Ogcodes rufoahdominalis Cole. The length was omitted in 
the original description and should be 4.25-5.5 mm. Specimens 
of this species were kindly loaned by Mr. McAtee from the col- 
lection of the U. S. Biological Survey. The black on the abdomen 
of one male was reduced to a basal triangle on the second, third 
and fourth tergites, the incisures yellowish; there was a basal 
blackish brown band on the second sternite. Two males were 
taken at Bear River, Utah, June 17, 1915 (A. K. Fisher) and one 
at the same place July 11, 1915 by A. W. Wetmore. One female 
I make a neotype and describe below. 
Female. The black color more suffused, the general color 
amber, with markings indistinct. Like the male in most res- 
pects, the wings larger and more infuscated. The squamae 
faintly infuscated. The tarsi blackish brown. Length 5 mm. 
Neotype, female, in the collection of the U. S. Biological 
Survey, taken at the mouth of the Bear River, Utah, July 11, 
1915 (A. W. Wetmore). 
This species is related to Ogcodes varius Latreille, judging 
from a specimen of 0. varius in the writer’s collection from the 
sandy steppes of Hungary. 
Ogcodes pallidipennis Loew. One small specimen, 3 mm. in 
length, taken by the writer in Mill Creek Canyon, San Bernar- 
dino Co. Cal. The specimen was sitting on a rock in the bright 
sunlight. 
The length of Ogcodes borealis Cole and 0. niger Cole was 
omitted in the original description; it is about 5 mm. in both 
species.
