AMERICAN DIPTERA. 271 



fore not parted in the middle; in callipedilus and cymhalista the silvery 

 hairs are found both on the outer and inner side of the upper part of 

 the tarsi, and are parted in the middle; some silvery pile on the outside 

 of the first segment; the last two segments of the tarsi with a disk- 

 shaped, flat brush of black bristles, as in callipedilus and cymbalista; 

 pul villi blackish-brown; all the femora and the four posterior tibiae 

 beset with long pale yellowish pile. Wings grayish hyaline. 



9 . — Like the male, except in the sexual ornamentation of the front 

 and middle tarsi, etc. Abdomen black, polished, the sides densely 

 beset with pale yellowish-white pile, through which, on segments 2-5, 

 the white pruinose spots in the hind corners of the segments are 

 visible. Will be easily distinguished from C. callipedilus female by its 

 pruinose scutellum, less densely pruinose thoracic dorsum, more yel- 

 lowish pile of the face and thorax, etc." 



Type. — M. C. Z. Four male and two female specimens. 



Habitat. — Morino Valley, N. M. (July 1); Spanish Peakes, 

 Col. (June); Sioux Co., Nebr. ; Cache Valley, Utah; divide be- 

 tween Idaho and Montana. 



I have referred a male specimen from Gallatin Valley, Mont. 

 (July 6, R. A. Cooley), to this species. 



Cyrtopogon praepes.
