June, I9IO.J Banks : New Psammocharid^. 125 



submarginal cells subequal, the third only slightly narrowed above and below, 

 much shorter than in P. mellipes, first recurrent at middle of second sub- 

 marginal cell, second recurrent before middle of third submarginal. Length, 

 7.5 mm. 



From Fedor, Lee Co., Texas, 21 June (Birkmann). 

 Pseudagenia metallica, new species. 



Female. — Head black, with rather long white hair ; silvery below the 

 antenna ; thorax dark purplish metallic, metathorax with long white hair ; 

 abdomen purplish black, with fine grayish pile except on the first and apical 

 segments, legs black. Clypeus large, rounded in front, margined ; a faint line 

 from antennae to ocelli ; antennae short, but the third joint is nearly twice 

 as long as the first ; anterior ocellus a little more than diameter from laterals, 

 these much nearer each other than to the eyes ; inner orbits slightly and 

 evenly concave ; vertex nearly straight across, pronotum very short, slightly 

 angulate behind ; metathorax rather long, evenly rounded, median groove 

 very faint. Abdomen rather long petiolate, slender toward tip and subcom- 

 pressed, last segment concave above, beneath dull gray with some long white 

 hairs ; legs slender ; anterior coxae one half their length from reaching mid 

 coxje, middle and hind tibiae spined much as in P. blaisdelli ; longer spur of 

 hind tibiae scarcely one half length of metatarsus, no spines below on last 

 hind tarsal joint. Wings slightly 'and evenly infuscate ; stigma black ; mar- 

 ginal cell long, acute ; second and third submarginal cells much longer than 

 broad, the third rather larger, and one third narrowed above, first recur- 

 rent at middle ; second recurrent arising much beyond middle of anal cell, 

 bowed outward, and meeting the third submarginal before middle. Venation 

 much as in P. blaisdelli. Length, 9 mm.

 Pseudagenia texana, new species. 



Male. — Black, mostly with very short silvery pubescence, most evident on 

 face and clypeus, some parts of thorax, and the coxae. Clypeus slightly rounded, 

 frontal stria very faint ; vertex rounded ; face rather long, anterior ocellus a 

 little more than diameter from laterals ; pronotum arcuate behind, mesothorax 

 plainly tricostate above ; metathorax elongate, faintly rounded ; abdomen small, 

 slender, apical segment white above. Legs slender, anterior pair rufous 

 beyond the middle of femora, middle pair reddish on apical half of femora, 

 tarsi brownish, hind pair with femora reddish, except extreme base, tibia with 

 basal half somewhat reddish, tarsi black ; longer spur of hind tibiae reaching 

 beyond middle of metatarsus^. Wings grayish hyaline, apex darker, third 

 submarginal cell barely longer than second, narrowed above, second acute at 

 base, marginal cell rather blunt at tip, second recurrent arising beyond middle 

 of anal cell, curving outward obliquely to middle of third submarginal ; basal 

 cross-veins interstitial ; stigma dark. Length, 7 mm.
