142 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



after the notice in my Synopsis, p. 7, where a larva from Cuba was men- 

 tioned as perhaps belonging to Olyntha ? I think the specimen, when 

 caught, was young ; it can not be decided if the colors are fully devel- 

 oped ; it is carded and in a delicate condition. It is of the size of E. 

 SaJvini McLachl., dut directly to be recognized as a different species by 

 the bifid sector of the wings. 



Oligotoma Cubana, 



Female ? about 7 mill, long; dry. Head light brown, sparingly clothed 

 with pale hairs ; shape of the male ; antennae brown, densely clothed with 

 pale hairs, 18 jointed ; ist stout, longer, 2nd very short, 3rd longer, all the 

 following shorter, equal ; the last one pointed ; palpi as in the male ; pro- 

 thorax similar to the male, light brown ; thorax and abdomen blackish 

 brown (by exsiccation); meso and metathorax nearly equal, oblong, with- 

 out any trace of wings ; legs dark brown, articulation and tarsi pale ; last 

 ventral segment of abdomen not divided, lightly rounded on tip ; of the 

 appendages only the left one is present, but the tip of the apical joint is 

 broken ; the basal joint is not dilated ; above, between the appendages, is 

 a small, thin, elongated lobe. 



Hab. Cuba ; only one specimen carded and in bad condition. No. 

 136 of Gundlach's catalogue was received in 1866. If Mr. Wood-Mason's 

 statements are to be accepted, it can be the female to the male described 

 before. Should it be a female larva, which I scarcely believe it to be, it 

 must belong to another and much larger species. The small larva quoted 

 in my synopsis, p. 7, 4 mill, long, from the Museum in Berlin, was also 

 received by Gundlach from Cuba. Probably it belongs to the same 

 species, and is a larva. 



2. Oligotoma Hiibbardi, n. spec. 



Length of the body 4 mill. ; length to tip of wings 6 mill.; exp. of 

 wings 8 mill. Male dry : Head very light brown, shining; on the sides very 

 sparingly clothed with pale hairs; convex above, slightly narrower behind 

 the eyes, which are black and comparatively larger than in O. Cubana., 

 and less distant one from the other above ; the part of the head behind 

 the eyes a little broader than long, rounded behind, cut straight before 

 the prothorax ; antennae (5 basal joints present) pale brown, densely 

 clothed with pale long hairs; ist joint short, cylindrical, scarcely longer 

 than broad ; 2nd very small, thinner, annular ; 3rd as long as the two
