Pomona College, Claremont, California 51 



Habitat: Claremont, California {Baker; Pomona coll. 213). 

 Close to D. c/arivt'ntris, but certainly distinct, the sculpture of the 

 thorax being quite different. 



CoiiantliaHctus bakeri Crawford. 



$ About 4 mm. long; hair at apex of abdomen reddish-gray, 

 abundant. The six-jointed maxillary palpi are very long and slen- 

 der, anci the tongue is linear, quite long, with very long hairs. 



9 I made the following notes from Crawford's type in U. S. 

 National Museum. Dull green abdomen, hind margins of seg- 

 ments pale reddish; head round seen from In front; front dull 

 bluish green; long hairs over clypeus like a moustache; mesothorax 

 not evidently punctured. Has the short elevated clypeus of genus, 

 but head differently shaped. The Claremont specimen shows a 

 well-developed tibial scopa. 



Two males and a female are before me, from Claremont {Baker; 

 Pomona coll. 199, 216). The genus seems nearest to Paralictus 

 Rob., but quite distinct. Both are without the caudal rima in 

 female. 



Couauthalictus macrops sp. n. 

 $ Length slightly over 4 mm., but more robust than C. bakeri, 

 with the reddish hind margins of abdominal segments fringed with 

 white hair except in middle; head very broad, the facial quadrangle 

 much broader than long; mandibles broadly red at apex; antennas 

 short, entirely dark; cheeks rather broad, with a depressed, dimple- 

 like area; front completely dull, but mesothorax somewhat shining, 

 though not polished; wings strongly dusky; stigma dark reddish, 

 rather small; nervures fuscous; second s. m. very narrow; femora 

 green, tibiae and tarsi black, with white hair. The green color, fine 

 sculpture, etc., are as in bakeri. The abundant hair at apex of ab- 

 domen is pale dusky reciciish. 



Habitat: Claremont, California {Baker; Pomona coll. 199). 

 Known from all other members of the genus by the very broad 

 head. The large black eyes are parallel. 



AiigocJilora pomoniella Ckll. 

 Both sexes from Claremont {Baker; Pomona coll. 211, 210). 

 The male is new.
