18 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.69 



Described from four males and two females, all reared from larvae 

 of Carpocapsa pomonella, the codling moth, in three lots. 



The oldest lot consists of a single male, Sonoma County, Califor- 

 nia (Koebele, 1891). This is the specimen mentioned by Coquillett 

 in his host index ^ as Eypostena variabilis, and by Townsend as 

 Euzenillia, species, "^ and refen-ed to by me as a new species. ^ 



The second lot consists of a single female from Agnew, California, 

 bred by J. F. Lamiman; emerged June 1, 1923. This specimen was 

 included under variahilis by me,^ but I now believe it should go 

 here. 



The third lot consists of three males (including type) and one 

 female (allotype) reared in 1925 at Saticoy, California, by S, E. 

 Flanders. They came from the first brood of the codling moth. 



Type.— Cat. No. 28904, U.S.N.M. 



The males of this species are easily distinguished from those of var~ 

 iabilis by two characters — the presence of orbital bristles and the 

 very nunute size of the pul villi. Variabilis has large pulvilli and no 

 orbitals, and its front in the male is from 0.21 to 0.28 of the head 

 width (five measured gave 0.21, 0.24, 0.25, 0.27, 0.28). The females 

 are very hard to separate from variahilis, but seem to have a wider 

 front, as in five females of the latter the front measured 0,30, 0.31, 

 0.32, 0.33, 0.33 of the head width, averaging 0.32. 



UXOPHAGA JENNEI, new species 



Male. — Front 0.31 and 0.34 of the head width in the two speci- 

 mens, with bristles as in other members of the genus. Parafacials 

 narrow, about one-fourth the width of the third antennal joint; palpi 

 yellow; antemiae black, elongate, reacliing the vibrissae; the third 

 joint broader than in related species. Arista dark red at base for a 

 considerable distance. Thorax, viewed from behind, with the usual 

 foiu* black stripes, the two inner narrower. Posterior dorsocentral 3; 

 sternopleural 3; 1 pteropleural about as large as the smallest sterno- 

 pleural; scutellum with tliree lateral and a minute upturned pair of 

 apicals which in one specimen are a little above the usual position. 

 The scutellum also has one pair of small discals beyond the middle. 

 Abdomen with interrupted pollinose cross bands on the second and 

 third segments which fade out posteriorly at about the middle, leav- 

 ing the remainder shining black; the fourth segment has a denser 

 and better defined cross band, very narrowly or not at all interrupted, 

 covering more than one-half its length. All of those cross bands 

 extend upon the venter. First segment with one pair median mar- 

 ginals, the second the same, third with marginal row of eight ; fourth
