THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 143 



basals, thicker on tip ; 4th and 5th similar to 3rd, but a little shorter ; 

 prothorax very small, much broader near the wings, divided by an anterior 

 transversal sulcus ; legs as in O. Cubana ; wings very delicate (probably 

 the specimen has been in alcohol, as the wings are crumpled) pale ; vena- 

 tion as in 0. Cubana, sector bifid ; transversals not well visible ; only 

 indications of the white bands ; abdomen pale brown ; appendages broken. 

 From what is to be seen of the tip of abdomen, the specimen is a male. 



Hab. Entreprise, Florida, May 24, by H. G. Hubbard, to whom the 

 Museum is greatly indebted for interesting specimens and other beautiful 

 biological discoveries. 



This is, as far as I know, the only specimen of an Embid collected in 

 the U. S. It is in bad condition, and the description will have to be 

 completed from other specimens. Though the species is obviously related 

 to O Cubana, I believe the differences noted in the shape of the head 

 and the antennje, and the remarkably smaller size, justify the consideration 

 of O. Hubbardi as a different species, till the contrary is proved. Differ- 

 ence in size has been noted, but never to such an extent. I possess only 

 of one species eight specimens, which show differences in size, but only 

 small ones. 



3. Oligotoma insular is. 



O. insularis McLachl, x\nn. Mag. N. H., 1883, vol. xii., p. 227. 



Length of body 8 mill.; exp. of wings, 12 mill. 



Male, in alcohol: Body pitchy-fuscous, clothed with fine whitish 

 pubescence ; head a little longer than broad ; sides oblique ; occiput half 

 as broad as the front part; eyes black, a little more "distant one from the 

 other than its diameter ; in the middle, a little before the eyes, a small 

 transversal impression, perhaps homologous to the obliterated ocellus in 

 Blatta and Termes. Antennae (only 10 joints present) fuscous, the arti- 

 culations pale, whitish; ist joint stouter than the others, a little longer 

 than broad ; 2nd very short, annular ; 3rd twice as long as 2nd, a little 

 larger on tip ; 4th and 5th shorter than .3rd ; 6th as long as 3rd, the fol- 

 lowing ones longer, more enlarged on tip ; mouth-parts a little paler ; 

 maxillary palpi fuscous, articulations pale, apical joint ovoid, longer than 

 the other ones, which are of equal length ; labial palpi similar, apical 

 joint ovoid, longer than the two basals. Prothorax oblong, as broad as 

 the occiput, a little longer than broad, on each side notched after the 

 transversal sulcus. Legs pitchy-fuscous, the articulations and tarsi pale>
