ANISIA. 195 
17. Anisia morionella, sp. n., 3. 
Shining black ; thorax with obsolete stripes; palpi rufous; posterior cross-vein curved. 
Length 5°25 millim. 
Front narrowed behind and there narrower than the eyes ; frontal band black, broad ; frontal bristles descending 
to beneath the second antennal joint ; lateral portions of the front, the face, cheeks, and posterior orbits 
of the eyes whitish. Antenne black, distinctly shorter than the face; second joint bristly ; third joint 
three times as long as the second; arista thickened in its proximal third. Proboscis black; palpi pale 
rufous, filiform. Thorax and scutellum shining black; thoracic dorsum anteriorly with a slight grey 
tomentum and inconspicuous black stripes. Abdomen conical, shining black, without any whitish 
markings, but densely haired, and with discal and marginal macrochete. Legs long and slender, black ; 
the femora with many bristly hairs; middle tibie with two long bristles, one on the inner and one on 
the outer side; hind tibie outwardly with several bristles of unequal length; foot-claws and pulvilli 
elongate, the pulvilli yellowish. Tegule yellowish-grey. Wings greyish, more obscure towards the costa ; 
small cross-vein on the middle of the discal cell; apical and | posterior cross-veins oblique, the former 
straight, the latter distinctly curved. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (Hl. H. Smith). 
A single male specimen. 
This species much resembles Degeeria longipes (antea, p. 155), but differs by the 
absence of bristles on the facial ridges, and by the curved posterior cross-vein. 
18. Anisia pullata, sp.n., ¢. 
Shining black ; thorax anteriorly greyish, with obsolete stripes ; palpi rufous ; posterior cross-vein straight. 
Length 3°5 millim. 
Head greyish-white ; front as broad as the eyes; frontal band black, nearly as broad as the lateral portions ; 
_ frontal bristles descending beneath the second antennal joint; eyes with some weak hairs (which, how- 
ever, are only visible under a strong lens). Antenne black, shorter than the face; second joint with 
short bristles; third joint three times as long as the second; arista thickened nearly to the middle. 
Proboscis black ; palpi rufous, filiform. Thorax and scutellum shining black; thoracic dorsum ante- 
riorly with some grey tomentum and indistinct black stripes, the grey tomentum most ‘conspicuous on the 
shoulders and obliquely extended to a band on the pleure. Abdomen ovate, shining black, with discal 
and marginal macrochete. Legs black; middle tibie with some long bristles; hind tibia outwardly 
with several bristles of unequal length ; foot-claws and pulvilli short. Tegule whitish. Wings greyish- 
hyaline, with a dilute brownish tint towards the costa ; small cross-vein nearly on the middle of the discal 
cell; apical and posterior cross-veins straight. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
A single female specimen. 
At first sight, this insect might be mistaken for the other sex of A. morionelia ; 
but the striking difference in the form of the posterior cross-vein (distinctly curved in 
A. morionella, straight in A. pullata) and its smaller size seem to prove the contrary. 
19. Anisia inepta, sp. n., ?. 
Cinereous ; frontal band, four thoracic stripes, hind borders of the abdominal segments, antenne, and legs 
black ; palpi rufous. 
Length 6 millim. 
Front yellowish-cinereous, with nearly parallel sides, and a little narrower than the eyes ; frontal band linear ; 
frontal bristles descending as far as the end of the second antennal joint; face, cheeks, and posterior 
orbits of the eyes whitish. Antenne shorter than the face ; second joint bristly ; third joint three or
