Tephritis califonnca Doane and Urellia pacifica Doane are syno- 

 nyms of Eiiaresta araueosa Coquillett. 



Tephritis ivebbii Doane and Urellia aldrichii Doane, belong to 

 Eiiaresta. 



- Urellia actiuobola Loew and Solaris Loew, are synonyms of Try- 

 peta vievarna Walker, which is a true Urellia. 

 Urellia stigmatica, sp. nov. 



Head and its members yellow, center of occiput grayish black, third joint of an- 

 tennas evenly rounded at the apex ; body black, opaque, densely gray pruinose, the 

 hairs whitish, bristles black, scutellum bearing four strong bristles, ovipositor flattened, 

 almost as long as the last two abdominal segments ; legs yellow, middle femora des- 

 titute of bristles on the under side ; wings hyaline, a large black spot toward the apex, 

 containing two small hyaline spots, one just beyond apex of second vein, the others 

 on front side of fourth vein almost above the hind crossvein, and sending nine rays 

 towards the wing-margin, all of which reach it except the two which cross the discal 

 cell ; the first ray, which is very much broader than any of the others, extends ob- 

 liquely from the region of the small crossvein to the stigma which it fills excepting the 

 lower basal corner, and also fills apex of first basal cell to middle of discal cell ; the 

 second ray crosses the marginal cell midway between apices of the first and second 

 veins, the next two extend to the apices of the third and fourth veins, the following 

 two cross the second basal cell, the next one borders the hind crossvein, the remain- 

 ing two cross the discal cell, the first stopping a short distance from the wing-margin, 

 the other ending in the center of the third posterior cell ; third vein bare ; length, 

 4 mm. 



Habitat: Colorado. A specimen of each sex. Type No. 4409, 

 U. S. Nat. Museum. 

 Urellia bisetosa, sp. nov. 



Differs from the above description of sti^^matica as follows : Third joint of an- 

 tennae very oblique at apex, the front corner rounded, scutellum bearing only two 

 bristles, ovipositor longer than the last three segments of the abdomen, black spot of 

 •wings sends out only eight rays, only one crossing the discal cell and this one stops at 

 the fifth vein, the ray which in the preceding species extends to the center of the third 

 posterior cell, is wanting in the present species ; length, 4 mm. 



Habitat: Las Cruces, N. Mexico (T. D. A. Cockerell), and 

 Marysvale, Utah (M. E. Jones). A specimen of each sex. 

 Type No. 4410, U. S. Nat. Museum. 



Urellia nigricornis, sp. nov. 



Differs from stigmatica as follows : Third joint of antennae black, very oblique 

 at its apex, scutellum bearing only two bristles, middle femora each bearing two or 

 three long bristles on the under side just beyond the middle, no hyaline spot near 

 apex of second vein, the black spot of wings sends out only six rays, none of which go 

 to apex of the fourth vein nor cross the discal cell ; the ray extending to the stigma is 

 in the form of a subquadrate spot, two of its sides being nearly perpendicular to the
