Extract

Beaverlodge, July 19, 1931. I ♀ (Strickland.) This was described in 1878 as Panurgus maurus from specimens taken in Colorado. A related species is H. campanulae Ckll., from Washington State. In 1924 (Psyche XXXI, p. 243) I described H. crassipes from Oregon, supposed to be a member of this group. I no longer have access to a specimen, but I now think it is to be called Betheliella crassipes. The genus Betheliella was based (Entom. News, XXXV, 1924. p. 169) on B. calochorti Ckll., visiting Calochortus (Mariposa lily) in California.

* Professor Strickland has now sent a pair of P. borealis, which he took at Wabamun, June 28. The male runs in my tabe in Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., XXV (1898) p. 196 to P. parvus Rob., which it closely resembles. The face-marks are brigh lemon-yellow; they include all of the high clypeus, and large lateral marks abruptly leaving clypeus before upper end, the extensio along orbit pointed; no supraclypeal mark; labrum with a transverse yellow band; mandibles red with a small yellow spot on upper part of base; antennae entirely black; wings strongly darkened; front and middle tarsi dusky red. Female P. borealis has also been taken at Wetaskiwin, Aug. 3 (F. O. Morrison).
