Hah. North Red River. English River. (R. Kennicott.) 

 Observation. — Yery like Tet. sylvatica Meig., but still nearer 

 allied to Tet. unicolor Loew, distinct from the former by the frontal 

 furrow, wl^ich is very much abbreviated here and by the anterior 

 margin which is not shining; from the latter, which it also exceeds 

 in size, by the striped thorax, and the narrower and less obsolete 

 frontal furrow.
