TELOTHYRIA. 173 
Three specimens, which I regard as males, owing to the front being narrowed behind, 
though the foot-claws and pulvilli are short. 
7. Telothyria connexa, sp. n.,<. 
Black ; head white; thoracic dorsum cinereous, with four black stripes; intermediate abdominal segments 
partly with cinereous tomentum; macrochete very short ; hind tibiz outwardly fringe-like with bristles, 
and with a longer bristle below the middle ; palpi rufous. 
Length 5°5-6 millim. 
Allied to 7. fimbricrura, but differing in some essential respects:—The head is white, and even somewhat 
silvery ; the thoracic dorsum has more grey tomentum and four distinct black stripes; the cinereous 
tomentum on the second and third abdominal segments is not extended to the hind borders, which are 
black; a black dorsal stripe is sometimes visible; on the outside of the hind tibiz a longer bristle arises 
among the others. The black anal segment is very shining ; beneath it a pair of filiform prominences are 
turned towards the venter. 
Hab. Mexico, Venta de Zopilote 2800 feet and Amula 6000 feet, both in Guerrero 
(H. H. Smith). 
Three male specimens. 
8. Telothyria humeralis, sp. n., 3. 
Shining black ; humeral spots and reflections on the abdominal segments whitish ; palpi rufous; base and costa 
of the wings brownish. 
Length 4°5 millim. 
Head whitish-grey ; front narrower than the eyes; frontal band black ; frontal bristles descending as far as 
the end of the second antennal joint; vibrisse at a little distance above the oral margin. Antennse 
black; third joint four times as long as the second; arista thickened to the proximal half. Proboscis 
black ; palpi pale rufous. Thorax, scutellum, and abdomen shining black ; humeral spots, a band from 
the shoulders to the middle coxm, and reflecting spots on the front borders of the second and third 
abdominal segments whitish; abdomen subcylindrical, with conspicuous discal and marginal macrochete. 
Legs black, bristly; hind tibie with several rather long bristles ; foot-claws and pulvilli elongate. 
Tegule yellowish-cinereous. Wings greyish-hyaline, brownish at the base and along the costa; small 
cross-vein on the middle of the discal cell; apical cross-vein nearly straight; posterior cross-vein concave. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
A male specimen. 
9. Telothyria hamata, sp. n.,<. 
Black ; face, humeral spots, and narrow front margins to the abdominal segments white; palpi pale rufous ; 
discal and marginal macrocheete present. 
Length 3°25 millim. 
Front narrow, blackish ; frontal band represented by a single groove, on each side of which the frontal bristles 
are ranged in a curved row, reaching to beneath the root of the antenne. Face and cheeks bluish-white, 
the cheeks narrow; eyes descending to the vibrisse, which are surmounted by some shorter bristles; beard 
white. Antenne brownish-black; third joint nearly four times as long as the second ; arista thickened 
to the middle and then suddenly becoming as fine as a hair. Proboscis black; palpi small, filiform, pale 
rufous. Thorax and scutellum black, opaque ; on the shoulders a whitish spot, which on the outside is 
prolonged backwards and united to a small white margin in the side of the transverse suture. Abdomen 
conical, nearly cylindrical, shining black ; the front margins of the second and following segments narrowly
