19 C. lugens Wiedemann. 



The only two New Jersey specimens on record were col- 

 lected by Mr. Harbeck at Trenton, July 5, 1906. This species 

 belongs to the Southern Atlantic and Gulf States, where it 

 appears to be smaller and darker. 



C. lugens var. morosus Osten Sacken. 



Bamber, July 9; Tom's River, July 12; Newbold, $ S ; 

 July 14 , 9 9 , July 21. Baron Osten-Sacken was familiar with 

 Dr. Wiedemann's description of lugens when he described his 

 morosus as a new species, and stated in his Prodrome, page 

 394, that he had never seen lugens. These two forms are ap- 

 parently distinct; the descriptions bear this out, but Prof. 

 James S. Hine has in his collection the complete chain of inter- 

 grades, hence morosus must be considered a variety of lugens. 

 The wing, Fig. 19, answers for both forms, lugens and moro- 

 sus. While studying these forms I collected more than 125 

 specimens, with the result that two new species were separated 

 from this group, of which a table may read like this : 



lugens, abdomen brown, one yellowish longitudinal line. 



lugens, var. morosus, abdomen brown, three brownish 

 yellow stripes. 



parvulus n.sp., abdomen altogether brown. 



hinei n. sp., abdomen orange, two blackish stripes. 



20. C. parvulus n. sp. $ . 



Length SV2-7 mm. Face brownish -yellow; facial callosities, cheeks, 

 and frontal callus black; front covered with grayish pollen. First 

 antennal segment yellowish, second segment basally brown, the rest 

 black. Frontal spot on eyes more or less excised anteriorly; occipital 

 border separated from occiput. Thorax brownish-black, sparsely cov- 

 ered with whitish hair; two dorsal stripes barely recognizable cephalad, 

 and this only in a certain light. Pleura brown, with two grayish 

 stripes, the upper one indistinct. Abdomen uniformly brown, sparsely 

 beset with whitish hair toward apex. Venter uniformly brown and 

 glossy. Front tibiae, except the base, also tarsi, dark brown; middle 

 legs brownish-yellow, except the tarsi apically dark brown ; hind legs, 

 except base of tarsi, base of tibiae, and apex of femora, dark brown. 

 Wings: Costal cells and first basal, except a small spot near apex, 

 brown ; the crossband fills out the discal and fourth posterior cells, 

 its distal convex border begins at tip of posterior intercalary and
