106 Psyche [June 



Type, TD4135 (female fly, reproductive system, first-stage maggot). Has 

 strap-like uterus and deposits blackish maggots, probably on foliage. 



Eudejeania alpina n. sp. 



Length of body to ends of spines, 20 mm.; of wing, 16.5 mm.; of palpi, 5 mm.; 

 width of abdomen, 11 mm. Two females, Pachacayo valley, about 12,000 feet, 

 with preceding species on same flowers, March 28, 1913. 



Differs from Eudejeania punensis T. by its much larger size and by the following 

 colorational characters : — Head deeply fuscous, practically black, only narrow orbits 

 and wider border in front of eyes brassy. Antennae wholly black. Frontalia 

 silvery to tawny pollinose in oblique view. Palpi yellowish or tawny, but deeply 

 tinged with smoky. Occipital pile golden to brassy. Wings deeply smoky through- 

 out including bases; veins brown to blackish, not showing yellowish to the unaided 

 eye. Legs slightly deeper rust-yellow, the femora more reddish. 



Type, TD4139 (female fly, reproductive system). 



It should be noted here that the writer, in all of his collecting, 

 has never before found such an abundance of Dejeaniine flies in 

 the height of activity as that encountered at the above-mentioned 

 locality in Pachacayo valley, forty-five of the above specimens 

 having been taken there in an hour or so of fitful sun and rain 

 during the forenoon of March 28. Hundreds of E. punensis 

 could doubtless have been collected in the locality had sun and time 

 permitted. An approach to such abundance, but in a state of 

 dulled activity, was encountered in October, 1895, in the Sacra- 

 mento Mountains of southern New Mexico (Ann. & Mag. N. H., 

 6th ser., vol. 19, No. 110, pp. 144-145).
