long hairs, hypopygium rather small, ascending, the claspers subhem- 

 ispherical, thinly covered on the outer surface with rather long hairs, 

 on the posterior portion bearing an oval, hairy process, near the middle 

 of the inner side with a short, black, subcylindrical, hairy process, and 

 at the apex bearing a long hairy process nearly as long as the clasper, 

 of the shape of a half cylinder, the processes of the two claspei's pressed 

 together and having a circular opening near the apex of the upper 

 side ; filament appressed to the body of the hypopygium ; front and 

 hind sides of the front and middle tibiae and under side of the middle 

 femora densely covered with rather long hairs, legs elsewhere more 

 sparsely covered with similar hairs, middle femora distinctly arcuate; 

 wings whitish hyaline, stigma pale brown, veins normal, yellow and 

 brown, last section of fifth vein one and one-half times as long as the 

 preceding section, sixth vein reaches the wing margin but is colorless 

 from apex of anal cell two-thirds of distance to the wing margin. 

 Length 10 mm. A male specimen, collected July 9. 



Habitat. Popof Island, Alaska. 



Type. Cat. no. 5221, U. S. National Museum. 



Closely related to quinquelineata, but readily distinguished by the

 second joint bearing many long hairs on their upper side, first joint of
