black area on first segment a very broad (anteroposteriorly) 
but not very long transverse band, clean cut, with broadly 
rounded ends; band on second segment somewhat enlarged 
at sides, but with no anterior extension; venter black, not 
banded. Farr West, Utah (C. J. D. Brown). In my MS. 
table it runs to T. lineatulus Cklh, which differs at once by 
the transverse mark on pleura, L the anterior extensions of 
band on second segment, the much longer black band on 
disc of first segment, etc. It runs out in all other tables.

Melissodes alopex n. sp. 
d Buns in my table (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc., 1906) to M. me- 
nuacha Cress., which it resembles in size and general ap- 
pearance. It differs thus: pubescence in general much 
redder, fox-red on thorax and very bright on tibiae and tarsi ; 
third antennal joint shorter (its length about 990 microns); 
eyes darker green; wings strongly blackish, outer nervures 
black; second cubital cell very broad, not appreciably nar- 
rowing above; hind margins of abdominal segments not at 
all hyaline; second segment densely hairy at base, and with 
a median fulvous band; third to fifth with the exposed parts 
densely covered with fulvous hair, except broad apical mar- 
gin of third, and narrow brownish margin of fourth; apex 
black haired. 
Duchesne, Utah, July 1926 (Tanner) There is also a strong 
resemblance to M. sabinensis Ckll., from Arizona, but that? 
has a broader, much more closely felted abdomen, and a 
much narrower face.
