'This is the female of barbata; in the description of the latter, through an error in 
the printing, the male sign ( f ) was used in the place of the female (9 ), and vice versa. 
The two females from California under barbata do not have discal macrochwetie on 
the second and third segments of the abdomen, as erroneously stated in the descrip- 
tion; they belong to vanderwulpi Town.
