I have not seen the types nor have I been able to refer as yet any Western Chrysopili to this species. A copy of the original description therefore follows:
"Male: Head black; occiput, frontal triangle, face and cheeks dusted with bluish gray pollen; pile sparse and white; antennae dark brown, the third joint lighter than the other two, proboscis yellowish, palpi brown, pile white; ocellar tubercle prominent. Thorax black; mesonotum with grayish brown pollen, that of the humeri and lateral margins gray, tomentum golden yellow; pleurae light gray pollinose, with light colored pile above front coxae and behind and below base of wings; scutellum grayish brown, covered with golden yellow tomentum; metanotum light gray pollinose, hal teres yellow, knobs brownish black. Abdomen black; first segment light gray pollinose, in others, opaque black, and in others still the segments appear to be the former color on the apex and the latter on the base; pile
white tomentum golden yellow. Coxae blackish, apex with a yellowish cast; pollen light gray; femora and tibiae light yellow; tarsi yellowish at base, black at apex. Wings hyaline, anterior branch of third vein without stump.
"Female: Same as male except the antennae and palpi are darker, the abdomen is uniformly gray pollinose; knobs of hal teres yellow, trochanters are blackish, and bend of anterior branch of the third vein is rectangular and with a stump. Length, 5.75-6 mm.
"Two male specimens from California and one female from Washington."

Black in ground color, the better preserved specimens densely covered on the mesonotum and abdomen with golden appressed tomentum; face and pleura grayish pollinose; femora yellowish, sometimes entirely or only towards apex tinged with brownish; tibiae somewhat darker than femora and tarsi brownish ; wings almost clear, stigma not very distinct and brownish yellow.
Male. — Length 5 to 6 mm. Head: Antennae black, somewhat grayish pruinose, bare ; palpi only moderately long and with moderately long, fairly numerous whitish to yellowish hairs ; face bare, black, overlaid with grayish pollen ; below and behind the eyes rather numerous and rather long yellowish hairs; ocellar tubercle prominent, grayish pollinose and with several long black hairs.
Thorax: Blackish; mesonotum densely golden tomentose with sparse longer yellowish hairs on sides of disc; scutellum also golden tomentose and with longer yellowish hairs towards caudal border; pleura grayish pollinose with long yellowish hairs in front of halteres; halteres yellowish, the knobs more or less infuscated.
Legs: Coxae grayish pollinose like the pleura, with sparse, long yellowish hairs; femora typically yellowish but often tinged more or less especially towards the apex with brownish; tibiae about like the femora but usually somewhat darker on the whole, especially towards apex; tarsi brownish, except towards base of first segment, which is brownish yellow.
Wings: Membrane almost hyaline; veins brownish yellow to brownish; stigma rather elongate, diffuse, brownish yellow.
Female. — Length, 6 to 6.5 mm. Like the male except that front has a brownish

cast to the pollen and with sparse short black hairs and sparser golden tomentum, which latter in better preserved specimens, may I presume, be thicker; also, if I associate the two sexes correctly the stigma is darker and more distinct in the female.
Specimens Examined: 6; 5 males, 1 female.
