A SYNOPSIS OF EUDEJEANIA—SABROSKY 151 
ropus, which they resemble, by the yellow metatarsi. Both sexes are 
easily separated from the other known species by having the para- 
facials and cheeks silvery instead of golden-brown, and the subepaulet 
black instead of orange-yellow. 
I have no hestitation in stating the synonymy of Dejeania podiceria 
Rondani. Fortunately the latter’s description emphasized the very 
characteristics upon which Hudejeania melanax is here recognized as 
distinct, namely, the silvery face and cheeks, legs black but with the 
base of each tarsus yellow, and the tibiae and tarsi silvery-haired. 
Most important of all, Rondani noted that the third antennal segment 
was “pediforme” and presented a figure showing it greatly expanded 
basally, in profile shaped like a foot. Walker gave no figure of the 
antenna of melanaz, but his detailed description of the shape of the 
third segment leaves no doubt that he had a specimen with this type 
of antenna. 
Engel listed melanawx as a synonym of pallipes on the authority of 
Austen. He referred Rondani’s species to Hudejeania, but made no 
further mention of it in his revision and apparently did not recognize 
it in the material before him. It would have run in his key to pallipes 
var. argyropus. 
Material examined, 21 specimens: Cotomsra: 2 males, 13 females, 
Bogoté (B. Guevara); female, Meta District, 1932 (B. Guevara) 
[U.S.N.M.]; male, 2 females, Monserrate, Bogota, 2,700-3,000 m., 
June 24, 1939 (2), and May 2, 1940 (H. Osorno) [Inst. Cien. Nat.]. 
Kicuapor: male, Bafios, Oriente, 8-10,000 feet, January 4, 1923 (F. X. 
Williams) [U.S.N.M.].  Vuenezurna: male, Mérida (S. Briceno) 
(labeled padllipes, det. Townsend) [U.S.N.M.]. 
EUDEJEANIA PSEUDOPYRRHOPODA (Blanchard), new combination 
Hudejeaniops pseudopyrrhopoda BLANcHARD, La Plata Mus. Rev., new ser., 
vol. 2, p. 353, 1941 (Argentina.) 
According to the description, this species has entirely black body, 
white pruinose parafacia!s and cheeks, black palpi, black femora and 
tibiae, whitish yellow tarsi, black tibial bristles, abundant silvery- 
white hair on the tibiae and tarsi, black subepaulet (basicosta), and 
large size (19 mm.). 
Of the species before me, this combination of characters applies 
only to melanax Walker. Blanchard’s two specimens were females, 
and it is therefore not possible to say whether the males of pseudo- 
pyrrhopoda also have the same broad third antennal segment to be 
found in the males of melanaz. 
Because of the considerable difference in known distribution, I 
hesitate to suggest that pseudopyrrhopoda is a synonym of melanax 
Walker. It is certainly very close, however, and on the basis of
