PSYCHE. 



[February, igoi. 



at flowers of Ranuniiilus, and it resem- 

 bles venis so closely that upon super- 

 ficial examination it could easily be mis- 

 taken for it ; however, the first recurrent 

 nervure in montaiiiis is interstitial with 

 the second transverso-cubital, and the 

 marginal cell is bent where it leaves the 

 costa, whereas in verus it is only curved. 



Andrena apacheorum Ckll. 



I 9. 



Halictus peraltus, n. sp. 



I $. Length hardly 7 mni. ; black; the 

 liroad anterior margin of the clypeus, and the 

 labrum (but not the mandibles) lemon yel- 

 low; fiagellimi beneath, except at the extreme 

 apex, pale chrome yellow ; knees, anterior 

 tibiae in front, and hind and middle tibiae 

 narrowly at apex, pale yellow; tarsi very pale 

 yellow, the last joint of the middle and hind 

 tarsi dark brown ; tubercles wholly black ; 

 tegulae shining piceous ; wings hyaline, 

 nervures and stigma very dark brown. Face 

 elongate, clypeus produced, clypeus and sides 

 of face covered with appressed shining white 

 hair ; vertex rough ; scape short, fiagellum 

 stout and \erv long; mesothorax dull, ini- 

 nutely roughened and with close punctures ; 

 enclosure of metathorax large, with numer- 

 ous longitudinal ridges connected by small 

 transverse ones ; first segment of abdomen 

 shining, with minute sparse punctures; fol- 

 lowing segments minutely sculptured so as 

 to have a satiny lustre. 



Differs from // arcuatus ^ by the color 

 of the antennae and other characters ; 

 from H. si III His $ by the color of the 

 nervures, entirely black tubercles, etc. 

 The second recurrent nervure enters the 

 third submarginal cell at least two-fifths 

 from its end, the lower apical angles of 

 the cell being produced, very differently 



from arcuatus and various related species, 

 such as olympiac and kincaidii. 



LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA 



(part) 



BY H. G. DVAR. 



Clisiocampa fragilis Str. 



Nemeophila petrosa \Vk. var geovt-

Crambus dumetellus Hbn. 



Loxostege sticticalis L. 



Tortrix fumiferana CI. 



Stenoptilia exclamationis Wals. (?) 

 Really too poor for certain determina- 

 tion, but agreeing with others (equally 

 poor) from Colorado (Bruce) which 

 Prof. Fernald thought might be exclama- 

 tionis, originally described from the 

 mountains of California. 



RHYNCHOTA HETEROPTERA. 



BY HERBERT OSBORN. 



Nysius thymi Wolff. Slightly more 

 opaque in elytra than usual. 



Lygaeus reclivatus Say. 



Harmostes reflexulus Say. 



Thyanta custator Fab. 



Leptopterna amoena Uhler. 



Camptobrochis ? sp. 



This species seems to come properly 

 in this genus, and near grandis but dif- 

 fers from my specimens in being much 

 darker and the head is not nearly so 

 vertical.
