the first funicle joint by at least a fourth. In spiritus the cephalic 

 femora are slightly longer and broader than in the other spe- 

 cies, as long as the cephalic tibiae. There are no colorational 

 differences between the two species, excepting- that in in earn a- 

 tns ("female only) the pedicel and first funicle joint of the an- 

 tenna are pallid (white, clear), not so in spiritus. The spe- 

 cies is described more in detail herewith. 



Anagrus spiritus species nova. 



Female : Length, 0.65 mm. ; moderately small for the family, usual 

 in size for the genus. 



General color yellowish brown (brown pink") suffused with some 

 dusky, the abdomen with 4 or 5 transverse dusky bands across it which 

 are not conspicuous ; all appendages pallid brownish as is also the 

 venation : the trochanters and knees pallid, the wings hyaline except- 

 ing the fore wings proximad which are suffused with dusky out as far 

 a distance distad of the apex of the marginal vein as the latter is 

 long, the fumation more noticeable caudad of the marginal vein. Eyes 

 and ocelli ruby red. 



Carina on the vertex present, usual ; eyes reniform ; abdomen slight- 

 ly longer than the thorax, pointed but not noticeably or pronouncedly 

 so. 



Fore wings moderately slender, clavate, curved at about the distal 

 third, with very long marginal cilia, the longest about twice longer 

 than the greatest wing width (some distance back from the apex), 

 shortening abruptly along both margins proximad of the distal third, 

 there half shorter and from thence proximad more gradually shortening. 

 Discal ciliation of the fore wing arranged across the widest part in 

 about 6 longitudinal rows and between the fifth and sixth row in that 

 part of the blade is a narrow, long elliptical bare space. Marginal vein 

 about four and a half times longer than wide, terminating in a blunt 

 point away from the cephalic margin and bearing three long setae. 

 Dilatation of the fore wing caudad near base conspicuous,, opposite the 

 marginal vein. Posterior wings without discal ciliation excepting the 

 paired row along each edge arising from between the bases of the 

 marginal cilia. 



Tibial spurs short, straight, single; none of the four tarsal joints 

 are long; cephalic tibial spurs usual, that is longer, curved, forked at 

 tip forming the usual strigil. Valves of ovipositor distinctly project- 

 ing a short distance beyond the end of the abdomen. 



Antennae Q-jointed; scape one and a half times longer than the ped-
