614 TERTIARY INSECTiS OF NORTH AMERICA. 



inward and backward (not forward) and reticulated as if more or less punc- 

 tate in life. The head, thorax, and abdomen are of about equal width. 



Length of wing-, 4.5™™.

ECLYTUS Holmgren. 



Eci.YTUS LUTATUS. 

 PI. 10, Fig. 24. 



The single specimen is preserved on a side view, with one wing droop- 

 ing. A portion of the moderately- stout antennae is preserved, showing them 

 to be at least nearly as long as the body, and the middle joints to be rather 

 more than twice as long as broad. The neuration of the wing is obscure 

 about and below the region of the areola, which appears to be lacking, the 

 direction of the cubital vein from its extremity backward being toward the 

 angle of the radius beyond the stigma ; before this junction the cubitus is 

 more curved than represented on the plate ; the obscurity prevailing in that 

 region does not permit one to see the cross-vein below the position of the 

 areola with clearness, but there is a faint indication of a straight vein depend- 

 ing from that point ; the separation of the second discoidal and humeral 

 cells is by a straight, scarcely oblique cross-vein in direct continuation of 

 the vein above and not shown on the plate. The neuration of the hind 

 wing is exactly as in all species of Eclytus. The abdomen is evidently 

 compressed laterally, pediceled by the apically enlarging long first segment, 

 the remainder oblong ovate on a side view, most expanded beyond the mid- 

 dle, a little more than twice as long as high ; ovipositor scarcely so long as 

 the extreme height of the abdomen. 



Length of body, 3.5™™ ; of wing, 2.65™™ ; of ovipositor, 0.65™™. 



The species apparently differs from those figured by Snellen van Vol- 

 lenhoven in his Pinacographia in that the cubital vein meets the radius by 

 a union of similar but reversed angles.
