 to D. offlicta, Cresson, to which it is in every way very closely 

 related, differing in the much smaller size and slender abdo- 

 men. TegulaB rather light ferruginous : second submarginal 

 cell much contracted above ; hair of thorax above and pubes- 

 cence generally very pale ochreous. I had this mixed with 

 D. diminuta, from which it is easily known by the short 

 black or dark fuscous hair on the abdominal segments beyond 

 the second, of course not involving the broad apical fringe. 

 The hair of the apical fringes is appressed, not erect as in 

 1). skt'nneri, Ckll., which also differs greatly by its short 

 broad abdomen.

I am greatly indebted to Professor C. F. Baker for the loan 

 of one of the original types. The b. n. falls short of t.-m. a 

 distance nearly equal to length of second s.m. on first discoidal.
