Proc. Ac. ISTat. Sci. Philad. for 1907, p. 486), as being un- 

 known to him. A single female collected by Mr. Giffard at 

 Santa Barbara foot-hills last July, seems to agree with Stal's 

 short description. The following additions may be made there- 

 to, premising that it belongs to the typical subgenus, (cf. 

 Kirkaldy 1907 Bull. II, S. P. A. Ent. Ill (not '111' as Van 

 Duzee cites!) p. 107). The axillary vein of the clavus is more 

 than half the length of the stalk of the anal, and runs into the 

 latter vein basal of its middle; the tegminal veins are rather 

 thickly granulate, as regards, at least, those basal of the mem- 

 brane, the granules being dark on the pale veinSj the apical 

 veins dark. 



2. Danepteryx barharae sp. nov. 



This is close to D. manca Uhler, but dii^ers by the basally truncate 

 frons, which is also much wider in propoi'tion, widening towards the 

 apex. The vertex is shorter and wider, the lateral margins parallel, 

 (converging very slightly anteriorwards, if anything), the anterior 

 margin very obtuse-angled. The pronotum is rather more produced 

 anteriorly, its lateral margins more arched. Antennae yellowish- 

 testaceous. The tegmina vary in length. 



Length 2 5| mill. 



Hab: California, Santa Barbara foot-hills, July (Giffard). 



3. D. artemisiae sp. nov. 



Smaller and much darker than the last, but the head structure 

 is very similar; the frons is narrower, though at the same time it is 

 distinctly wider than in D. vianca. The general ground-color is dark 

 fuscous, the legs more heavily and darkly sprinkled than in the D. 

 barharae. Antennae dark fuscous. Tegmina piceous or blackish 

 (instead of yellowish-brown), with paler markings. The tegmina are 

 narrower, and the pronotum is shorter than in D. barharae, more so 

 even than in D. manca. 



Length 2 4| mill. 



Llab: California, Alameda, (Perkins), on Artemisia. 



The genus Danepteryx was founded by Uhler in 1888, the 

 species then erected, D. manca, being from Los Angeles, as 

 also D. liirida, described by Melichar in 1906. One of the new 

 ones now proposed is from Santa Barbara, and the other from 

 Alameda, so that the genus, although restricted, so far, to 

 California, seems to be well distributed over that State.
