Tephritis gemella, sp. nov. 



Yellow, a black spot at the lower front corners of the scutellum, hairs and bristles 

 also yellow, scutelluin bearing four bristles ; wings reticulate with yellowish-brown, 

 along the costa and at apex with blackish, nearly as in cequalis Loew,* except that 

 there are two transverse pairs of hyaline dots on each side of the small crossvein, situ- 

 ated between the latter and the large roundhyaline spots; the basal portion of the 

 discal cell as far as the transverse pair of hyaline dots below the small crossveins 

 contains four large hyaline spots ; bristles of third vein very sparse and minute ; most 

 of the cells contain a few more hyaline dots than occur in the related species. 

 Length, 6 mm. 



Habitat. — Las Vegas Hot Springs, New Mexico. 

 A female specimen collected August 8 by Mr. H. S. Barber. 

 Type No. 6637, U. S. N. M. 



Tephritis inornata, sp. nov. 



Black, opaque, grayish pruinose, the head and its appendages except center of 

 occiput, the apex of scutellum, the halteres and legs yellow, ovipositor of female 

 largely reddish-yellow ; bristles black, the bristly hairs whitish, scutellum bearing 

 four bristles, third joint of antenn?e rounded at the apex, proboscis short, rather 

 robust, not geniculate, abdomen without distinct black spots ; wings reticulate with 

 dark brown nearly as in finalis Loe\v,t except that the first posterior cell contains a 

 transverse pair of hyaline dots just beyond the hyaline basal spot, and with five hyaline 

 dots beyond this pair, three of which are along the fourth vein and two along the 

 third, also a minute hyaline dot in extreme apex of this cell ; apex of discal cell 

 beyond the transverse pair of hyaline dots below and slightly beyond the small cross- 

 vein wholly brown ; hyaline spots in third posterior cell except the one in extreme 

 apex united to form three large spots ; third vein bare. Length, 3 mm. 



Habitat. — Las Vegas Hot Springs, New Mexico. 

 One male and two female specimens collected August 2 to 8 by 

 Mr. H. S. Barber. Type No. 6638, U. S. N. M. 



Urellia imperfecta, sp. nov. 



Black, opaque, gray pruinose, the head and its members except center of occiput, 

 the humeri, halteres and legs yellow, bristles black, the bristly hairs yellowish ; third 

 joint of antennas rounded at the apex, proboscis short, rather robust, not geniculate, 

 scutellum bearing only two bristles, abdomen unmarked, middle femora without 

 bristles ; wings nearly as in maverna Walker [sotaris Loew J) except that the brown, 

 Y-shaped mark at apex of wing is wanting except a dot where the base of the 

 branches should be, no gray dot near center of discal cell, a brown streak below 

 middle of penultimate section of fifth vein, the hyaline spot in base of first posterior 

 cell much larger, and there is a hyaline dot close to the third vein in the brown
