4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.80 



type of canescens in the British Museum is a Ptilodexia^ quite distinct 

 from the present species, which is the species named Eutheresia 

 nionohaimni^ new genus and species, by Townsend.^ I have examined 

 with care the descriptions of three new species of Eutheresia by West 

 and two by Curran, but on comparing the series of 28 specimens in 

 the National Museum it seems that the pollen varies so much that I 

 do not feel much confidence in the specific value of the characters 

 offered for these species. I therefore tentatively allow our material 

 to stand as nnonohwinmi. 



1671. From G helymor'pha cassidea Fabricius {argus of authors). 

 Springfield, Mass., emerged July 12, 1900. Two males and two 

 females. The species was identified by Coquillett as Hypostena bar- 

 bata Coquillett, which was a mistake. I am describing it as Ayietia 

 dinwiocki in the present paper. 



1820. From the pupae of Monochamus scufellatus Say. Spring- 

 field, Mass., emerged May 14, 1901. Two males, the same species 

 as No. 591, Eutheresia monohammii Townsend. 



1937. From Geruchus piceus Weber. Springfield, Mass., emerged 

 June 13, 1901. One female in poor condition, but no doubt the same 

 as No. 591, EutJieresia monohammi Townsend. 



2032. From Xyloryctes sp. at Wilbraham, Mass. Emerged May, 

 1902. One male and four females, correctly identified by Coquillett 

 as Macroineigema chrysoprocta Wiedemann. 



2053. From Geruchus piceus Weber. Springfield, Mass., emerged 

 April 19, 1902. One female. Same as No. 591, Eutheresia mono- 

 ham.mi Townsend. 



2075. From Ghelymorpha cassidea Fabricius {argus of authors). 

 Chicopee, Mass. One male and three females, erroneously deter- 

 mined by Coquillett as Masicera exilis Coquillett. It is really the 

 same species as No. 1671. 



C. REARED FROM HYMENOPTERA 



1115. Reared from sawfly larvae on Phius rlglda at Canobie Lake, 

 N. H. Emerged about July 7, 1894. One small female of Phorocera 

 claripennis Macquart, as identified by Coquillett. 



1478. Found in wasp's nest, probably Odynerus^ containing dip- 

 terous pupae, at Hollys Ledge, Llolyoke, Mass., in October, 1898. 

 Flies emerged June, 1899. One male and two females of Pachyoph- 

 thalnius signatus Meigen. Correctly identified by Coquillett. 



D. REARED FROM DEAD BAT 



1356. Larvae in dead bat in barn, Springfield, Mass., eating all the 

 flesh, 1898. Eighteen specimens of the fly, both sexes. Sarcophaga 

 securifera Villeneuve. Identified by Coquillett as Sarcophaga sp.
