which are quite persistent in different angles of view ; 

 segments 1, 2, and 3, with only lateral bristles, or at 

 most the third with a very small, depressed pair, hard- 

 ly noticeable; fourth segment with a row of about 14. 



Hypopygium rather large ; first segment reddish 

 brown, somewhat pruinose, with a row of stout, small 

 bristles at hind margin; second segment globose, red, 

 a little pruinose behind, not bristly; forceps slender, 

 tapering, gently curved forward at apex, red for more 

 than half their length ; penis ending in two divergent 

 black, curved, shining processes, each of which divides 

 distally into three points; middle part of penis shin- 

 ing black, broad, with two lateral lobes and two cen- 

 tral ones that bear numerous minute teeth pointing 

 forward; posterior claspers longer than front one. 



Legs black ; middle femur with a short comb behind 

 and below at tip, consisting of only half a dozen blunt 

 spines; middle tibia with two bristles on outer front 

 side near middle; hind tibia with moderate villosity 

 spreading both ways; pulvilli and claws elongated; 

 anterior tarsi with some longer hairs underneath at 

 base. 



Wings hyaline, third costal segment longer than 

 fifth; no costal spine; third vein with about 8 hairs.

 Four males: Two are from Pine Lake, Calif., col-

 C. F. Baker; one Moscow, Idaho, collected by the

Holotype.— Male, No. 20500, in \J. S. N. M., 

 from Pine Lake, Calif. 



The absence of the median marginals on the third 

 segment is a cliaracter which will probably aid in con- 

 necting the females with this species.
