164 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



2nd anal vein; the wing pattern is not so heavy as in L. aprilina. Male hypo- 

 pygium with the pleurites moderately elongated, covered with numerous setae 

 that become very numerous along the basal inner two-thirds; outer apical 

 angle of the pleurite a little produced and blackened, provided with a loose tuft 

 of long, yellow hairs that exceed the pleural appendages in length. Outer 

 pleural appendage slender, with a prominent tooth before the apex on the outer 

 margin, distad of this with numerous appressed teeth and a small, stout apical 

 spine. Inner pleural appendage fleshy, stout, blunt at the tip. 



Habitat. -^CoXorsido.

Limnophila (Ephelia) apiculata, new species. 



Closest to L. angustior; pleurites of the male hypopygium without an apical 

 tuft of hairs; outer pleural appendage straight, without a prominent lateral tooth 

 on the outer margin. 



Male. — Length, about 6.8 mm.; wing 7.2 mm. 



Very similar to L. angustior, differing as follows: 



Antennal flagellum with the basal segments light brownish yellow, passing 

 into darker brown on the terminal segments. Mesonotum light grey with four 

 dark brown stripes , the intermediate pair very long and separated by a capillary 

 vitta of the ground colour. Dark tips to the femora and tibiae less distinct. 

 Wings slightly more yellowish, the brown pattern heavier but confined to the 

 vicinity of the veins. Abdomen dull brownish yellow, with an indistinct, dark 

 brown dorso-median stripe. Hypopygium more reddish. Pleurites moderately 

 stout, without a conspicuous apical tuft of long yellowish hairs. Outer pleural 

 appendage black, stout, the apical third along the outer margin with numerous, 

 acute, appressed teeth, the terminal one extended into a free spine. Inner 

 pleural appendage fleshy, pale, covered with numerous stout sette, the apex 

 narrowed and tipped with three or four setae.

Limnophila (Ephelia) edentata, new species. 



Closest to L. superlineata Doane; size small, wing of the male about 6.5 

 mm. ; first segment of the antennal flagellum yellowish ; wings with a heavy brown 

 pattern, the outer four costal blotches confliient in pairs; outer pleural appendage 

 of the male hypopygium without appressed lateral teeth on the outer margin 

 near the apex. 



Male. — Length 5.6 mm.; wing 6.5 mm. 



Similar to L. superlineata Doane but differing in numerous regards: Size 

 very small. First flagellar segment of the antennae yellow, the remaining 

 flagellar segments light brown. The median praescutal stripe is widely divided 

 for its entire length; in addition to the narrow lateral stripes and a dark spot
