pratensis the antennal club is short and stout, only twice longer 

 than broad, thrice longer than broad in the other species and in 

 pratensis also, the second funicle joint is distinctly a third long- 

 er and much narrower than funicle joint 6, only a fourth long- 

 er and but slightly narrower in punctual. (The specimen of 

 pratensis was captured in Illinois and compared with specimens 

 in the United States National Museum labelled, "Anaphes pra- 

 tensis Forst., France." I have written of them elsewhere). 



TRIBE MYMARINI. 

 Genus Polynema Haliday. 

 1. Polynema euchariforme Haliday. 



A female of this species, loaned to me by Dr. L. O. Howard 

 and also identified by the English gentleman mentioned above 

 and received in the U. S. through the kindness of Mr. Fred. 

 Knock, should also receive some attention in this connection. 

 As represented here, the species is different from any American 

 form so far known to me, but is much like both consobrinus 

 Girault and striaticorne Girault in the shape and ciliation of the 

 fore wing. However, it differs from the former in that the 

 fore wings are noticeably less clavate and consequently some- 

 what narrower ; the antennae differ but not very much, in 

 euchariforme the funicle joints all slightly shorter; other dif- 

 ferences are the shorter posterior femora and abdominal petiole 

 and the uniformly pallid yellowish legs in the British species. 

 The difference from striaticorne is more pronounced the 

 much less robust body, shorter leg and antennal segments 

 specifically, in euchariforme the third funicle joint is only about 

 half the length of the second, in striaticorne three- fourths the 

 length of the second and nearly twice longer of itself than that 

 of the British species narrower wings and differently colored 

 legs. The fore wings in euchariforme bear about ten longitudi- 

 nal lines of discal cilia at their widest blade portion and their 

 longest marginal cilia are nearly as long as the greatest width 

 of those wings. The club and funicle of antennae and the dis- 

 tal tarsal joints are concolorous with the brownish black of the 

 body. 



At this same time it is desirable to compare this British spe- 

 cies with several other European forms which I happen to
