  It 
  is 
  unfortunate 
  that 
  Stein 
  chose 
  this 
  name 
  for 
  this 
  species 
  as 
  it 
  

   is 
  calculated 
  to 
  cause 
  confusion 
  with, 
  femorata 
  Loew., 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  syno- 
  

   nym 
  of 
  pusio 
  Wiedemann. 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  most 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  

   trimaculata 
  Stein, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  separated 
  by 
  the 
  characters 
  

   mentioned 
  under 
  the 
  note 
  on 
  that 
  species. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  only 
  one 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  in 
  collection, 
  which 
  is 
  

   in 
  rather 
  poor 
  condition, 
  from 
  Winslow, 
  Arizona 
  (E. 
  S. 
  G. 
  Titus).

  I 
  have 
  never 
  met 
  with 
  this 
  species, 
  which 
  according 
  to 
  Stein 
  has 
  

   much 
  the 
  habitus 
  of 
  an 
  Azelia. 
  The 
  characters 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  table 
  

   should 
  serve 
  to 
  identify 
  it.

  There 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  here 
  7 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  — 
  4 
  from 
  

   White 
  Mountains, 
  New 
  Hampsliire 
  (Morrison?); 
  2 
  from 
  Mount 
  

   Wasliington, 
  New 
  Hampshire 
  (Geo. 
  Dimmock) 
  ; 
  and 
  1 
  from 
  Franconia, 
  

   New 
  Hampsliire 
  (Mrs. 
  A. 
  T. 
  Slosson). 
  The 
  male 
  may 
  be 
  separated 
  

   from 
  any 
  other 
  described 
  species 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  the 
  preapical 
  dorsal 
  

   bristle 
  from 
  the 
  hind 
  tibia, 
  and 
  the 
  possession 
  of 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  three 
  very 
  

   strong 
  bristles 
  on 
  middle 
  of 
  antero-ventral 
  surface 
  of 
  mid 
  femur, 
  

   which 
  are 
  conspicuous 
  from 
  the 
  other 
  bristles.

  I 
  have 
  before 
  me 
  2 
  specimens 
  which 
  agree 
  with 
  a 
  Scotch 
  specimen 
  

   of 
  this 
  species. 
  The 
  locality 
  is 
  "V^Tiite 
  Mountains, 
  New 
  Hampshire 
  

   (Morrison). 
  The 
  species 
  comes 
  very 
  close 
  to 
  serena 
  Fallen, 
  but 
  besides 
  

   being 
  smaller, 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  (8-9) 
  bristles 
  on 
  apical 
  half 
  of 
  antero- 
  

   ventral 
  surface 
  on 
  hind 
  femur, 
  which 
  increase 
  in 
  length 
  toward 
  

   apex. 
  Serena 
  has 
  generally 
  2-3 
  longer 
  and 
  stronger 
  bristles, 
  but 
  not 
  

   a 
  regular 
  row 
  as 
  in 
  postica.

  Male. 
  — 
  Deep 
  black, 
  subopaque. 
  Only 
  the 
  halteres

  Wings 
  

   fuscous, 
  especially 
  on 
  fore 
  margin, 
  veins 
  black-brown. 
  

  

  Frontal 
  orbits 
  silvered, 
  middle 
  stripe 
  from 
  behind 
  appearing 
  velvety 
  

   black, 
  from

  at 
  the 
  narrowest 
  part 
  at 
  least 
  as 
  wide 
  as
