Like E. comes var. vitifex Fitch except that the red vitta on anterior 

 half of clavus and the adjacent short vitta on coriuni are overlaid or re- 

 placed by black ; the lateral vittae on pronotuni and the sides of the sculel- 

 luni also may be dusky to black, and the oblique dusky band across a])ical 

 cells is well marked. Triangular area below base of antenna, pro- and 

 meso-pleura, base and apex of genitalia and broad vittae on dorsum of 

 abdomen also may be dusky to black. Length 3 mm.

E. comes var. rubrella McAtee. — White Heath, May 7, 1909 ; .Mgon- 

 quin, Oct. 5. 1S95. 



Erythroneura comes var. reflecta, new varietv 



Much like E. comes var. rubra Gillette in connection with which it 

 was mentioned in my Key, but the pale markings are more extensive, and 

 the red ones instead of being a solid jasper-red as in that form are dilute 

 bluish-red with carmine edgings ; the fact that all of the red vittae are of 

 this compound character gives the variety the appearance of having the 

 most complex pattern of any of the comes varieties.
