fourth and fifth segments with large triangular elevated areas, 

 which are rather sparsely punctured; fifth segment with a small 

 tooth on each side; sixth with dense white hair at base, at each side 

 a long sharp tooth, the apical lobes far apart, each with two teeth, 

 the upper short, little more than a salient angle, the lower long, 

 flattened, rounded at end, divergent; fourth ventral segment not 

 emarginate. 



Habitat: Claremont, California {Baker; Pomona coll. 195). 

 I wondered whether this could be the undescribed male of C. coqiiil- 

 letti Crawf., but it is larger than the male of that species would 

 probably be, there are no hair bands bounding mesothorax or scutel- 

 lum posteriorly, the vertex is not entirely rugose, and the abdomen 

 is without red. From C. novomexicana it is easily known by the 

 hair on eyes being more than twice as long. By the long hair on 

 the eyes it resembles C. ribis kincaidii Ckll., which has black legs, 

 and the apical teeth of abdomen closer together and almost parallel. 



Coelioxys angiilifera sp. n. 



9 Length about 11.5 mm.; black, strongly punctured, with 

 white hair; lower margin of clypeus angularly produced and sloping 

 a little outward; knees, tibis and tarsi dark red, the tibias with a 

 strong blackish suffusion. Very close to C. banksi Crawf. (from 

 Virginia), differing thus: teeth at sides of scutellum long; no band 

 of white hair in scutello-mesothoracic suture; mesopleurae with 

 long hair (not very dense) all over; last ventral segment not so 

 much extended beyond last dorsal. Except for the clypeus, it much 

 resembles C. moesta Cress., differing in the much longer teeth at 

 sides of scutellum, and much larger punctures at base of penultimate 

 ventral segment. 



$ Length about 8 mm. ; face and front densely covered with 

 white hair; anterior coxcP with well-developed spines; legs darker, 

 the tibiae mainly blackish; fifth abdominal segment with a short 

 spine on each side ; sixth with a long spine on each side, and the apical 

 lobes each with two spines, the upper much shorter than the lower; 

 no median spine; fourth ventral segment entire. In my table of 

 male Coelioxys (Canad. Entom., 1912, p. 170) this runs to C. 

 angelica Ckll., the female of which is very different from C. angult- 

 fera.
