A SYNOPSIS OF EUDEJEANIA—SABROSKY 143 
detail usually associated with descriptions of Larvaevoridae. Except 
for the points in which variation has been noted, the generic diag- 
nosis of Townsend (1939, p. 78) will apply to all the species herein 
considered in Hudejeania. Along with other structures, the male 
genitalia are rather uniform throughout the genus. Some differences 
have been observed, especially in the shape and proportion of the 
fused anal forceps, but they are of a comparative nature and are not 
so readily defined as the characters that have been employed in this 
study. Insofar as differences can be observed, they corroborate the 
status of the species recognized here. 
A diagnostic key to the species of the genus follows the systematic 
qiscumana of the valid species of the genus (p. 153).

New synonym. 
I have compared the types of the two species in the collection of the 
United States National Museum, but I am unable to find any differ- 
ences to justify regarding them as distinct. It is possible, of course, 
in view of the considerable difference in elevation involved, that were 
long series of specimens available one might find some consistent even 
if minor differences. At present I can recognize no such differences. 
The essential characteristics are as follows: : | 
Body entirely black or dark brown-black; parafacials, cheeks, and 
occiput yellowish to smoky golden, the occipital hairs yellow; width 
of front in the male equals 0.36 the width of the head; palpi orange- 
yellow ; third antennal segment black, the basal segments brown, nar- 
rowly orange about the juncture of the second and third; wings heav- 
ily browned; subepaulet (basicostal scale) brownish yellow to orange; 
legs entirely reddish yellow, the bristles and hairs of all tibiae and 
tarsi the same; dorsal (extensor) surface of the hind tibia, between 
the anterodorsal and posterodorsal rows, glabrous except for a few 
pale hairs at the extreme base; hind tibia with a row of 8-10 antero- 
dorsal bristles of varying lengths; large species, averaging 16-17 mm. 
in body length. | 
Townsend described #’. alpina as having entirely black antennae, but 
the type and paratype actually have the second antennal segment red- 
dish on the distal fourth. The character is not significant, and it is 
mentioned only because it might be pointed out from the description 
alone as an apparent difference. 
Besides the two type series (3,2 2 of nigra,2 2 of alpina), there 
are four specimens in the National Museum collection that seem to be-
