120 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



half the length of mesothorax; fork 3 present in hind wings; spurs 

 1-3-4; first apical cell reaching back on discal cell more than the width 

 of latter; wings very broad. 



Type: Stenophylax punctatissimus Walker. 

 Differs from Stenophylax in great length of the first apical 

 cell. 



Stenophylax minusculus, n. sp. (PL IX, fig. 12). 



Head black, yellowish hairs on the vertex, gray on the face; palpi 

 blackish; antennae brown, basal joint black; thorax and abdomen black, 

 tip of latter brown, yellowish hair on prothorax and mesothorax; legs 

 pale yellowish, femora black, except at extreme tips, last joint of tarsi 

 brown, spines black. Fore wings hyaline, largely marked with brown; 

 venation brown; apical cells mostly hyaline, subapicals mostly brown, 

 anal area brown, costal area pale, middle area of wing brown, extend 

 ing out above to the brown pterostigma, a pale spot in apex of discal 

 cell, a longer spot in apex of thyridial and median cells; the arculus, 

 and a dot on thyridium before fork white-hyaline; hind wings hyaline, 

 venation pale. Fore wings rather narrow, discal cell slightly longer 

 than its pedicel, radius bent near pterostigma, cubitus disjointed at 

 posterior anastomosis. In the hind wings the discal cell is plainly 

 shorter than its pedicel ; the third apical cell is widened at base, and 

 has a dark dot; the fourth is narrowed at base, and the fifth reaches 

 quite a little before it. 



Expanse, 18 mm. 



One specimen from Olympia, Washington (Kincaid). 



Parachiona signata, n. sp. 



Head and antennae yellowish brown, palpi paler; vertex with yel 

 lowish bristles from the warts; large yellow bristles from pronotum; 

 thorax and abdomen yellow-brown, darker on tip of latter; legs pale 

 yellowish, spines black. Fore wings yellowish brown, darker along 

 median vein and in anal area, paler in costal area, venation pale 

 brownish, outer anastomosis dark brown, and margined with brown, a 

 large hyaline spot on the thyridium, and a pale dot in base of third 

 apical cell ; hind wings hyaline, venation pale. Head rather short and 

 transverse, no macrochseta behind ocelli; basal joint of antennae large 

 and long. In the fore wings the discal cell is about equal to its pedicel, 

 the fifth apical cell not reaching before fourth; the cubitus not dis 

 jointed at the posterior anastomosis, radius bent near pterostigma. In 

 hind wings the discal cell is shorter than its pedicel, the fourth apical 

 cell has an oblique base, the fifth not reaching before it. 



Expanse, 27 mm.
