OF WASHINGTON. 283 



segments on dorsum ; tipspjnous, densely hirsute Legs beset with black 

 and white spines and hairs, the anterior femora with remarkably long, 

 coarse white hairs; coxae and femora piceous, the anterior coxae partly 

 luteous ; tibiae with three piceous bands, one at base, one before the mid 

 dle (sometimes interrupted on inner side) and one at the apex; on the 

 anterior and middle tibiae these bands are broad so that the prevailing 

 color is dark; tarsal joints i and 5 apically, and all of 2, 3 and 4, piceous. 

 Tibial spurs as long as first four tarsal joints on front legs, as long as 

 first three on hind and middle legs; claws a little : shorter than joint 5. 



Wings a little shorter than the abdomen, narrow, hyaline ; the anteriors 

 with small fuscous spots principally along the cubitus and its forks, the 

 anal vein, and the forks near hind margin and apex of wing; a fine fuscous 

 streak extending obliquely forward from tip of median vein; a larger 

 fuscous spot at the apical radial 'cross vein and a smaller one at junc 

 tion of subcosta and radius these last two spots the only ones present on 

 hind margin ; veins luteous, interrupted with fuscous principally at their 

 junctures; pterostigma whitish, fuscous within, one to three intercostals 

 forked before it in fore wings, none in hind wings. 



Length 23, alar expanse 38, greatest width of anterior wjng 4.3, antenna 

 3 mm. 



Hot Springs, June 26 and 27 (Barber and Schwarz : 3 99). 



Type. No. 6888, U. S. National Museum. 



This species is about the size and shape of B. pusillus but is 

 darker, the markings are different, the abdomen longer, the wings 

 longer, more slender and more heavily marked, the tibial spurs 

 much longer, and the labial palpi very much longer and stouter 

 and of different shape. 

 Brachynemurus intermedius, n. sp. 



- $. Very similar to B. texanus Banks in size, shape, and general ap 

 pearance. It differs from that species as follows : anterior portion of the 

 vertex fuscous, confluent with the inter-antennal mark; a single transverse 

 band, interrupted in the middle, on the elevated portion, appearing as two 

 large, approximate spots which are broadest within. Pronotal stripes 

 heavier and longer, sometimes almost coalescentat transverse furrow and 

 anterior margin, making the pronotal pattern much as in B.ferox, the 

 outer as well as the inner pair surpassing the transverse furrow and barely 

 interrupted. It lacks the pair of spots near hind margin of the posterior 

 lobe of mesono'.um and the dot on each lateral lobe of metanotum. Ap 

 pendages of $ longer, fully half as long as last abdominal segment. 

 Wings less heavily though similarly marked, narrower, with very few 

 transversals forked before pterostigma (in texanus quite a number are 

 forked). 



9- Similar to the <^\ but stouter and darker, the wings averaging 

 broader, the markings somewhat heavier, the antennas more clavate. Tip 

 of abdomen spinous, partly pale.
