  with 
  any 
  structural 
  differences, 
  whether 
  of 
  genitalia 
  or 
  otherwise, 
  

   although 
  it 
  is 
  noticeable 
  that 
  in 
  this 
  form 
  the 
  processes 
  of 
  the 
  eighth 
  

   tergite 
  often 
  are 
  shorter 
  than 
  in 
  northern 
  specimens. 
  

  

  The 
  obvious 
  question 
  as 
  to 
  whether 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  several 
  synonyms 
  of 
  

   Emesa 
  brevipennis 
  apply 
  to 
  this 
  subspecies 
  apparently 
  must 
  be 
  

   answered 
  in 
  the 
  negative. 
  Two 
  of 
  these 
  names, 
  longipes 
  De 
  Geer 
  and 
  

   pia 
  Amyot 
  and 
  Serville, 
  were 
  founded 
  on 
  specimens 
  coming 
  from 
  

   the 
  same 
  State 
  as 
  Say's 
  material, 
  namely 
  from 
  Pennsylvania, 
  where 
  

   only 
  one 
  form 
  is 
  known 
  to 
  occur. 
  E. 
  pia 
  Herrich-Schaffer 
  has 
  the 
  

   characters 
  of 
  the 
  old, 
  not 
  the 
  new, 
  subspecies, 
  and 
  choctaioana 
  Kirk- 
  

   aldy 
  applies 
  to 
  a 
  form 
  agreeing 
  in 
  description 
  with, 
  and 
  which 
  prob- 
  

   ably 
  is, 
  true 
  E. 
  brevipennis 
  Say. 
  Dohrn's 
  key 
  12 
  attributes 
  the 
  prin- 
  

   cipal 
  character 
  of 
  our 
  new 
  subspecies 
  to 
  E. 
  longipes 
  De 
  Geer, 
  but 
  his 
  

   fuller 
  description 
  (pp. 
  221-2), 
  based 
  on 
  De 
  Geer's 
  type, 
  contradicts 
  

   the 
  statement 
  in 
  the 
  key 
  ; 
  De 
  Geer's 
  description 
  does 
  not 
  mention 
  the 
  

   character 
  at 
  all, 
  and 
  his 
  name 
  is 
  unavailable, 
  as 
  we 
  have 
  noted 
  in 
  the 
  

   synonym}^.

  EMESAYA 
  BREVIPENNIS 
  OCCIDENTALIS, 
  new 
  subspecies. 
  

  

  A 
  pair 
  of 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  Uhler 
  Collection 
  (U. 
  S. 
  Nat. 
  Mus.) 
  

   marked 
  L. 
  Cal.

  as 
  holotype 
  (female) 
  and 
  allotype 
  

   (male) 
  of 
  this 
  subspecies. 
  The 
  general 
  color 
  is 
  rufo-stramineous 
  

   with 
  all 
  markings 
  whether 
  darker 
  or 
  paler 
  much 
  less 
  noticeable 
  

   than 
  in 
  E. 
  b. 
  brevipennis. 
  Length 
  31-34 
  mm. 
  

  

  A 
  paratype 
  female 
  from

  Calif., 
  July

   Johnson

  in 
  hypopygial 
  characters 
  (fig.

   but 
  is 
  much 
  shorter 
  (26 
  mm.) 
  and 
  somewhat 
  darker 
  in 
  coloration.
