June, 1908.] ROHWER : NEW WESTERN TkXTI I k I I HXID.-E. 105 



Habitat. — Ute Creek, Costilla Co., Colo., 9,000 ft., June 27, 

 1907 (L. Bruner). 



This species has its closest ally in Lycaota nova Nort. (Maine), 

 but may be distinguished by the more rufous legs, different structure 

 of head, antennie, etc. I do not think that it is the female of L. tern's 

 Cress. 



3. Camponiscus smithi, new species. 



Female. — Length 7.5 mm.; length of anterior wing about 7.5 mm. Head not 

 quite as wide as thorax, a little wider behind eyes ; clypeus deeply circularly emar- 

 ginate, lobes broad, obtusely pointed ; labium rounded at apex ; middle fovea rather 

 shallow, broad, walls sloping ; frontal crest strong, slightly broken in the middle ; 

 ocellar basin distinct, rather sharply pointed above, walls somewhat rounded. 

 Furrow on anterior lobe of mesonotum distinct and extending the entire length. 

 Claws deeply notched, teeth stout, subequal. Intercostal vein a little beyond basal ; 

 basal vein joining subcostal about its own length basal to the origin of the cubitus ; 

 first recurrent nervure short, not quite parallel with basal ; transverse median in 

 middle of cell ; stigma large, broadest near base, tapering to apex; from second re- 

 current nervure to about middle of third cubital on cubitus is an extra nervure ; lower 

 discal cell of hind wing exceeding upper on outer margin. Sheath broad, rounded 

 on lower margin, a brush of hairs at apex; cerci long, slightly tapering. Color 

 reddish-yellow; clypeus, labrum, base of mandibles (the apex piceous), posterior 

 angles of pronotum and tegula? somewhat pallid ; antennae above, small spot around 

 ocelli, a very small spot above each antenna, eyes (ocelli brownish), two spots on 

 lateral lobes of mesonotum, suture between scutellum and lobes of mesonotum, post- 

 scutellum, metanotum, middle of basal plates, sutures of metapleurae, extreme bases 

 of posterior coxae, apex of first and second tergal segment, base of sheath black or 

 brownish. Wings slightly yellowish hyaline, costa and stigma yellowish hyaline, rest 

 of nervures brownish. 



Habitat. — Ute Creek, Costilla Co., Colo., 9,000 ft., July 1, 1907 

 (H. S. Smith). 



Closely related to C. americamis Marl., but separated by charac- 

 ters given below. Type in the Univ. of Nebraska. 



4. Camponiscus albostigmus, new species. 



Female. — Length 7 mm.; length of anterior wing 6.5 mm. Not as robust as 

 smithi. Head not as wide as thorax, well developed behind eyes; clypeus very 

 slightly emarginate, almost truncated ; labrum slightly notched at apex ; middle 

 carina strong, rounded below antennae ; middle fovea shallow, walls sloping; frontal 

 crest strongly notched in middle ; ocellar basin with walls rounded ; antennal joints 

 enlarged at apex, third joint longest ; middle furrow of anterior lobe of mesonotum 

 distinct, running the entire length. Claws bifid, teeth subequal. Intercostal vein 

 about its length beyond basal ; basal vein not its length basal to origin of cubitus, 

 but more than half of it; first recurrent as in C. smithi Roll.; transverse median a 

 little beyond middle of cell; upper discal cell of hind wings exceeding lo\
