 tal claspers. a, left clasper, lateral aspect ; 

 b, internal arm of left clasper ; c, right clasp- 

 er, lateral aspect. 



9. Length 5.7 mm., witlth 2.75 



and pleura black, opaque except for spot at dorsal margin of meso- and meta- 

 episterna ; ostiolar peritreme pale, invaded l)y fuscous at dorsal margin. 



Hciiiclytra : width 2.8 mm., elongate, embolar margins nearly parallel ; mod- 

 erately convex, rather closely and uniformly black punctate, longly pubescent 

 or hairy; background pale testaceous, translucent, dark color spreading from 

 the punctures, spot at base, middle and more or less broadly at apex of cor- 

 ium, narrow edge and tip of embolium, apex of clavus, dark fuscous to 

 blackish. Cuitcus elongate, brownish black on apical half, paler and black 

 punctate basally. Mciiihraiic infuscated, paler within tlie areoles and a spot 

 bordering tip (if cuneus whicli extends transversely more or less toward middle, 

 veins dark fuscous. 



Legs : fuscous to blackish, tro- 

 chanters and tips of coxae paler ; 

 hind femora pale on basal half ex- 

 cept for two or three rows of fus- 

 cous points, an obscure pale annu- 

 lus on the apical half; tibiae biannu-

renter: dark brownish black, heav- 

 ily pubescent; genital claspers (fig.

S. Holotype: "Gfeat Slave Lake" [Canada] (Robert Kenni- 

 cott) ; Uhler collection; Cat. No. 24175 U. S. N. M. Allotype: Au- 

 gust 21. Mount Katahdin (alt. 5,300 ft. ), Maine (C. P. Alexander) ; 

 author's collection. Poratypc : $, taken with the allotype. 



This species is named in honor of Robert Kennicott, one of the 

 pioneer collectors in northwestern America. The female is described 

 from material collected on Mount Katahdin and thus widely isolated 

 from the type locality but the specimens agree so closely, and the char- 

 acters are so distinctive, there seems to be little doubt regarding their 

 identity.
