Eriocampa scudderi, sp. nov. 



Length about 9 mm. Body seemingly wholly black, with infuscated wings. 

 Nervures piceous. Hind legs, or at least the femora and tibiae, black. Marginal 

 cell long and pointed, the cross-vein strongly oblique, inserted much nearer to the 

 tip than to the base of the second submarginal cell. First submarginal cell small, 

 narrowed at the tip, the first transverse cubitus being only two-thirds the length 

 of the first section of the cubitus. Second submarginal cell long and narrow,

over three times as long as high at the tip. Basal vein and cubitus arising at the 

 same point, the basal vein longer than the oblique apical side of the first discoidal 

 cell. Anal cell with a moderately oblique cross-vein ; rather weakly constricted 

 behind basally, but the nervure is strongly thickened at the constriction. 



Type. — No. 2040, Mus. Comp. Zool., Florissant, Col. (No. 8298, S. H. Scudder 

 Coll.), very nicely preserved except for the hind wings and the antennae. 



Eriocampa, sp. 



There is a specimen (No. 2041, Mus. Comp. Zool. ; No. 9101, S. H. Scudder 

 Coll.), which is not well enough preserved to place positively in this genus, but 

 which probably represents a third species. The wings are brown and the body 

 pale, except the posterior margin of the thorax and the last two or three abdominal 

 segments, which are dark or black. It is quite a strikingly colored species. 



Emphytus Klug. 



This genus is said to be represented in Baltic Amber by Menge ('56). 



Paremphytus, gen. nov. 



Similar to Emphytus, but the basal nervure and the first recurrent nervure are 

 widely divergent, not parallel as in that genus. The submedian cell is much 

 longer than the median, and the first transverse cubitus absent. Anal cell 

 divided by an oblique nervure ; not constricted behind toward the base. Margi- 

 nal cell very long and unusually narrow beyond the cross-vein ; rounded at the 

 tip but not appendiculate. First and second submarginal cells each receiving
