Abstract

While collecting at Granite Peaks Camp (altitude: 9,000 ft.), near Bayfield, La Plata Co., Colorado, in July 1928, I captured a mated pair of Podalonia, the female of which was entirely black, while the abdomen of the male was partly ferruginous. Nothing much was thought of it at the time; but, having been in the habit of noting all Hymenoptera found mating in the field, I kept these two insects on the same pin. When, however, I came to study them with H. T. Fernald's recent monograph of the genus Podalonia (1927, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., LXXI, Art. 9), I found to my surprise that the female belonged to P. luctuosa (F. Smith), while the male was a P. violaceipennis (Lepeletier).
