144 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Male. — Length about 4 mm.; wing 4-4.5 mm. 



Generally similar to P. conjuncta Alexander, differing as follows: 



Size larger. Antennal flagellum with the individual segments distinctly 

 annulated, black with the base narrowly, the apex more broadly, light yellow; 

 each flagellar segment is binodose, the nodes with very long, outspreading 

 verticils. The thoracic pleura has a very broad, brownish black stripe that 

 extends to the abdomen; thoracic sternum also brownish black, the space be- 

 tween this and the pleura only slightly paler. Wings with a strong brown tinge; 

 vein Sc shorter; R^+z shorter than that section of Ri beyond r. Abdomen black. 



Habitat. — Brazil. 



Holotype.— d', Manaos, November 4, 1919, (H. S. Parish). 



Paratopoiype. — A badly-broken d^, October 31, 1919. 



Eriocera amazonicola, sp. n. 



General coloration orange-yellow; antennal flagellum brownish black, the 

 scutal lobes and posterior half of the mesonotal prsescutum brownish; wings 

 yellow, narrowly cross-banded and longitudinally streaked with brown, this 

 including a narrow apical margin. 



Male. — Wing 9.3 mm. 



Female.- — Length 12 mm.; wing 10.8 mm. 



Frontal prolongation of the head reddish brown; palpi obscure brownish 

 yellow. Antenna? with the scape fiery orange; flagellum dark brownish black, 

 only the extreme base of the first flagellar segment brighter. Head fiery orange, 

 the frontal tubercle moderately large and with a slight, impressed, median line. 



Mesonotum obscure yellow, the prsescutum behind and the scutal lobes 

 more brownish; scutellum and postnotum more orange-yellow. Pleura yellow. 

 Halteres yellow, the knobs dark brown. Legs with the coxae and trochanters 

 yellow; femora obscure yellow, the tips narrowly dark brown; tibiae obscure 

 brownish testaceous, the tips very narrowly darker brown; tarsi dark brown. 

 Wings with a strong yellowish tinge, most conspicuous in the costal region and 

 at the wing-base; anal cells more grayish; conspicuous brown seams at the origin 

 of Rs, extending to beyond midlength of the vein; along the cord, extending as 

 a narrow cross-band from the stigma to the posterior margin of the wing; a 

 narrow seam around the wing-tip; veins -R4+5, Mz, Cu\, the outer end of cell 1st 

 M2, Cu and 2nd A narrowly margined with brown; veins light yellow, darkened 

 in the brown areas. Venation: Rs long; r just beyond the fork of R»+z; inner 

 ends of cells R^ and 1st M-i in oblique alignment; cell 1st Mo rather small, sub- 

 rectangular, shorter than the veins beyond it; basal deflection of Cui just beyond 

 the fork of M. 



Abdomen with the tergites fiery orange, segments five and six darker 

 basally ; sternites orange-yellow. Ovipositor with the vahes elongate, chitinized. 



Habitat. — Brazil. 



HoIotype.— 9 , Manaos, November 4, 1919, (H. S. Parish). 



Allotype.— d", Flores, November 12, 1919. 



The male specimen is in poor condition, having been badly eaten by ants. 

 The hypopygium is of the Eriocera-type but the penis-guard is very long and 

 exserted, somewhat as in E. longistyla Alexander.
