Genus EMPHOROPSIS Ashmead. 



EMPHOROPSIS MURIHIRTA MURINA (Ashmead MS.), new subspecies. 



Meliturgopsis Ashmead, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, XXVI, 1899, p. 62. — Cock- 

 ERELL, Anil. Mag. Nat. Hist., Jan., 1901, p. 49. (No species cited in 

 eitlier place.) 



31ale. — In all respects like E. murihirta Cockerell, except that the 

 face markings are ivory white instead of yellowish ; the hair of the 

 thorax is mouse-grey mixed with black, without the yellow tint ; and 

 the abdomen beyond the first segment is rather densely beset with 

 long pale hair, not mixed with black. 



Habitat. — San Francisco County, California, October (collector 

 unknown). Typical E. murihirta is from Los Angeles. It has in 

 the male much black hair on the second and following abdominal seg- 

 ments, and a silvery-white fringe just before the apex. 



Tijpe.—Cnt No. 12237, U.S.N.M. 



A male specimen without locality, labeled as representing another 

 species of Meliturgopsis., is Anthophora paeifca Cresson. This insect 

 is much like the male of A. porterw Cockerell, but among other char- 

 acters the labrum is longer and conspicuously turned up at the end. 

 It occurs in California. 



EMPHOROPSIS VIERECKI, new species. 



EmpJwropsis, new species, Cockerell, Canadian Entomologist, July, 1905, 

 p. 265. 



Allied to E. jmscoensis Cockerell, but hair of face and vertex Avith- 

 out black intermixed. Colorado and New Mexico. I supposed in 

 1905 that Mr. Viereck was about to describe it, but as he did not do 

 so, I provide a name. 



The type is in the collection of the American Entomological 

 Society. • 



ALLODAPE PHILIPPINENSIS (Ashmead). 



Prnsopis pJiilippinensis Ashmead, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, XII, 1904, p. 5. 

 AUodape philippinensis Ashmead, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., XXVIII, 1904, 

 p. 149. 



Although Doctor Ashmead corrected the generic reference in his 

 list, he did not indicate that the species was previously described 

 under Prosopis. The original description included a note stating 

 that the reference to Prosopis was provisional, and not really correct. 

 I have examined the type, an interesting little species, best distin- 

 guished by the fact that the hind margins of the abdominal segments 

 are very narrowly testaceous. The description almost exactly agrees 

 Avith that given by Bingham for AUodape marginata Smith, an insect 

 * only known by the miique type in the British Museum, reputed with 

 doubt to be from the East Indies. I suspect that ^1. marginata really 

 came from the Philippines, and is the same as A. philippinensis.
