  ^ 
  This 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  recorded 
  by 
  Stein 
  ^ 
  from 
  Alaska 
  (Sitka), 
  a 
  

   female 
  specimen 
  collected 
  by 
  Mannerheim 
  being 
  in 
  the 
  Berlin 
  

   Museum. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  very 
  difficult 
  to 
  separate 
  splendida 
  ^ 
  from 
  ornata, 
  and 
  it 
  would 
  

   have 
  been 
  better 
  had 
  Stein 
  compared 
  the 
  former 
  with 
  ornata 
  rather 
  

   than 
  with 
  pretiosa, 
  when 
  he 
  described 
  it, 
  as 
  pretiosa 
  is 
  very 
  easily 
  

   distinguished 
  from 
  either 
  of 
  the 
  other 
  two. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  seen 
  only 
  a 
  single 
  example 
  of 
  both 
  of 
  these 
  species, 
  splendida 
  

   from 
  Ashford, 
  Washington 
  (Dyar 
  and 
  Caudell), 
  and 
  ornata 
  with 
  the 
  

   date 
  June 
  20, 
  1894, 
  No. 
  513, 
  (collection 
  Coquillett), 
  no 
  other 
  data. 
  

   It 
  may 
  be 
  that 
  this 
  last 
  is 
  an 
  European 
  specimen, 
  but 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  

   means 
  of 
  deciding. 
  

  

  The 
  only 
  distinguishmg 
  characters 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  which 
  ornata 
  may 
  

   be 
  separated 
  from 
  splendida 
  lie 
  in 
  the 
  bristling 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  tibia. 
  

   In 
  ornata 
  the 
  hairs 
  are 
  very 
  long 
  and 
  curl 
  downward 
  toward 
  the 
  tip 
  

   of 
  the 
  tibise, 
  while 
  in 
  splendida 
  these 
  hau's 
  are 
  comparatively 
  shorter, 
  

   and 
  straight, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  bemg 
  less 
  numerous. 
  The 
  basal 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  

   hind 
  tarsus 
  has 
  also, 
  in 
  ornata, 
  hah-s 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  side, 
  which 
  are 
  

   longer 
  than 
  m 
  other 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  group, 
  whereas 
  in 
  splendida 
  this 
  

   joint 
  has 
  only 
  normal 
  hairing.

   This 
  is 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  Coelomyia 
  suhjjellucens 
  Zetterstedt, 
  which 
  was 
  

   recorded 
  from 
  Alaska 
  by 
  Osten 
  Sacken 
  in 
  his 
  Catalogue 
  in 
  1878. 
  

   Specimens 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  from 
  White 
  Mountains, 
  New 
  Hamp- 
  

   shire, 
  (Morrison), 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  also 
  seen 
  a 
  specimen 
  in 
  C. 
  W. 
  Johnson's 
  

   collection 
  from 
  Maine. 
  The 
  type 
  of 
  Jlavivaria 
  and 
  the 
  series 
  of 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  from 
  Alaska 
  are 
  identical 
  in 
  every 
  respect 
  with 
  those 
  from 
  New 
  

   Hampshire.
