Pseudagenia coerulescens Dahlb. 



Female. — Head and thorax bluish black, clothed with silvery pubescence ; 

 clypeus mostly pale yellowish, but upper part dark, rather strongly rounded out 

 on the lower margin ; antennae pale reddish brown, second joint darker, third 

 joint a little longer than first, a faint line from antennje to anterior ocellus, 

 latter scarcely more than diameter from the laterals, these a little nearer to 

 each other than to the eyes, vertex slightly rounded, front and vertex with 

 rather long hair ; pronotum arcuate behind ; metanotum rather short, evenly 

 rounded, no impressed median line, posterior sides heavily white pubescent, 

 dorsum clothed with fine white erect hair ; coxre bluish, femora reddish, rest of 

 legs brownish or nearly black, spurs brown, long one on hind tibia one half 

 the length of metatarsus ; abdomen dull black, hairy at tip, last segment with 

 elongate, basally rounded, shining pygidial area. Wings nearly hyaline, scarcely 

 smoky, not darker at tip, third submarginal cell longer than the second, and 

 broad at tip, receiving the second recurrent before the middle, this vein arising 

 very much beyond the middle of anal cell, basal veins interstitial ; in hind 

 wings the cubital arises beyond the cell. 



Length 8.5 mm. 



Fedor, Lee Co., Texas (Birkmann). 



A male, which appears to belong here, has the face below antennai 

 pale yellow, except a median dark spot on clypeus ; the antennae are 

 dark above and paler beneath, anterior legs are all pale yellowish 

 brown, mid legs all except coxae, but rather darker on tarsi, the hind 

 femora pale, the long spur reaching beyond middle of metatarsus. 



Pseudagenia feroculis, new species. 



Male. — Black throughout. Clypeus broad, truncate below, margin elevated ; 

 antenna; moderately stout, no line to anterior ocellus, this scarcely more than 

 diameter from laterals, these as near eyes as to each other ; vertex rounded, 

 head very broad ; pronotum arcuate behind ; metanotum short, broad, rounded, 

 finely punctate, with a median groove ; abdomen dull black, quite long, apical 

 segment broad, long-haired below ; head, thorax, abdomen and coxae densely 

 black-haired, also some on the femora, long spur of the hind tibia scarcely one 

 half of metatarsus. Both pairs of wings deep black, second submarginal 

 square, receiving the first recurrent near the middle ; third submarginal much 

 longer than second, the second recurrent vein arising at outer third of anal cell, 

 meeting the third submarginal before middle, the basal vein rounded at base, 

 and before the transverse vein ; in hind wing the cubitus is interstitial with end 

 of cell. 



Length 13 mm. 



From Coryell Co., Texas, May (Birkmann).
