NEW SPECIES OF ANAPHORINyE. 



BY HARRISON G. DYAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The following apparently new species of Anaphorinpe have been 

 received since the paper published in Can. Ent., XXXII., 307, was pre- 

 pared : 



Genus Atopocera, Walsingham. 



Wals., Proc. Zool. Soc, London, 1897, p. 169. 



Lord Walsingham would probably not have proposed this name if he 

 had been aware of the previous use of the masculine form of the same 

 term (Atopocerus, Kraatz, Deut. ent. Zeit., XXXII., 360, 1888. However, 

 the different endings will probably sufficiently distinguish the two genera. 



Atopocera Barnesii, n. sp. 



Palpi recurved to near end of thorax, with head and thorax dark 

 blackish brown ; legs and abdomen dark gray. Antennae simple, some- 

 what compressed. Fore wings with costa convex, inner margin slightly 

 excavate before anal angle ; dark brownish gray, violaceous, tinted, 

 mottled, subreticulate with darker brown, and showing faintly a dark 

 rounded discal dot and irregular quadrate patch on the centre of inner 

 margin, extending toward base along median vein. Hind wing uniform 

 dark brown, the base of fringe narrowly lighter. Expanse 20 mm. Male 

 genitalia with uncus double, two well-separated sharp spines, roundedly 

 and but slightly curved toward tip, the opposing lower piece short ; 

 harpes slender, obliquely ascending, curved, uniform, the tip rounded.

 5347- 



Genus Anaphora, Clemens. 



In Can. Ent., XXXII. , 309, I placed Acrolophus violaceelhis, Beut., 

 as a distinct species, but on further comparison I cannot distinguish it 

 from Ajiaphora tenuis, Wals. 



Lord Walsingham separates tenuis by the presence of short supple- 

 mentary processes in the ^ genitalia, but this character is so obscure 

 that I prefer to give the synoptic table in the following form : 



Uncus abruptly angulated.
