more or 
less closely but do not unite, and on one side are quite appreciably 
separated along the vein r-B, 3 . 
In the type the first and second segments of the flagellum 
measure each .057mm., in one paratype each .061mm., while in 
the other paratype the antennae are broken. The characters used 
by Baker in his kej" in regard to the sculpture of the propodeum, 
would separate the type of albipes from similis, but seem subject 
to some variation, the condition in the parat\’'pes somewhat 
approaching the condition described for similis.
