Described from two females from southern California, one 

 taken by Mr. Fordyce Grinnell at Pasadena, the other taken 

 by me at North Island, Coronado, San Diego, June 30, 1913. 

 The large size and hairy vestiture of this species will warrant 

 its description from females only. 



Holotype (No. 401), female, from Pasadena, in collection 

 of the California Academy of Sciences. 



Paratype in author's collection. 



The following key will help to distinguish the six grey or 

 fuscous mottled species having finely irrorate membranes, which 

 have been reported from California: 



Legs clothed with whitish hairs which are longer than the thickness 



of the tibiae hirtiis, new species 



Legs smooth or with minute pubescence only 1 



1. Dimorphus; male linear, uniformly grey, irrorate; female brachyp- 



terous with a fuscous ray on the clavus and wedge-shaped mark 



on the corium posteriorly canescens Rent. 



-. Sexes similar ; above irregularly mottled 2 



2. Head short, vertical, produced below the eye for a space equal to 



about one half the length of the eye 3 



-. Head long, oblique, produced below the eye for a space nearly equal 



to the length of the eye 4 



3. Smaller and pale ; dextral margin of the male genital segment with- 



out a tooth superiorly heidcmanni Reut. 



-. Larger and darker; dextral margin of the male genital segment pro- 

 duced in a terete tooth superiorly inops Uhl. 



4. Hind femora without an oblique pale annulus ; second antennal seg- 



ment one half longer than first; dextral margin of male genital 



segment produced in a broad flattened tooth superiorly 



plenus, new species. 



-. Hind femora with an oblique subapical pale annulus; second an- 

 tennal segment twice the length of first; dextral margin of male 



genital segment without a tooth at superior angle
