Psyche 
[December 
extended to several species. The Pennsylvania female with 
hyaline wings recorded by Johnson in Psyche, 1918, p. 103, as 
undoubtedly belonging to Sackeni, is more likely a distinct 
species. 
Neopogon salinus, new species. 
Male .- — Length 9 mm. Entirely densely covered with 
whitish-gray pollen, abdomen incompletely fasciate with blackish- 
gray. Antennae cinereous, the style three-fourths the length of 
the third joint, mystax, hairs and postvertical row of bristles 
white. Hairs of mesonotum short and white, slightly longer on 
sides, scutellum bare; a few hairs on propleurae, pleurae otherwise 
bare, about eight setiform hairs in hypopleural row. First, 
fourth and eighth abdominal segments almost wholly whitish- 
gray, remaining segments with transverse blackish-gray marking, 
pile and bristles at sides of first segment white, hypopygium 
small, silvery, and white pilose, the hood-like covering pink and 
penicillate below, venter white-gray, bare at base, last four 
segments with double brush of yellowish-white hairs directed 
to the middle and covering a subshining space. Legs as heavily 
coated as body, nearly bare of hairs, bristles mainly white, claws, 
empodia and some of tarsal bristles black, pulvilli white. Hal- 
teres whitish yellow. Wings hyaline, with very faint yellowish 
tone, veins black, yellowish at base, neuration normal. 
Female.— Ijength 10 mm. Darkened markings of abdomen 
present on second to sixth segments, ovipositor, i. e. eighth 
ventral segment, shining beneath, tarsal bristles all white. 
Types . — Six specimens collected by Dr. J. M. Aldrich at 
Great Salt Lake, Utah, July 31, 1908. Type, allotype and two 
paratypes returned to the Aldrich collection. The species runs 
to N. Coquilletti in Bezzi’s table (Ann. Hung. Mus. 8. 147-153, 
1910) but that species has the abdomen colored as in the familiar 
N. trifasciatus, with a strong white band on fourth segment, the 
second and third segments dull black, and the fifth, sixth and 
seventh segments shining black.
