  CAMPSOMERIS 
  (CAMPSOMERIS) 
  SIMILARIS, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Readily 
  separated 
  from 
  argenteopilosa 
  Cameron, 
  described 
  from 
  the 
  

   same 
  region, 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  black 
  hair. 
  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  

   the 
  Nearctic 
  fossulana 
  but 
  the 
  abdomen 
  lacks 
  the 
  bluish 
  tinge, 
  

   the 
  bands 
  on 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  tergites 
  are 
  broader 
  and 
  the 
  prono- 
  

   tum 
  is 
  yellow 
  posteriorly. 
  In 
  Saussure 
  and 
  Sichel's 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  

   species 
  of 
  this 
  genus, 
  this 
  species 
  seems 
  to 
  fall 
  in 
  Group 
  5, 
  Division 
  3, 
  

   and 
  is 
  apparently 
  closely 
  to 
  servillei 
  Guerin 
  but 
  it 
  does 
  not 
  agree 
  

   with 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  that 
  insect.

  similar; 
  just 
  inside 
  each
