not quite reach the fourth vein, in which case the two cross-bands are connected along 

 this vein ; these bands are everywhere marked with hyaline or sub-hyaline mostly 

 roundish dots of various sizes ; besides these bands ther§ is also a small dot on the an- 

 terior margin midway between the anterior ends of the bands, and another at, or just 

 beyond, the tip of the fourth vein ; veins yellowish, except where crossed by the cross- 

 bands where they are brown ; first and third with bristles. Length, $ 4 mm. Two 

 males. 



Habitat: California.

(J . 9 • Yellow ; head and its appendages, bristles, pile and feet also yellow ; front 

 broad not narrowed anteriorly ; face somewhat receding with two distinct grooves for 

 the reception of the antennae ; cheeks broad ; oral margin not proj ecting ; proboscis 

 short, palpi rather long ; antennae not reaching to the middle of the face ; third joint 

 rounded ; arista incrassated at the base. Dorsum of thorax with a very light brownish 

 pollen ; scutellum with four bristles. Abdomen with rather long yellow pile and a 

 few bristles ; ovipositor flattened, about as long as the two preceding segments taken 

 together. The basal portions of the wings, with a yellowish tinge ; distal half dark 

 brown anteriorly, light brown posteriorly ; the dark coloring does not reach as far 

 posteriorly as the fourth vein except in the tip of the wing, where it reaches to or a 

 little beyond this vein ; the following whitish hyaline spots occur : two just beyond 

 the stigma, the first reaching nearly to the third vein, the second reaching only a little 

 beyond the second vein ; one in the sub-marginal cell just below the tip of the second 

 vein ; two in the first posterior cell, the inner one over the posterior cross vein ; four 

 in the second posterior cell ; one in the first basal cell ; two in the discal cell ; six or 

 seven in the third posterior cell and one or two in the anal comer of the wing ; as the 

 shading on the wing fades out posteriorly the hyaline dots behind the fifth vein are 

 less conspicuous ; stigma for the most part brown, basal portion yellowish ; first and 

 third veins with bristles. Length, $ 6.5 mm., 9 7-5 mm. One male, one female. 



Habitat : South Dakota. 



The reticulated wing picture of this species reminds one more of 

 Tephritis than of Euaresta, but the general structure and coloring of 

 the body and the bristly third vein seems to show a closer relationship 

 to the latter genus.
