[Dec., '16 



Abdomen soft, presenting two segments dorsally, the first segment 



very short. Ventrally there appear to be at least three segments but 



they are very indistinctly marked. The entire abdomen is beset with 

 large spines with spiral markings. 



Nyeterophila coxata n. sp. male, wings not shown. 



$ . Similar to female except for abdomen. The first two tergites 

 are weakly chitinized and bear a row of short spines along the pos- 

 terior margin. The remainder of the dorsum is membranous and the 

 median portion is entirely free from spines. Laterally, however, it is 

 beset with long stiff spines. There are apparently seven sternites, the 

 first six distinctly chitinized and with a row of spines along the pos- 

 terior margin. The seventh sternite occupies about a third of the 

 length of the abdomen. The male claspers are three in number and 

 are appressed to the ventral side of the abdomen.
