.\Lclissodes cpidiarina, n. sp. 
9 Length nearly 12 mm., rather stout, with a long-oval, convex abdomen; 
black head and thorax with abundant white pubescence, becoming mouse-color 
dorsally, with much black on vertex; mesothorax except in front, and scutellum; 
eyes dark grey-brown; facial quadrangle broader than long; clypeus strongly and 
extremely and densely punctured; labrum covered with white hair; mandibles 
entirely black; flagellum bright ferruginous beneath beyond second joint; meso- 
thorax moderately shining, with distinct, not very close punctures; scutellum more 
closely punctured; tegulae piceous, with light hair, and a few black hairs inter- 
mixed; wings strongly dusky, with a reddish tint; nervures piceous; second s. m. 
broad but oblique, not narrowed above, receiving the first r. n. not far from its 
end; third s. m. narrowed rather more than half to marginal; legs black, small 
joints of middle tarsi, and hind tarsi, becoming ferruginous; hair of legs pale, 
ferruginous on inner side of tarsi, scopa of hind legs yellowish and strongly 
plumose; abdomen with light hair at base and sides, and long recumbent 
yellowish hairs on third and fourth segments, not abundant enough to alter the 
general dull black effect; on second segment is an even, rather broad, entire sub- 
apical band of cream-colored tomentum; two apical segments with black hair, 
tufts of white showing laterally; ventral segments fringed with pale hair, hair on 
last segment fuscous. The middle trochanters, and the adjacent base of their 
femora, have each a curious patch of ferruginous pubescence. Third joint of 
maxillary palpi long; fourth well-developed and cylindrical. 
ILab. — Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona, 6eoo ft., July {E. //. Snow). Very dis- 
tinct by the one-banded abdomen, which gives it a curious superficial resemblance 
to Epicharis tnncuZata Smith. A variety (Snow 443) has two bands, the addi- 
tional one at the base of the second segment; in this example the eyes are sea- 
green. This may be called var. a.
