SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM
PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM
VOLUME 51
WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE 1917
ADVERTISEMENT.
The scientific publications of the National Museum consist of two series—Proceedings and Bulletins.
The Proceedings, the first volume of which was issued in 1878, are intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, setting forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology derived there- from, or containing descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. A volume is issued annually or oftener for distribution to libraries and scientific establishments, and, in view of the importance of the more prompt dissemination of new facts, a limited edition of each paper is printed in pamphlet form in advance. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of the volume.
The present volume is the fifty-first of this series.
The Bulletin, publication of which was begun in 1875, is a series of more elaborate papers, issued separately, and, like the Proceedings, based chiefly on the collections of the National Museum.
A quarto form of the Bulletin, known as the “Special Bulletin,” has been adopted in a few instances in which a larger page was deemed indispensable.
Since 1902 the volumes of the series known as “‘Contributions from the National Herbarium,” and containing papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum, have been published as Bulletins.

DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW LEPIDOPTERA FROM MEXICO.
By Harrison G. Dyar,
Custodian of Lepidoptera, United States National Museum.
This is the fifth paper describing new species of Lepidoptera from Mexico. The Museum is indebted, as before, to Messrs. Roberto Miller and William Schaus for the material, also to Mr. B. Preston Clark for many fine things from a fresh region, and for one species to Mr. W. D. Kearfott.
The present paper comprises 111 new species, 3 new subspecies, 7 new genera, reference to the synonymy of one previously known species and one synoptic table.
Superfamily PAPILIONOIDEA.
Family RIODINIDAE. Genus CARIA Hiibner.
CARIA RABATTA, new species.
Wings with fulvous ground showing, the veins smoky-lined; basal, medial and terminal areas smoky, making the ground spotted; five lines of black spots across the wing between the veins, the fourth row becoming elongate, the fifth submarginal and round; a few leaden blue scales in the black marks, especially on the discal cross-vein and fourth row. Hind wing similar, with a line of leaden scales margi- nally beyond the last row of spots. Beneath dark fulvous, the inner area of both wings fuscous; black spots distinct and marked with metallic leaden, the basal rows somewhat confused. Expanse, 24 mm.
Type.—No. 18824, U.S.N.M.; Sierra de Guerrero, Mexico, No- vember, 1913 (R. Miiller).
IPIDECLA, new genus.

HEMIHYALEA RHODA Druce.
Phaegoptera rhoda Drucr, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, vol. 3, 1894, p. 173.
Hemihyalea fuscescens RotuscHitp, Nov. Zool., vol. 16, 1909, p. 277.
I identify this form by the descriptions of Druce and Hampson, since the figure in the Biologia Centrali-Americana (pl. 74, fig. 17) is apparently misleading and indistinguishable from daraba Druce, except for the brown thorax, which varies. True rhoda (=fuscescens Rothschild) is distinguishable from daraba by being gray-brown, without any pure ocher, which appears at the bases of the wings and in the bands of daraba, even of the more hyaline variations. The determinations in the collection before me are much mixed.

Nearly allied to H. grotelliformis Barnes and McDunnough.! Barnes and McDunnough place the genus in the Erastriinae, but I have preferred the Acronyctinae on general habitus, especially as some of the species of Antaplaga show vein 5 of hind wing about as well developed as in Homolagoa and in much the same position.

ovate, about half the length of the funicle. Mandibles 10-dentate. Marginal vein slightly longer than the submarginal, over thrice the length of the stigmal, the latter much shorter than the postmarginal which is not quite half the length of the marginal. Hind tibial spurs double. Pronotum transverse-linear; scutellum simple.
The apparent male is smaller with the flagellum brown, the legs white except the caudal tibiae and middle and caudal femora (an- other specimen bore legs colored as in the female). The scape is com- pressed and widened below, the second ring-joint very short, the third club joint larger and with a terminal spine yet acute. The first three funicle joints each bear a long branch from the same side at base. Mandibles about 7-dentate. The two male forms differed considerably in the details of the antennae and I do not like to connect either one definitely as yet to this species. The mandibles were 5-dentate in the form colored unlike the female. There is a white stripe across the abdomen just out from base and the parapsidal furrows are com- plete yet obscure.
Described from two females and several males reared from larvae of Desmia funeralis, Fairfax County, Virginia, June 6 (J. F. Strauss).
Types.—Cat. No. 19629, U.S.N.M., two females on a tag; the head, the hind tibiae, and the antennae on a slide.
This species is somewhat similar to the female of Cratotechus larva- rum Linnaeus (Thomson), which has the minute third joint of the club tubular and the first ring-joint very short; but in Zarvarwm there are only three funicle joints. There are in the United States National Museum three specimens labeled as being this species, apparently in Thomson’s handwriting, two females labeled “ Silvestri, Italy, Octo- ber 7, 1902”—and another which bears the specific label and is lo- calized at Blankenburg, Thuringia. I doubt the identity of these very much excepting the third). Two females in the same collec- tion, labeled Cratotechus ungularis Thomson, had the antennae 10- jointed, with three funicle and club joints and the third club joint large and distinct. In this species wngularis the hind tibial spurs are double, an incidented observation here. The specimens were labeled “ Blankenburg, Thur. 2.” Cratotechus smerinthi Ashmead, female, has antennae like ungularis, that is as to segmentation. Type examined. The club is somewhat enlarged, the first ring-joint much shorter than the second; the third club joint terminates in no distinct spine, but its apex is nippled a little. The funicle is 3-jointed in Trichogramma (Cratotechus) orgyiae (Fitch) which appears cor- rectly placed now.
The species is dedicated to Henrik Ibsen.
In the genotype of Dimmockia the mandibles are large, broadly truncate at apex, 10-dentate, the antennae are brownish, the pedicel

longer, funicle 2 quadrate and 3 or 4 not as wide as in ibseni; the club has an apparent small, obtuse nipple-like third joint, but this is not articulated as in ébsené and per se does not bear a terminal spine. Dimmockia bears two ring-joints, the antennae 10-jointed, with two club and four funicle joints. The head is stouter (longer from oc- ciput to face) than with ibseni, but the latter is very similar to the Dimmockia both in color and structure. The latter bears two hind tibial spurs.

SOME DIPTERA (MICRODON) FROM NESTS OF ANTS.
By T. D. A. Cockrrenh aNp Hazen ANDREWS.
Of the University of Colorado, Boulder.
An excellent summary of our knowledge of the biology of the syrphid genus M/icrodon has been given by Dr. W. M. Wheeler,’ while the taxonomy of the North American species has been fully discussed by Dr. S. W. Williston.? A new species from Colorado was reported by Cockerell many years ago,’ but was not described. W. A. Snow‘ de- scribed a new species from the male as Microdon megalogaster; in the Aldrich catalogue this is said to be from Colorado, but no locality is cited by Snow, and evidently he did not know where the specimen came from. Snow’s paper is mainly on Syrphidae from Colorado, but he says in his prefatory note that the material discussed is “chiefly ” from the Colorado collection, implying that part of it is from another source. Doubt is also thrown upon the locality “Colorado” by the fact that Townsend described as M. bombiformis what appears to be the female of the same species from Virginia, while Johnson reports the species from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It may be stated that a specimen from Pecos, New Mexico (W. P. Cockerell), was referred to Snow’s species by Coquillett; this is in the United States National Museum, and Mr. Knab informs us that it is a female of our J/. coloradensis. Wheeler gives good reasons for thinking that all the records of the breeding of M/icrodon in the United States refer to a single species, M. tristis Loew. The junior author of this paper was fortunate in breeding two species from larvae found in nests of Formica in Colorado in the spring of 1915. Upon examination, it seems that one of these is undescribed while the exact position of the other seems somewhat uncertain, so they are characterized herewith.

clothed with brassy yellow pile; front broad, inner orbits parallel: distance from ocelli to antennae much less than least distance between the eyes; ocelli approximate; antennae black, the first joint slightly shorter than the two following together, second joint about (or slightly over) half as long as third; third joint considerably shorter than first, pointed at tip; thorax black, with obscure purplish and green tints, the dorsum clothed with fox-red pile; scutellum short, rounded, transverse but projecting, not emarginate, its pile longer and brighter red than that on mesothorax; abdomen short, broad, black, pile long on margins of segments, reddish yellow, abundant on first and second segments, especially at sides, and on apical margin of third; legs black, femora and tibiae clothed with reddish yellow pile; hind basitarsi not as long as remaining joints together, the whole hind tarsi thick, but the basitarsi not especially so; wings pale gray, veins black- ish; vein forming outer side of discal cell strongly curved, finally directed upward Bag. 2. —2vonoDon coronabensis- forming an obtuse angle on outer side with
vein bounding first posterior cell; distance on upper side of first posterior cell from base to stump less than from stump to end; halteres cream color.
Female.—A little larger, width of abdomen over 7 mm.; differs from male in having the pile on head and thorax whitish yellow; pile on abdomen forming a broad pale yellowish shining band on hind margin of first segment, but black on sides of that segment anteriorly; on the other segments thin and black, with a few pale hairs on lateral hind margins of third segment.
Pupa.—Of the usual form and red- dish color; length 10.5-12.5 mm., width 7.5 mm., height 5.5 mm.; easily distinguished from those of J/. tristis and varieties by the absence of raised lines or other distinct sculpture; the surface is uneven, with small and obscure pustuliform elevations, arranged more or less in longitudinal rows. The posterior tubercle is relatively long and narrow, its length conspicuously greater than its apical breadth, whereas in ¢ristis, variety, it is broad and short, its length much less than the apical breadth.
Egg—tLong-oval, white, about 1.75 mm. long, the surface regularly and densely beset with protuberances, giving a coarsely granular ap- pearance under a lens.

FIG. 2.—MICRODON COLORADENSIS. Eaa.
no. 2141. DIPTERA FROM ANTS NES TS—COCKERELL AND ANDREWS. 55
Habitat—Boulder, Colorado. Two of the soft, slug-like larvae were found in a nest of Formica fusca argentea Wheeler, April 13, 1915, at the foot of Flagstaff Hill, Boulder. They were placed in a glass jar with soil and some of the ants, and a third larva, found later, was added. On April 15, one of the larvae became a pupa. On May 14, two male flies hatched, and two days later a female appeared. On June 8 a female was caught at Pulpit Rock, Boulder. The type is a male. This is a large robust species, the sexes with quite differently colored hair, but both having the front broad. It is much larger than M. tristis, and differently colored. The size suggests M/. megaloqaster (Lombiformis), but the color is different, and the front of the male is not narrowed in the middle, while the second antennal-joint is much more than a third the length of third. It is larger than M/. xanthopi- lis Townsend, from California, and quite differently colored; in xanthopilis the hair is entirely brassy yellow (more orange in the male), without black.
MICRODON TRISTIS, subspecies.
Female—Robust; length (not including antennae), 12 mm.; width of abdomen, 6 mm.; length of wing, 9 mm.; general color, black, with shining pale hair; antennae, black; front broad, but narrower than face; scutellum with a pair of small tubercles, hidden by hair; penultimate segment of abdomen at sides nearly or quite as long as the two preceding together. Head black, clothed with glittering very pale yellowish pile; eyes bare; transverse groove of front shallow, above it the integument is purplish black, while behind the eyes it is very faintly greenish; antennae elongate, first joint longer than third, second more than a third length of third, but not nearly half; thorax purplsh-black, with rosy or coppery tints on disk, thinly clothed with hair like that of head; abdomen black, with extremely faint greenish tints; glistening pale hair on lateral margins of segments, covering dorsal surface of first segment, hind margin of second (broadened in middle), and forming a very broad band, widely interrupted in mid- dle, along posterior marginal area of third, apical part of abdomen with scattered pale hair; the apparently bare parts of abdomen have thin black hair; legs black, with pale hair, orange on inner side of tarsi; hind tarsi thickened; wings dilute cinereous, pale reddish basally and in costal region, outer veins bordered by dusky clouds; outer corners of first posterior and discal cells broadly rounded, that of first posterior minutely appendiculate, but discal not; angle formed on outer side by first posterior and discal cells a little greater than a right angle; stump in first posterior cell before middle.
Male.—Superficially exactly like female, with the same colors, ex- cept that first abdominal segment is more distinctly green; front strongly narrowed above, the transverse groove, at the narrowest

point, strong; hair band on apical part of second abdominal segment interrupted; apical region with much pale glistening hair; first posterior cell not appendiculate; hind tarsi thick, but basitarsi hardly broader than next joint.
Pupa—tLength 12 mm., width 8, height 5 (female), or length 10.5 mm., width 7, height 4.5 (male). Surface sculpture essentially as in M. tristis, figured by Wheeler, except that the space between the mid- most longitudinal raised lines is fully equal to those between these lines and the next, instead of being much less. Color deep red-brown.
Habitat—Boulder, Colorado. This is almost certainly the new species recorded from Wet Mountain Valley in 1893. A pupa was found at Boulder a few years ago, but being isolated from its proper environment gave only a crippled male fly, whose wings did not ex- pand. Pupae were found May 1, 1915, in a nest of Yormica rufa aggerans Wheeler, at Boulder. They were kept in a jar with the ants, and on May 23 a fly of each sex emerged. The specimens described are in the United States National Museum.
This is certainly allied to I/. tristis Loew, but is considerably larger, with the first antennal joint entirely black, the outer angle formed by the first posterior and discal cells larger, thorax above with coppery and brassy (not green or bluish) tints. The dark tibiae and tarsi, and the absence of black pile on the front, show that this is neither M. tristis ruficrus Williston nor I/. tristis cothurnatus Bigot. The last antennal joint is flattened at end, so that it appears obtuse in one view and acute in another. It is probable that it represents a west- ern subspecies of J/. tristis.1
1 Since the above was put in type, Mr. Chas. W. Johnson has published an article in Psyche, vol. 23, June, 1916, p. 75, in which re reviews the subject of M. tristis and cothurnatus. According to the interpretation there given, one Colorado species falls with M. cothurnatus, which is distinct from tristis.

ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL FORMS OF THE PHILIPPINE ELEGANT TITMOUSE, PARDALIPARUS ELEGANS (LESSON), WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW SUBSPECIES.
By Epncar ALExanper Mrarns,
Associate in Zoology, United States National Museum.
As a whole, including its subspecies, Pardaliparus elegans ranges from the islands of Tawi Tawi and Sulu, south of the Sulu Sea, north through the middle Philippine Islands to the Babuyanes Islands (Calayan and Camiguin, north of Luzon), or, approximately, from the 5th to the 20th degree of north latitude and from the 120th to the 127th degree of east longitude. It has not been recorded from the eastern islands, Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and the Dinagat group; and west of the Sulu Sea, on the islands of Palawan and Balabac, it is replaced by a distinct species, Pardaliparus amabilis (Sharpe), which has no yellow band on the side of the head and neck, which are en- tirely black.
The species Pardaliparus elegans was described by Lesson in the year 1831. Subsequently three additional forms of it, mindanensis, albescens, and edithw, were described by Mearns and McGregor; of these, the last two were considered as full species until Hellmayr? placed them in their true relation as subspecies of Pardaliparus ele- gans. In the present paper three additional subspecies are described as follows:
PARDALIPARUS ELEGANS PANAYENSIS, new subspecies. PANAY TITMOUSE.
Parus elegans STEERE, List Birds and Mamm. Steere Expedition, 1890, p. 21 (part ; Panay ).—WoORCESTER and Bourns, Proc. U. 8S. Nat. Mus., vol. 20, 1898, p. 560 (part; Panay).

Subspecific characters—Most closely related to Pardaliparus ele- gans albescens (McGregor), with which it agrees in the clear yellow color of the under parts, sides of head, and nuchal patch, but differs in having less black on the upper back and the back and rump over- washed with pale greenish gray instead of white. In panayensis the scapulars are almost as heavily blotched with white terminal spots as in albescens, and the white terminal spotting of the wing-coverts, ter- tials, secondaries, and inner primaries have about the same extent. The white spots on the middle portion of the outer webs of the four outer rectrices are smaller in panayensis, as are also the apical white spots.
Measurements of type (adult male).—Wing, 64; tail, 39; culmen, 9 (about; extreme tip gone) ; tarsus, 17.
PARDALIPARUS ELEGANS GUIMARASENSIS, new subspecies.
GUIMARAS TITMOUSE.
Parus elegans STEERE, List Birds and Mamm. Steere Expedition, 1890, p. 21 (part; Guimaras).—WoRcESTER and Bourns, Proc. U. 8S. Nat. Mus., vol. 20, 1898, p. 560 (part; Guimaras).
Pardaliparus elegans McGrecor and WorcrEstTER, Hand-List Birds Philip- pine Islands, 1906, p. 94 (part; Guimaras).—McGrereor, Manual of Philippine Birds, 1909, p. 605 (part; Guimaras).
Ty pe-specimen.—Adult (?) female, Cat. No. 161448, U.S.N.M.; col- lected on the Island of Guimaras, Philippine Islands, December 28, 1887, by D. C. Worcester. (No original number.)
Subspecific characters —Most closely related to Pardaliparus ele- gans mindanensis Mearns, from which it differs principally in being of duller coloration, with less black on the upper back, and with the back, scapulars, and rump dull yellowish gray, with a tendency to pale yellowish central or apical spots to the feathers of the mantle, and a greenish wash on therump. As in mindanensis, the white wing- spots are washed with yellow. The under parts, sides of head and neck, and the elongated nuchal patch are slightly deeper yellow than in panayensis.
Measurements of type (adult female).—Wing, 63; tail, 38; culmen, 10; tarsus, 16.
Remarks.—Possibly the type-specimen is subadult, although it has the black on head and throat and was killed late in the month of December.

Type-spectmen.—Adult male, Cat. No. 233279, U.S.N.M.; collected on the Island of Sulu, Philippine Islands, September 9, 1891, by D. C. Worcester and F. S. Bourns. (Original number, 1387.)
Subspecijic characters—This form is closest to Pardaliparus ele- gans guimarasensis and P. e. mindanensis. The upper parts are more distinctly greenish than in any other form of P. elegans. The yellow parts (chest, abdomen, crissum, sides of head and neck, and nuchal patch) area trifle paler and more greenish yellow than in mindanensis and guimarasensis, and the feathers of the mantle have pale yellowish green central or apical spots, suggesting the pattern of P. e. albescens ; but the scapulars are unspotted grayish green. The white or whitish wing-spots are of medium size and very faintly washed with yellow.
Measurements of type (adult male).—Wing, 61; tail, 35; culmen, 9.5; tarsus, 16.
The known forms of Pardaliparus elegans now stand as follows:
