SMULYAN: NEW ENGLAND TENTHREDELLA. 435 
In one specimen from "Mass." the yellow was represented 
throughout by a bleached straw color. 
Male. — The male differs from the female as follows: basal 
segment of antennae yellowish inside and there may be also a 
longitudinal Kne outside; the pectus entirely yellow, or pale yel- 
low, and the meso-epimeron the same except a narrow lower 
border; the basal segments of the intermediate tarsi may show a 
longitudinal black line above. 
Length. — Females, 10.5-12 mm.; males, 9-9.5 mm. 
Redescribed from thirteen females and two males. 
After studying the types and examining additional material, I 
do not hesitate to call simulata (MacGillivray) a synonym of 
this species. The description of simulata is not quite complete. 
The second abdominal tergum, except its sides, is black, not 
yellowish white, as it might be understood, and the intermediate 
and posterior femora are with longitudinal black bands above, 
as in secunda. 
Habitat. — Auburndale (June) , and Winchendon, Massachu- 
setts; Franconia, and Mt. Washington ("near summit"), New 
Hampshire; Round Bluff, and Machias, ]\Iaine (July and 
August); Saguenay River, Quebec (July), and Ontario, Canada.

The female type from Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, is 
lost. The male "typo" from IMaine, type number 206, is in the 
collection of the American Entomological Society, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania. This male is certainly not typical, and must be 
looked upon as a variant, if it is a male of this species at all. 
The type of Tenthredo nova MacGillivray is in the collection 
of Doctor MacGillivray, Urbana, Illinois, and was (>xamined. 
Type locality, Mt. Washington, New Hampshire.
