20 KANSAS UNIVKKSIIN' nU ARTE RLV. 



Face grayish-yellow; front greenish-bronze; first joint of antennae 

 narrowly black above, the remainder red. Dorsum of thorax bronze- 

 green, considerably dusted; pleurae blackish, with gray dust. Abdo- 

 men shining bronze, scarcely at all greenish, before the incisures 

 somewhat coppery. Hypopygium black, at base dusted, the lamellae 

 whitish, rounded, with the usual jagged black margin and curved 

 bristles at the apex. Fore coxae yellow, with coarse black hairs in 

 front; middle and hind coxae black, with \-ellow tips. Femora and 

 tibiae yellow, the hind ones simple. Fore tarsi 1/2 times as long as 

 the tibiae; last two joints slightly enlarged, black, with long hairs 

 above; fifth joint as long as the third, not half as wide as long; 

 empodiura forming a small snow-white plume; third and second joints 

 of tarsus gradually infuscated toward the tip. Middle and hind tarsi 

 wanting in the described specimen. Wings almost hyaline, flexure 

 of fourth vein cjuite abrupt, costa not swollen. 



Length, 5.2 mm.; of wing 4.8 mm. 



A single male; California (Coquillett). 



The hind tarsi being broken off, I have trusted to the general 

 appearance of the specimen in assigning it a place in the table. The 

 fore tarsi of the male would in themselves distinguish the species. 

 See the figure. 



Dolichopus scapularis Loew. 



Numerous specimens: Douglas Co., Kans. (U. K.), Northumberland 

 Co., Pa. (Klages), Ohio (Weed), Knoxville, Tenn. (Summers). Dates 

 of capture at Knoxville, May 19 to June 27; in Kansas, June 18 to 

 July 7. The fore tarsi of the male are over once and a half the length 

 of the tibiae, the same mistake occuring in Loew's monograph as in 

 the following species. 



Dolichopus funditor I^kw. 



Four males, one female, N. J. and Pa. (Johnson); June 28 to July 

 25. Loew's description should give the length of the fore tarsi as 

 over once and a half that of the tibiae, instead of once and a quarter. 

 I do not doubt that I have the females of this and the preceding 

 species correctly determined, but I base the decision on the locality 

 labels, associating each female with males from the same place. 

 There appear to be no distinctive characters whatever. 



Dolichopus aurifacies, n. sp. 



Antennae red, cilia of inferior orbit pale, of tegulae black; legs 

 yellow, hind tarsi at base yellow. 



Male. Face narrow, pure golden yellow; antennae red, third joint 

 sometimes a little infuscated; front shining green. Dorsum of thorax
