species a)nabilis belongs to the preceding genus, Hexachceta, instead 

 of to Anasirepha, under whicli it is ])laced in the catalogue. 



Acidia uncinata, sp. nov. 



Yellow, the abdomen largely brownish red, two spots on the metanotum, one on 

 each side of the second abdominal segment and the ovipositor black, the hairs, 

 bristles and antennal arista except its base, also black. Front, except the nanow 

 lateral margins, reddish yellow, slightly longer than wide, face strongly retreating at 

 the oral margin, antennre three-fourths as long as the face, the third joint nearly 

 twice as long as wide, rounded at the apex ; body polished, scutellum bearing four 

 bristles ; ovipositor convex, scarcely longer than the preceding abdominal segment ; 

 wings yellow, dark brown and hyaline ; the brown forms a spot on the humeral 

 crossvein, a larger one covering the stigma, a small one in base of third posterior cell, 

 another in its apex extending upward along the hind crossvein, finally a broad border 

 to the wing from a short distance beyond apex of first vein to beyond apex of the 

 fourtn ; an elongate, whitish hyaline spot in middle of costal cell, another beyond 

 middle of the first basal, one beyond apex of first vein extending to the third just 

 before the small crossvein, a large one filling middle of first and second posterior 

 cells encroaching on the submarginal and almost crossing the discal between the small 

 and hind crossveins ; axillary angle and middle of third posterior cell also hyaline ; 

 third vein bristly over almost its entire length, small crossvein near last third of discal 

 cell ; length, 5 mm. 



Habitat : Ft. Wrangle, Alaska. 



A female specimen collected by Prof. H. F. Wickham. Type No. 

 4396, U. S. National Museum. 



Acidia fausta and sitavis belong to Rhagoletis ; the small crossvein 

 is near or before the middle of the discal cell. 



Epoch ra rubida, sp. nov. 



Yellow, the front, except its lateral margins, and the body reddish yellow, meta- 

 notum very thinly pruinose with grayish and marked with five indistinct darker vittse, 

 body otherwise polished, the hairs and bristles black ; face almost straight, slightly 

 produced at the oral margin ; third antennal joint rounded at the apex, scutellum 

 bearing four bristles ; ovipositor convex, scarcely longer than preceding segment of 

 abdomen ; wings hyaline, marked with five yellowish or brown crossbands ; the first 

 begins at the humeral crossvein and extends to the anal cell where it is connected 

 with the second band ; the latter begins on the stigma and extends to the apex of the 

 anal cell ; the third band begins a short distance beyond apex of first vein, passes 

 over the small crossvein and almost reaches the hind margin of the wing slightly 

 beyond apex of sixth vein ; the fourth band begins a short distance before tip of 

 second vein and passes over the hind crossvein ; the fifth band begins at the costal 

 end of the fourth and borders the wing to slightly beyond apex of fourth vein ; third 

 vein bristly to slightly beyond the small crossvein, the latter noticeably beyond middle 

 of discal cell ; length, 5 mm. 



Habitat : Colorado.
