The measurements of this wing as compared with the right front wing 

 are as follows: in all cases the first figure is that of the (normal) right 

 wing. Length 39.5 mm., 24 mm.; greatest breadth 8.5 mm., 8 mm. 

 Length of pterostigma 5 mm., 5 mm. Distance from base to nodus 20 

 mm., 14 mm. Distance from nodus to inner side of pterostigma 12 mm., 

 3 mm. Antecubitals 17, 9. Postcubitals 12, 2 (the second very short, 

 running from the short curved vein = nodal sector?, see ante, to the costa). 

 Discoidal triangle long and narrow, with 3 cross- veins; shorter and broader, 

 with i cross-vein. Internal triangle 6 cells, 2 cells. Hypertrigonals 2, o. 

 Basal streak extends to level of 8th antecubital, about n mm.; to level 

 of half way between 4th and 5th antecubitals, about 8 mm. 



The relative positions of the unmentioned veins are as nearly normal 

 as the shortness of the wing will allow. Both hind wings and the rest of 

 the body are normal. 



This female (an adult) was taken in the upper part of the city of Phila- 

 delphia, in 1890, by Mr. Charles Yung, who presented it to Mr. Charles 

 \V. Johnson of the Wagner Institute. To the kindness of Mr. Johnson I 

 am indebted for the opportunity of examining and describing it.
