Neaspilota (Neorellia) brunneostigmata Doane
Neaspilota brunneostigmata Doane, 1899:187.—Cole and Lovett, 1921:326 [list].—Curran, 1932a:3 [key].—Benjamin, 1934:36 [key].—Foote and Blanc, 1963:33 [review].—Foote, 1965:672 [catalog].—Cole, 1969:355 [review].—Wasbauer, 1972:119 [host list].
Neaspilota brunneistigma [sic].—Aldrich, 1905:610 [catalog].—Malloch, 1942:19 [key].—Quisenberry, 1949:84 [key].
DESCRIPTION.—Resembling N. punctistigma but differing as follows: wing length 3.08 to 4.28 mm.
Head (Figure 85): Higher than long; frontal-head ratio 0.53–0.55; frontal ratio 0.80–0.89; 1st flagellomere ratio 1.55–1.76; aristal-antennal ratio 1.14–1.36; gena about as wide as antenna; haustellum shorter than labella; major setae pale brown, genal seta sometimes paler.
Thorax: Dorsocentral setae transversely aligned slightly behind anterior supra-alar setae, pale brown, anepimeral and katepisternal setae sometimes paler. Legs: Hindtibia lacking semierect setae preapically and posteroventrally; fifth tarsomere of male foreleg (Figure 86) with claws about equally long, with spines extended nearly to middle of tarsomere; same tarsomere dark brown to black (darker than rest of leg, which is yellowish), sometimes 4th or 4th and 3rd tarsomeres of foreleg, and 5th tarsomere of mid- and hindleg also darker; 5th tarsomere of female distinctly, although sometimes very slightly, darker than rest of tarsomeres (dark color espescially obvious when tarsomere viewed obliquely). Wing (Figure 193): Pterostigmal ratio 2.88–3.38; crossvein ratio 1.69–2.27; veins R4+5 and M almost straight, wing apex closer to end of vein M; wing mainly hyaline, pterostigma yellow, becoming increasingly brown toward base, but not dark brown; veins yellow, toward apex brown, sometimes extensively brown.
Abdomen: Entirely yellow or with black bands; terga 4–5 of male often, terga 3–6 of female rarely with narrow black bands at anterior margin, sometimes interrupted in middle; epandrium and cerci as in Figures 87, 88; distiphallus as in Figure 89. Female: Tergal ratio 0.75–0.87; tergal-oviscapal measure 3.2–4.5; oviscapal ratio 1.33–1.66; oviscape yellow, sometimes somewhat brown dorsally at base; aculeus as in Figures 90, 91; spermatheca (Figure 92) wider than long.
TYPE MATERIAL.—The female lectotype, designated by Foote (1966), is labeled “Pullman Wash[ington] Collector C. V. Piper/ 25 [handwritten in pencil]/Type [handwritten]/Type 94 [red; handwritten]/brunneostigma [red; handwritten].” The lectotype is directly pinned, is in fair condition (the right wing has been removed and is slide mounted), and is deposited in the Maurice T. James Insect Collection, Washington State University, WSU 12.

DISTRIBUTION (Figure 93).—Widespread in western North America between 31° and 52° north latitude and between 101° and 120° west longitude.
HOST PLANTS.—Some of the specimens that Foote and Blanc (1963:34) recorded as reared from Aster spinosus and that we examined were misidentified and are N. viridescens. Other plants Wasbauer (1972:119) recorded as hosts for this species (Aster spinosus, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus, Corethrogyne filaginifolia var. incana, Corethrogyne filaginifolia var. virgata, Erigeron sp., Haplopappus Goodingii (as H. spinulosus turbinellus), Heterotheca villosa, and Machaeranthera canescens) have not been confirmed.
