Notes on American Psychodidae. 

 By Trevor Kincaid, University of Washington. 

 Psychoda alternata Say. 



This species is evidently quite widely distributed, as speci- 

 mens have been received from Pullman, in the eastern part of 

 Washington, where they were collected bj- Prof. C. V. Piper, 

 and no doubt occur elsewhere on the Pacific coast, although 

 none have yet been taken by the writer in Western Washing- 

 ton.
