452 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell on 
It was industriously visiting the flowers of Lzbes longi- 
florum, variety, and occasionally going to the flowers of wild 
plum immediately adjacent. Allied to A. Portere, Ckll., 
A. lesquerelle, Ckll., A. Crotchtt, Cr., and A. pyralitarsis, 
Dours. It is easily distinguished from Portere by the large 
amount of black on clypeus, the squarer labrum, and especially 
the flattened red hairs on middle tarsi; from lesquerelle by 
the nude clypeus and labrum, the smaller black fringe on 
claw-joint of middle tarsi, &c.; from Crotchiz by the pale 
(instead of pale yellow) face-marks, the absence of ochreous 
hair on head and thorax, &c.; from pyralitarsis by the 
absence of any reddish hair at base of abdomen and the 
absence of black hair on first joint of middle tarsi. The 
clypeus is marked much as in A. pyralitarsis. 
Ho.copasires, Ashmead. 
Mr. Ashmead has very kindly allowed me to examine the 
undescribed type of this genus, which was taken by Mr. F. C. 
Pratt at Washington, D.C. It is a female, and is very like 
Neopasites pulchellus (Phileremus pulchellus, Cr.), but the 
marginal cell is shorter and appendiculate, and the second 
submarginal is more narrowed above. Iam rather disinclined 
to consider Holcopasites distinct from Neopasites.
