white and spiny. Apices of tarsal joints witli yellow, spiny hairs. Tibial spurs 

 long, dark yellow. Claws ferruginous to yellow, apically cleft. First joint 

 of hind tarsi rectangiilar, about four times as long as broad. 



Genitalia — (Fig. 76.). Stipes stout, notched; apex very short and blunt, 

 covered with tuft of long hair. Inner margin of middle portion with few 

 long hairs. Sagittal rods long, extending one-fourth of their length beyond 

 the stipites. Membranous wing extending back to near the end of the volsella. 

 Volsella very large and prominent. Seventh ventral plate very small and 

 broad ; each wing extending diagonally outward, instead of straight forward. 

 Entire anterior portion haired. On the inner margin of the basal portion is 

 a sort of ridge, crowned with a row of long, curved spines. 



This species may be found to be near C. prosopidis Ckll., or some allied 

 species. The very short malar space would indicate that it is not C. prosopidis, 

 however. 



Type locality, Guailalajara, Mexico. Described from two males. 



Collates moctezuuiensis n. sp.

 sized, round punctures almost lacking on the disk. Posterior two-thirds of 

 scutellum with large round punctures, quite close together ; anterior part 

 smooth but not shining; posterior and lateral margins with long hair, nearly 

 covering scutellum. Postscutellum rugulose ; the rugae of anterior part pit 

 like. Superior face of metathorax with usual shining pits. Enclosure of 

 posterior face broadly funnel shaped, shining; lateral faces surrounding it 

 shining, with broad shallow punctures forming rugae. Prothoracic spine short,
