Triepeolus coquilletti, n. sp. 
In Annals and Magazine of Natural History, Jan. 1904, p. 38, - 
I recorded a female supposed to be T. donatus (Smith), eol- 
lected by Mr. Coquillett in San Bernardino County, California. 
I have now compared it with genuine T. donatus from Maine, 
and it is certainly a distinct species, to be named as above. 
The differential characters are: Length about 10 mm.; pubes- 
cence of thorax and abdomen creamy-white; form much more 
slender; anterior and posterior bands on first abdominal seg- 
ment broken only by linear interruptions, band on second seg- 
ment entire.

be, Synhalonia acerba. 
Page 32. Colletes gandialis should be gaudialis.

= = Orifice of the beak entire, or at most emarginate. Species 
of difficult determination. 
a. Perigynia ovoid or obovoid.

Culms slender, rough on the sharp angles, 3 dm. tall; leaves 
2-4 mm. wide, shorter than the culms; staminate spikes 1-2, 
sometimes with a very short spike at base; pistillate spikes 2-3, 
on short peduneles, 3-5 em. long, 4-5 mm. thick; scales nar- 
rowly lanceolate, nearly as long as the perigynia, obtuse or 
subacute; perigynia obscurely 3-nerved on the outer face; 
achenes pale brown, orbicular, smooth, mucronulate. 
Santa Inez Mts., above Santa Barbara; 350 Brewer, type. 
Santa Susana Mts., Feb. 1861; 218 Brewer. Near San Fer- 
nando, Feb., 1861; 218 Brewer. Cienega, Los Angeles Co.; 
Davidson, 1890. The Santa Susana Mts. are ‘‘near San Fer- 
nando’’ and the two specimens of 218 Brewer in the herbarium 
of the State University probably represent the same collection. 
Both are labeled ‘‘C. Jamesii Torr.’’ and the first is so cited 
in the Botany of California. The species appears to have been 
seldom collected, but is probably confined to the coast region.
