DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES. 265 



vein; the second is perpendicular and begins on the stigma; both 

 converge posteriorly and coalesce quite a distance from the 

 posterior margin, so that the cuneiform hyaline space between 

 them does not reach beyond the anterior angle of the basis of 

 the third posterior cell. The third black band runs over the 

 posterior crossvein and is parallel to the second band, so that 

 between both there is a somewhat irregularly limited hyaline 

 crossband, which is perceptibly dilated between the third longi- 

 tudinal vein and the anterior margin; it reaches the latter 

 immediately behind the stigma ; the posterior end of the third 

 band shows some inclination to coalesce with the second band 

 near the posterior margin. The fourth band completely coalesces 

 with the third between the costa and the second longitudinal 

 vein, and follows the margin of the wing some distance beyond 

 the end of the fourth longitudinal vein ; between the tips of the 

 second and fourth veins, however, there is a rather broad hyaline 

 interval between it and the margin; beyond this point, it touches 

 the margin completely.

Observation. — In the first volume of the Monographs I ex- 

 pressed the supposition that the Tephritis tabellaria of Fitch 

 may not be a Trypeta at all, but an Ortalida; this supposition, 

 however, proved to be erroneous ; it is a Trypetida, belonging 

 to the genus Bhagoletis.
