black; wings nearly hyaline; veins, including stigma and costa, dark

Female.—Length 7 mm.; robust; head coarsely punctured; vertex, 
with ridges about anterior ocellus, rounded, subobsolete; antennal 
fovea circular, distinctly excavated anteriorly; clypeus squarely trun- 
cate; sheath broad, thickly clothed with hairs toward apex; claws

vein hyaline. 
One female. Mount Hood, Oreg. (Coll. Am. Ent. Soe.) 
This species comes very close to Cresson’s jocularis, but differs, per- 
haps, sufficiently to warrant a new species. 
15. Pristiphora koebelei new species. 
Female.—Length 6 mm.; robust; head coarsely and rugosely rough- 
ened with little tubercles; lateral ridges about anterior ocellus obsolete;
