 point at apex, front femora only slightly thickened, no black bristles on 

 their under sides nor on inner sides of the front tibiae ; wings hyaline, 

 unmarked. Length, 5 mm. A specimen of each sex, collected July 1 1 . 



Habitat. Popof Island, Alaska. 



Type. Cat. no. 5253, U. S. National Museum. 



This genus has not heretofore been recorded from this Continent. 

 The present species would fall in the genus Okenia as defined by 

 Becker (Berliner Ent. Zeitsch., 1894, P- H 1 )* but as that name is 

 preoccupied in the Mollusca, the species previously referred to it may 

 be transferred to Pogonota, with which they agree except in a few 

 trifling particulars.
