C. sodalis, Cressoiij tliougli tlie lateral teeth of the scutellum, 

 while obtuse, are not short ; the apical margins of the wings 

 are only slightly dusky. The tibial spurs are black, and the 

 fiftli abdominal segment has no lateral teeth, though there are 

 minute nodules. The lateral teeth of the sixth segment are 

 long. The upper apical teeth are flattened and rounded. 

 The spines on the anterior coxse are large and blunt. It is 

 to be remarked that while C. rilns was described from a 

 locality in the upper austral zone^ it is also an inhabitant of 

 the boreal_, and probably goes far north of New Mexico. On 

 June 29, 1902, my wife took females of G. ribis and 

 C. Porterce at flowers of Frasera at Beulah, New Mexico, in 

 the Canadian zone. 



The exact relationship of C. sodalis to ribis and Kincaidi 

 will not be determined until the male of the first-mentioned 

 is discovered. The localities given for sodalis are New York 

 and Colorado; New York, being first mentioned, may be 

 considered the type locality. I rather expect that ribis and 

 sodalis will prove to be one species.
