some pallidus due to post-mortem changes or loss of thoracic con- 

 tents), widest and most definite in submedianus and subapicalis. The 

 humeral stripe, like the antehumeral, in pallidus is narrow, obscure, and 

 scarcely evident ; in submedianus it is reduced to a line, in striking 

 contrast to the well developed antehumeral ; in subapicalis it is nearly 

 as wide as the antehumeral. 

 Venation between Ai and Az, 



I,. Two cells of about equal size in first series 1 , Ai angled 3 : sub- 

 medianus, 2 male wings, 20% ; subapicalis, 3 male wings, 75%. 



II. Two cells in first series, the proximal one of these two long 

 and narrow, Ai not angled : pallidus, 9 male wings, 90%, 4 female wings, 

 40% ; submedianus, i female wing, 16.7%. 



III. One cell in first series, Ai angled : pallidus, i male wing, 10% ; 

 submedianus, 8 male wings, 80%. 3 female wings, 50% ; subapicalis, i 

 male wing, 25%, I female wing, 50%. 



IV. One cell in first series. Ai not angled : pallidus. 6 female 

 wings, 60%; submedianus, 2 female wings, 33.3%; subapicalis, i 

 female wing, 50%. 



Legs. Light brown in pallidus, femora darker apically and dorsally, 

 tibiae gray dorsally, tarsus black, second joint of last tarsus gray, and 

 first joint of same tarsus gray in the middle; last femora with some 

 hair in the female, and in the male almost covered with brown pile. 

 In the other two species the femora are not nearly so hairy, and 

 there is a distinct color pattern of dark on a ground color paler than 

 the light brown of pallidus. In submedianus the legs are green or 

 yellowish green, the femora apically and dorsally black ; the tibiae 

 black ventrally and, in sharp contrast, yellow dorsally, tarsus patterned 

 as in pallidus, but the middle joint of the middle legs shows more or 

 less pale also; from the apical black of the last femur three fine lines 

 run basally on the dorsal surface of the femur, two of these are 

 anterior (external) and the other is posterior (internal), the apical 

 black occupies I to 2 mm., and the black lines, except sometimes the 

 most anterior one and the posterior one in the male, do not reach 

 the base of the femur. Subapicalis is similar to submedianus, but on 

 the last femora the apical black is more extensive and the lines are 

 less developed, the posterior scarcely evident, and the two anterior 

 lines shorter than in submedianus. 



Abdomenj The abdominal markings are generality obscure, ill- 

 defined and difficult of description. Probably this is true of the 

 majority of these insects in life, and more generally true of dried 

 material. In the absence of any notes on living colors and with 



1 In all wings examined there are 2 cells in the second series. 



2 Ai varies from distinctly angled to straight in the entire series of 

 wings examined, so the description as angled or straight is, in some 

 cases, arbitrary.
