terminal lips rufous; palpi rufous, slightly thickened towards the tip. Thorax and scutellum cinereous ; 
thoracic dorsum with four black stripes,—the intermediate stripes linear, the outer ones interrupted at 
the transverse suture. Abdomen ovate, convex; first segment black; the following segments cinereous, 
with blackish-brown reflections, and (when viewed in some positions) narrow whitish front margins; 
macrochetz on the hind margins of the first, second, and third segments, and several, more irregularly 
placed, on the anal segment. Femora rufous; tibie dark rufous; tarsi black; middle tibie with some 
long bristles; hind tibie outwardly with bristles of unequal length; foot-claws and pulvilli short. 
Tegule whitish. Wings greyish-hyaline; small cross-vein a little before the middle of the discal cell; 
curvature of the fourth vein nearly rectangular; apical cross-vein concave; posterior cross-vein slightly 
curved. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (7. H. Smith). 
This species closely resembles Myohia succincta,?; but differs from it by the
