EEVISION" OF GENUS CUPHOCERA EEINHARD 63 



unpublished manuscript name C. stricklandi Curran (New York 

 State List, p. 819). The allotype female and three paratypes (both 

 sexes) of Curran's proposed Trichophora stricklandi are now in the 

 Kansas University collection and were kindly loaned to me for study 

 by Dr. R. H. Beamer. 



(11) CUPHOCERA HIRSUTA (Townscnd) 



Deopalpus Jiirsutus Townsend, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 51, pp. 110-111, 



1908. 

 Cuphocera aurifrons ReinHxVbd, Ent. News, vol. 35, p. 54, 1924. 



Originally described from a single male specimen from Meadow 

 Valley, 7,300 feet, Chihuahua, Mexico. The type is in the United 

 States National Museum. Full descriptions of the species are read- 

 ily accessible, to which may be added the following additional items : 

 Front in male 0.362, in female 0.384, of the head width (average of 

 five specimens measured for each sex). Male genitalia reddish, with 

 the usual broad lateral lobe ; inner forceps united, ordinary in length 

 with the sides tapering rather sharply to the apical third, apex 

 narrow and rounded, hind surface on basal half usually flat or 

 slightly convex sometimes with a narrow shallow median groove; 

 outer forceps rather stout, tapering shortly before apex, inner sur- 

 face concave on apical third, in profile bowed backward with a 

 rather square shoulder near base behind; fifth sternite deeply di- 

 vided, the lobes reddish bearing a few black hairs along the margin 

 of the incision. 



The conspicuous pale or yellow ground color of the front readily 

 distinguishes the species from fucata, with which it apparently has 

 been confused. In Texas hirsuta is the commonest member of the 

 genus. It has been collected at College Station from April to 

 November. Additional locality records include Colorado, Kansas, 

 Ohio, and Illinois.

 men) , yellow in ground color, the sides subshining, thinly pollinose, 

 and clothed with black hairs; frontal stripe pale yellow, not very 

 sharply defined; ocellar bristles absent; inner verticals large and 

 decussate, the outer ones of nearly equal size, divaricate; frontal 

 bristles about eight in the row, the upper one largest, suberect, the 

 lower one at middle of parafacial near level with apex of second 

 antennal segment ; a second row of about four large frontal bristles 

 outside the lower part of the main row ; parafacial black haired with
