MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 



1915- 



Pediopsis fernigiiwidcs Van Duzee. 



Pediopsis ferruginoides Van D. Ent. x\m. V 181, i88g. 



This is a dark species with ferruginous coloring but quite variable 

 in intensity, the single specimen taken in Maine referred to the species 

 being darker than the rule. Length 5 mm. It was collected July 15th, 

 1914 and if correctly placed extends the range from Iowa which is the 

 most easterly point hitherto recorded.

iLight yellow with a conspicuous black oblique stripe bordering the 

 claval suture. Length 6 mm. 



Two specimens taken at Highmoor Farm Aug. i5-i6th are so far the 

 only representatives found in the state, and it would seem that it is 

 rather rare though it may have been a little past its season when collect- 

 ing began.
