INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 177 



Leria serrata, variety vinus, new variety. 



Similar to serrata, but all the abdominal segments, excepting 

 the last, the color of Indian red, often overlaid with some gray- 

 black. Dorsal surface of abdomen smooth, almost shining. 

 Fore femora usually blackish, inner side deep red-yellow. Size 

 small, about 3 to 4 mm. Usually only one vibrissa. 



I have selected seven specimens to represent the type series. 

 Males and females, Cranbrook, British Columbia, March 20 to 

 April 8 ; a female, Michel, British Columbia, August 2. 



It is a small form found in the earliest spring, gradually 

 mixing with a lighter form whose abdomen is red-yellow with 

 scattered patches of dark or black, v/hich runs into the summer 

 form, which has a clear almost yellow abdomen contrasting 

 greatly with the thoracic color.
