This syiionyui.y is original with the writer, and, in the case of Dre- 

 panoglossa, is based upon cotypes received from Mr. Townsend. The 

 open or closed apical C/Cll is not a character of generic importance; in 

 a given species, some specimens have it open wliile in others it is 

 closed. All of our species have on the fourth segment of the abdomen 

 only a submarginal row of macrocha^tte :

cliaitai 2. 



Femora and tibiai black 4.

Scutellum and proboscis black, the latter beyond the basal articu- 

 lation one and one-third times as long as height of head, fonrth 

 segment of abdomen reddish yellow, sides of flrst two segments 

 usually yellow; length, 4 to 7 mm. Tifton, Ga. (Trans. Amer.
