  Of 
  these, 
  two 
  are 
  typical 
  curta, 
  while 
  two 
  have 
  the 
  hair 
  on 
  

   inner 
  side 
  of 
  hind 
  basitarsi 
  rather 
  dark 
  ferruginous. 
  These 
  

   latter 
  are 
  clearly 
  curta, 
  not 
  A. 
  peritomae.

  Ent. 
  Soc. 
  xxxii. 
  p. 
  79, 
  runs 
  

   out 
  at 
  4, 
  because 
  yellow 
  of 
  clypeus 
  is 
  not 
  notched 
  at 
  sides 
  ; 
  

   except 
  for 
  this 
  character 
  it 
  runs 
  to 
  T. 
  frater 
  (Cress.) 
  on 
  p. 
  80, 
  

   to 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  closely 
  allied. 
  It 
  differs 
  from 
  T. 
  frater 
  

   (a 
  co-type 
  from 
  Colorado 
  compared) 
  by 
  the 
  clypeal 
  yellow 
  

   being 
  pale 
  lemon 
  instead 
  of 
  abnost 
  orange, 
  its 
  upper 
  border 
  

   arched, 
  leaving 
  the 
  upper 
  and 
  lateral 
  margins 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus 
  

   broadly 
  black 
  ; 
  face 
  broader 
  ; 
  hair 
  of 
  thorax 
  above 
  more 
  

   strongly 
  ochreous 
  ; 
  apical 
  plate 
  of 
  abdomen 
  broader 
  ; 
  last 
  

   ventral 
  segment 
  with 
  the 
  oblique 
  submarginal 
  ridges 
  straight 
  

   or 
  nearly 
  (curved 
  in 
  frater), 
  and 
  apical 
  corners 
  of 
  segment 
  

   prominent 
  (not 
  so 
  in 
  frater). 
  

  

  I 
  thought 
  this 
  might 
  be 
  the 
  male 
  of 
  T. 
  virgata 
  (Ckll.), 
  

   but 
  the 
  b. 
  n. 
  in 
  virgata 
  squarely 
  meets 
  the 
  t.-m., 
  whereas 
  in 
  

   poetica 
  it 
  falls 
  short 
  of 
  it.
