REVISION OF TRIBE ERRHOMEXELLINI — OMAN 167 



ones), the median spot on the crown, and the spots below the ocelli 

 may be inconspicuous or absent, but the remainin<v spots are nearly 

 always distinct. Fore wings subhyaline, sometimes with the cells 

 golden-yellow. 



Head slightly more pointed than in frivnata, otherwise similar. 

 Posterior margin of seventh sternite slightly produced and shallowly 

 notched medially. Male plates slender, nearly three times as long as 

 basal width, together slightly troughlike, not so flat as in tnunata; 

 tips blunt ; surface set with numerous setae. 



Male pygofer without processes. Aedeagus stout, extending dor- 

 sad and slightly caudad, bearing near the tip a pair of tapered 

 processes that extend first ventrad and then laterad. 



Z>/,s//■^/!)^^/^o/^.— Kecorded only from California. The types are from 

 Los Angeles County (Coquillett and Koebele), Pasadena (Fall), and 

 Marin County (Fuchs). It is probable that the specimens from 

 Marin County are not IS-pinxctata but confusa. Kirkaldy's octo- 

 punctata from the Santa Barbara foothills appears to be based on an 

 example of 13-ptmctata that lacks the pronotal spots and the spots 

 below the ocelli. This is a common variation and is not believed to 

 be worthy of a name. Other localities represented in the material at 

 hand are Lancaster (Uhler collection). Mint Canyon (Oman), and 

 above Mint Canyon (Oman). Mint Canyon is between Saugus and 

 Palmdale. The above records indicate a rather limited distribution 

 in the low hills near Los Angeles. 



PAGARONIA CONFUSA, new species 



Plate 5, Figures 3, 3A 



Superficially identical with 13 -punctata, with which it has ap- 

 parently been confused, but with the male plates broader and the 

 lateral processes of the aedeagus not curved. Length 8-9.5 mm. 



General color as in IS-puiictata. Spots below ocelli and lateral 

 spots on pronotum usually absent. Cells of fore wings of males pale 

 orange-yellow, of females pale yellow to pale sordid yellow. 



Head slightly more pointed than in 13-punctata. Seventh sternite 

 of female as in 13-punctata. Male plates relatively slender, but dis- 

 tinctly broadened near base and then tapering to bluntly rounded 

 tips; surface set with numerous setae. 



Pygofer without processes. Aedeagus long and slender, curved 

 dorsad posteriorly; apex with a pair of slender, pointed processes 

 which extend ventrad and laterad.
