margin, and a large, irregular blotch between each ocellus and the 

 adjacent eye. Pronotuni with irregular black to fuscous marks on 

 anterior one-half, especially laterally. Scutelluni with a pair of 

 faint spots on disk and sometimes faint basal triangles. All the 

 markings on the head and thorax are subject to considerable variation 

 in size, shape, and intensity. Fore wings of female sordid subhya- 

 line with faint reddish brown in cells ; fore wings of male usually with 

 cells distinctly red or reddish brown, veins pale. Hind wings smoky 

 subhyaline. Abdomen usually with extensive fuscous markings. 



Median length of crown slightly less than width of crown at 

 anterior margin of eyes; median length of pronotum slightly greater 

 than median length of crown. Posterior margin of seventh sternite 

 of female slightly produced and with a faint notch medially. Male 

 plates long, slender, and nearly parallel-sided; length over three 

 times their combined basal width; tips bluntly pointed; distal two- 

 thirds set with numerous setae. 



Posterior nuirgin of male pygofer with two pairs of slender, finger- 

 like processes, the ventral pair extending dorsad and slightly caudad, 

 the dorsal pair much shorter and directed caudad. Aedeagus stout; 

 the portion carrying the ejaculatory duct extending first dorsad and 

 then caudad; the apex obliquely truncate in lateral vicAv, bifurcate in 

 dorsal view. 



Dist/nhution. — Known only from California. In addition to the 

 types, which are from Santa Clara County (Coquillett) and Santa 

 Cruz Mountains (Koebele), there are examples at hand from Salinas 

 (Ball), Alameda (Van Dyke), Honda (Oman), and specimens from 

 the Uhler collection labeled "Congr.," which presumably means either 

 Congress Junction or Congress Springs, both localities in Santa Clara 

 County. The above localities indicate a rather limited distribution in 

 the coastal hills near San Francisco.
