to limbatus Cresson and harringtoni n. sp., yet differs sufficiently, par-

is possible that this is an introduced species, but if so it seems not to 
have been described abroad. It was found abundantly on Russian 
willow introduced into Canada by the late Charles Gibbs. 
13. Pteronus kincaidi new species. 
Female.—Length 6.5 mm.; rather robust; abdomen broad, scarcely 
tapering until near tip; clypeus distinctly emarginate, lobes broad and 
rounded; walls about ocellar basin nearly obsolete; frontal crest 
strongly developed, slightly broken by backward extension of elongate 
antennal fovea; antennie short, scarcely tapering, joint 4 a httle longer 
than 3; venation normal; stigma broad, rounded on lower margin; 
claws deeply and evenly cleft; sheath very broad, robust, scarcely 
tapering, rounded at apex; cerci short, tapering. Color black; space 
between antennze and face beneath including narrow orbits, pronotum, 
tegule, venter of abdomen extending over onto the sides of dorsum, 
especially on the posterior margin of the segments, and the legs rather 
dark resin yellow; extreme bases of coxve and the hind tarsi particu- 
larly, with extreme tips of hind tibiwe infuscated; sheath dark brown; 
wings hyaline; veins, including costa and stigma, dark brown.

tibiw rather strongly infuscated, especially toward tip; dorsal ares of 
abdomen entirely black; antenne more elongate and somewhat more
