OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XIII, 1911. 187 



two-jointed club but in reality composed of funicle joint 5 and a solid 

 club. Joint 5 of the funicle about twice the length of joint 4 and 

 nearly one and a half times broader, cylindrical ovate, two-thirds the 

 length of the club and as broad. Club solid, long ovate, bearing sev- 

 eral longitudinal grooves or sulci, nearly as long as the two preceding 

 joints combined (funicle joints 4 and 5). Pubescence of antennae very 

 sparse, nearly absent. Body bearing a few scattered bristles but the 

 legs in places more closely pubescent. 

 Male. Unknown. 



Described from a single female specimen captured in a 

 greenhouse at Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 1911, in the after- 

 noon (A. A. Girault). 



Habitat: United States Urbana, Illinois. 



Type: Cat. No. 14232, United States National Museum, 

 Washington. D. C., one female in balsam (mounted on a slide 

 with West-woodella sanguinea and a Gonatocerus, captured at 

 the same time. 



This species is unique for Anthemns Howard, as I find by 

 comparing it with some descriptive notes taken from the type 

 species of that genus. The unusually long distal joint of the 

 funicle should make it easily known if care is taken not to 

 confuse this joint with the club and thus consider the latter 

 two-jointed. I do not believe that this is so, but only appears 

 so at a first glance. In the type species of the genus the 

 pedicel is distinctly much longer than any of the funicle joints, 

 while the distal funicle joint is scarcely longer than the prox- 

 imal one. The species rex differs so much in venation from 

 the type species of Anthemns that I herewith propose che fol- 

 lowing new generic name for it (see above): 



ANTHEMIELLA new genus. 

 (Type: A. rex, described in foregoing.) 



A genus in most essential structures agreeing with Anthe- 

 mns Howard, but differing in bearing a long marginal vein 

 (only about twice longer than wide in Anthemns, here about 

 seven times longer than wide); in having most of the funicle 

 joints of the antenna as long as or longer than the pedicel and 

 in bearing practically naked fore wings. 



The separation of this segregate from Anthemns is not 

 analogous to the separation by Knock of Enas/iis and Er\th- 

 melus of that author from Auagrus Haliday, since the two 

 latter agree with Anagrns in all essential structures and differ 

 only in habitus. Anthemus and Antheiniclla are separated 

 mostly on differences in venation.
