often narrowly white and base of tibia often stramineous; front and 

 middle tarsi pale fulvous, their fifth segments brown; hind coxa, 

 trochaiUers, femur, and tibia ferruginous, the tibia a little paler 

 toward base and fuscous toward apex; first and last segments of hind 

 tarsus blackish, the apical 0.3 ± of the first segment white; segments 

 2-4 of hind tarsus white; first 4 segments of abdomen ferruginous, the 

 fifth entirely black or basally ferruginous, the sixth, seventh, and eighth 

 black, the seventh with an elongate median apical white spot, or in 

 some smaller specimens the white spot lacldng. 



Female : Head black, the clypeus usually white medially, sometimes 

 ferruginous medially or entirely black; mandible blackish or more or 

 less ferruginous; palpi dark brown; antenna black, the flagellum dark 

 bro^vnish basally and with a median white band, incomplete below, 

 that covers about 4 segments; thorax black, the tegula blackish, the 

 collar, small mark on subtegular ridge, scutellum at least centrally, 

 and sometimes postscutellum, white; front and middle legs ferruginous, 

 their trochanters, upper side of tibiae, tarsi apically, and the front 

 coxa usually more or less infuscate; hind coxa, trochanter, and femur 

 ferruginous, the apex of femur and the first trochanter often more or 

 less infuscate; hind tibia fuscous, ferruginous basally; segments 1 and 

 5 of hind tarsus fuscous, the apex of fii'st segment often paler; segments 

 2-4 of hind tarsus white, their apices often fulvous, or rarely these 

 segments partly brownish; wings with a faint brown tinge; abdomen 

 ferruginous, the fourth segment often partly or entirely black, the 

 fifth and following segments black except for a median apical white

 eighth. 



Five females at hand are somewhat intermediate to the subspecies 

 newcomeri, at least according to the key characters, but seem best 

 placed under notata. These are: one from Niagara Glen, Ont., with 

 segments 2-4 of hind tarsus light brown and the white spots on tergites 

 7 and 8 obsolescent; one from Edmonton, Alta., with the second seg- 

 ment of hind tarsus dark brown, but with some faint white blotches 

 and with normal sized white spots on tergites 7 and 8; two from Boul- 

 der Canyon, Colo., with segments 2-4 of hind tarsus medium bro-wm, 1 

 of them with normal-sized white spots on tergites 7 and 8, and 1 

 without spots; and one from Colorado with segment 2 of hind tarsus 

 dark brown, segments 3 and 4 pale brown, and the white spots on 

 tergites 7 and 8 rather small. 



There is in the Provincial Museum of Quebec a specimen, labeled 

 "type" of Cry plus belangeri, that is Gambrus canadensis. It does not, 

 however, fit the original description, which calls for the scutellum, 

 segments 2-4 of hind tarsus, and spots on last two abdominal tergites
