Vol. XI] VAN DUZEE—NEW HEM1PTER0VS INSECTS J23 



the Hemiptera of Lake Tahoe, but that species differs in 

 wanting the fuscous markings on the elytra, in its narrower 

 vertex and in the much longer and more pointed male clas- 

 per. I possess one specimen of what seems to be the true 

 rufipennis Fallen, taken by me at Ward, Colorado, July 18, 

 1893, at an elevation of 9,500 feet, so that species should 

 again be placed in our fauna. This specimen from Ward 

 is a male and has the uniform coloration, fuscous vestiture, 

 narrower vertex with weak basal carina and the smaller size 

 of rufipennis. 



Holotype, male, No. 770, and allotype, female, No. 771, 

 Mus. Calif. Acad. Sci.; paratypes in the Academy's collec- 

 tion and in that of the author. 



Type locality, Huntington Lake, Fresno County, Calif. 



15. Coquillettia uhleri, new species 



Aspect of insignis, longer and more slender, pale portions 

 of elytra pale yellow, membrane almost entirely fuscous. 

 Length 7 mm. 



Head about as in insignis, produced beyond eye for a space about equal to 

 greatest length of eye and to length of first antennal segment, subequal to 

 width of vertex between eyes. Pronotum as in insignis, a little more than 

 one-half as long as its basal width; scutellum almost equilateral; elytra nearly 

 parallel, scarcely widened at apex of corium, distinctly so in insignis; tip 

 of abdomen scarcely surpassing apex of corium ; second antennal segment 

 equal to sutural margin of clavus; III subequal to II, IV twice length of I; 

 rostrum attaining apex of mesosternum. 



Color, rufo-brunneus, clearer red on scutellum, anterior portion of pronotum 

 and legs, tip of tibiae and tarsi inf uscated ; elytra pale canary-yellow, the 

 clavus, broad apex of corium, and extreme tip of cuneus, olive-brown; mem- 

 brane uniformly infuscated with margin next cuneus narrowly white; an- 

 tennae and legs clothed with minute fuscous hairs; cheeks, coxae and pleural 

 sutures a clearer red. 



Described from one male taken by Mr. Fordyce Grinnell 

 at Pasadena, Calif., May 29, 1909. In this species the apical 

 fuscous band of the corium is a little shorter than the width 

 of the corium at that point with its basal margin oblique, 

 nearly parallel with the apical margin of the corium and quite 

 broadly connecting with the fuscous of the clavus. This is 

 the "variety" mentioned by Dr. Uhler in his description of 

 insignis.
