diverge; often a dark line along inner edge of eyes. Palpi mostly 
black, including last joint. Basal antennal joint with two stripes 
nearly black, and very prominent, usually also a third shorter stripe ; 
second joint with a black ring or more fully black; rest of antennae 
pale for some distance, but toward tip often a stretch of nearly black 
joints. 
The pale legs nearly always have a dark spot on under side of the 
femur near tip, most prominent on hind legs ; sometimes the tibiae 
show a cross-band of brown near base. Hairs on pronotum mostly 
black, and also most of those on the abdomen. 
Fore wings with many of the cross-veins, and the gradates wholly 
black, especially costals and radials; longitudinal veins often also 
may be almost wholly dark, but in many cases they are dark at 
connections and elsewhere more or less dotted. Radial area plainly 
a little broader than costal area, marginal area plainly broader than 
cubital area, six cubitals beyond the divisory cell, latter not much 
narrowed at base, ending beyond the cross-vein above. About eight- 
een to twenty costal cross-veins ; three or four subcostal cross-veins 
at stigma, and each dark and bordered with yellowish brown; gra- 
dates two to four inner; and about as many outer ones, well sep- 
arated. Sometimes the cross-veins are not entirely black, especially 
in teneral specimens. 
At the tip of the abdomen of the male the lower projecting piece 
is larger and less tapering than in punctinervis. 
This species occurs over most of the western states, and often in 
mountainous areas, but not as common as punctinervis. 
Eremochrysa rufina sp. nov. 
Face with a reddish fan-shaped mark under antennae, broad 
below, ending on each side in three branches, other small reddish 
spots on lower face, palpi marked with dark; vertex with a narrow 
angulate line above antennae, another across the front margin of 
the elevated area, also somewhat irregular marks each side on the 
elevated area, and a reddish spot each side close to eye. Antennae 
not marked on basal joint, second joint faintly rufous, about three 
joints beyond are black, and four or five with a basal black ring. 
Pronotum narrowed in front, each side broadly dark reddish; 
rest of thorax and abdomen above dark reddish-brown, the abdomen 
near tip with some white spots ; pleura and venter pale ; hairs white, 
as also on pronotum; legs pale, unmarked. Wings with dull brown
