Brachynemurus brunneus, new species.
Male.—Length, 40 mm.; expanse of wings, 55.4 mm.; greatest width of anterior wing, 6.4 mm.; length of antenna, 7 mm. Slender, prevailing colour fuscous, markings luteous; sparsely clothed with black and white hairs, more thickly so on abdomen.
Face scarcely convex; lower part luteous; covered above by a broad piceous band which encircles the antennæ furrow between face and inner orbit of the eye fuscous. Circumocular area luteous, except along vertex, where it is mostly dark fuscous, and near the maxillary palpiger, where there is a fuscous spot. Clypeus luteous, rather short. Labrum transverse, luteous; rounded laterally and narrowed anteriorly emarginate in front. Mandibles piceous, black at tips.
page 273 note * One male specimen, labelled “Dunsmuir, Cal., Wickham,’ has a faint transverse foscous line or series of dots separating the face from the clypeus. The female specimens have a fuscous clouding on each side of clypeus
page 274 note * In one male specimen, collected at Dunsmuir, California, by Mr. H. F. Wickham, the anterior band is very indistinctly separated from the fuscous depressed portion of the vertex.
page 274 note † This line is usually most distinct in front of the transverse furrow, where it becomes a good-sized spot; it is interrupted at the furrow and in the male specimens is only faintly indicated behind it.
page 274 note ‡ This line is divided into two parts in the females.
page 275 note * Can. Ent., XXX., 5, 1898, p. 136.
page 275 note † Two of the females (co-types) have this line quite apparent, especially the specimen from Los Angeles, California, collected by Mr. D. W. Conquillett.
