98 THOMAS SAY FOUNDATION 



Legs black; middle femur with distinct comb 

 behind on lower side near tip; middle tibia with two 

 bristles on outer front side ; hind tibiae not villous. 



Wings hyaline; no costal spine; third costal seg- 

 ment about three fourths as long as the fifth ; first vein 

 bare; third with several bristles. 



Female. Eleven females reared with Mr. Jones's 

 males belong without much doubt here. Eight of 

 them have the large, erect macrochast^e on the margin 

 of the second segment, as in the males ; in three these 

 are small or absent. The genital segments are red in 

 all, except the deeply emarginate fifth sternite, which 

 is black in most. Aside from the presence of the bris- 

 tles on the second segment, I see no characters to dis- 

 tinguish these females from those of rileyi, jonesi, and 

 celai'ata. 



Length about 6^/^ mm. 



Eight males and eleven females. Two males are 

 from Aweme, Manitoba, June 19, 1903, collected by 

 James Fletcher and bearing his manuscript labels. 

 Y'we males and all the females were reared by F. M. 

 Jones from larvae in cups of Sarracenia ininor, rubra, 

 and purpurea, at Southern Pines, N. C, emerging 

 throughout August, 1916. One male, Tuckerton, N. 

 J., reared by Mr. Jones from Sarracenia pupurea. 

 One North Carolina male and three females lack the 

 median marginal bristles on the second abdominal 

 segment

 Sarracenia, see under sai'raceniae. 



Named in honor of James Fletcher, whose 

 charming personality and vigorous pioneering work 

 in Canadian entomology are vividly remembered
