THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 165 
brown, grayish pruinose; male hypopygium small, the appendages 
of the pleurite long and slender. 
Habitat. — California. 
Holotype. — cf , Bair's Ranch, Redwood Creek, Humboldt Co., 
Cal., June 12, 1903. (H. S. Barber). 
This species is much smaller than the related E. albihirta 
Alex., differing , moreover, in the shorter pile and the differently 
constructed male h^^popygium. 
Eriocera rubrinota, new species. 
Coloration of the thoracic dorsum rusty red, remainder of the 
body, including the basal plates of the ovipositor, dark brown; 
cell M\ absent. 
Female. — Length 13 mm.; wing 11.5 mm. 
Rostrum very short, brown; palpi dark brown with an indis- 
tinct grayish bloom and an indistinct median brownish line; ver- 
tical tubercle low with a deep notch. 
Pronotum and mesonotum deep, rusty red without apparent 
markings. Pleura dark brown. Halteres dark brown, the ex- 
treme bases lighter coloured. Legs with the coxae and trochanters 
dark brown; femora dark brown, yellow at their bases, these pale 
basal portions narrowest on the fore legs, broadest on the hind 
legs; tibiie and tarsi dark brown. Wings suffused with brow^n; 
veins dark brown. Venation: Sc ending slightly beyond the 
middle of Ri+z; R-i+z a little shorter than Ri alone; cross-vein 
r inserted on Ri, some distance beyond the fork of Ri+z; basal 
deflection of Cm just beyond the fork of M. 
Abdomen dark, shiny, blackish brown, including the basal 
portions of the ovipositor. 
Holotype. — 9 , in the collection of Kansas L^niversity, labeled 
"No. 40" without locality, but almost certainly from Western 
America, along with the other Williston material in the collec- 
tion. 
This species is abundantly different from all the forms de- 
scribed from the New World. It comes in the group with E. 
fidiginosa O. S., E. tristis Alex., etc., but is readily separated from 
them by the coloration of the mesonotum and the colour and 
structure of the ovipositor.
