90 INSECUTOR INSClTIyU MENSTRUUS 



of f rentals. Abdomen in favorable specimens showing a short, 

 shining black, bluntly pointed ovipositor; claws and pulvilli 

 shorter. 



Length of male 10.5 mm. (average of five) ; of female, 

 7.3 mm. (average of five). 



Represented in the National Museum by the following speci- 

 mens : one male, Falls Church, Virginia, matching the specimen 

 sent to the British Museum; one male Beltsville, Maryland, 

 labeled Anaporia limacodis by Townsend and agreeing ex- 

 actly with the preceding; one male, Glen Carlyn, Virginia 

 (Knab) ; two males, Lyme, Connecticut (Greene) ; two fe- 

 males, White Mountains, New Hampshire (Morrison) ; one 

 same (Mrs. Slosson) ; one female. New Haven, Connecticut 

 (Champlain) ; one female, Melrose Highlands, Massachusetts; 

 one female, "ex Bmpretia stimulea," from H. G. Dyar, pre- 

 sumably bred at Yaphank, New York; one female, Virginia, 

 reared from Buclea cippus (Koebele, Bureau Ent. No. 357-0, 

 labeled Bxorista blanda O. S., by Coquillett, and so cited by 

 him in Revis. Tachin., p. 13) ; two females, East Verde River, 

 Arizona, 4,500 feet (Townsend). 



Pseudeuantha coquilletti, new species. 



Male. Smaller than the preceding and less robust, with 

 smaller genitalia, which, however, are on exactly the same 

 plan. The color of the pile of the pleura is evidently variable, 

 as in the type it is wholly dark and in another it is dark above, 

 in the others wholly pale as in pristis. Width of front in four 

 males, 0.03, 0.04, 0.055, 0.06 ; average 0.046 of headwidth. 



Female. The only differential character that could separate 

 this from pristis as far as I now see would be the presence of 

 secondary discal bristles, and this may be variable. One rather 

 robust female taken at Lyme, Connecticut (Greene), has dis- 

 tinct secondary discals ; but a pair taken the same day and 

 another male the day after are typical pristis. The difficulty 

 is increased by the fact that females of pristis are much 

 smaller than their males, so that they agree in size with those 

 of this species, although this has a smaller male than that of 

 pristis.
