A female from Virginia has hyaline wings without any trace 

 of grayish at the tip, thus agreeing with the Canadian female 

 mentioned by Loew in Berl. Ent. Zeit. This is a very pilose 

 species; the pile upon the prothorax, pleurae and tibiae being 

 very long and fine. 



Middle tarsi of male with brushes of black bristles.

 "% 9- — Length, % 11-12 mm.; 9,ll-13mw. — %. — Black; thoracic 

 dorsum with a very weak brownish bloom, forming an indistinct gem- 

 inate stripe in the middle and some ill-defined marks on the sides; 

 long white pile on the face, the lower part of the occiput, front part of 

 the thorax, fore coxae and the sides of the first two abdominal segments; 

 black pile on the remainder of the abdomen and the top of the head; 

 some scattered black hairs in the mystax above the mouth. Femora 

 black, with long, soft, white pile; tibias reddish, beset with blackish 

 pile; tarsi black, except the first segment of the hind four tarsi, which 

 is often reddish to a greater or less extent from the root; the front 

 tarsi, beginning with the second segment, are densely beset on their 

 upper side with recumbent, short, silvery hairs, parted in the middle; 

 the under side of the same segment is densely beset on both sides with 

 short black bristles; the last two segments of the middle tarsi have 

 on each side a dense, flattened tuft of black bristles, which form to- 

 gether a kind of disk, which is a little broader than long. Wings 

 grayish hyaline, more hyaline on the proximal half. 



9 . — Head, and especially the face, covered with dense whitish-gray 

 bloom, the thoracic dorsum covered with a bi^ownish-gray bloom, 

 completely concealing the black ground color, except at the four 

 corners and on the scutellum, which is black, polished; a geminate 

 darker line in the middle of the dorsum, not reaching the scutellum; 

 pleurae likewise clothed with a dense yellowish-gray bloom. Abdomen 

 polished black, the hind margins of segments 2-5 with white triangles 

 on each side. The hairs on head and thorax are like those of the male, 

 but of a less pure white; the white hair on the sides of the abdomen 

 reaches to its tip, gradually becoming shorter. Legs like those of the
