THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 419 



apical filum; terminal segment slightly reduced, with a length about 

 twice its diameter and tapering suddenly to an obtuse apex; the 

 surface of this segment is nearly coshered with \'ery irregular, 

 anastomosing circumfili. Palpi yellowish, basal segment n^undly 

 quadrate, the second segment reduced, conical. Mesonotum red- 

 dish brown. Scutellum brownish, yellowish apically, postscutel- 

 lum brownish yellow. Abdomen sparsely haired, dark brown. 

 Halteres and coxa yellowish. Legs mostly yellowish straw. Ovi- 

 positor when extended about as long as the abdomen, the terminal 

 portion moderately stout and with ndistinct, inarrowly rounded 

 apical lobes. 



This species departs from the typical Hormomyia in the 

 greatly produced ovipositor of the female and it is possible that it, 

 with related forms, should be referred to a distinct genus. 



Type, C. a2453. 



SOME NEW NORTH AMERICAN ANAPHORIN/E. 



HV WM. BARNES, M.D., AND J. MCDUNNOUGH, PH.D., DECATUR, ILL. 



In sorting over a large accumulation of material belonging to 

 the Tineid group called by Walsingham AnapJiorincc , we discovered 

 several species which did not agree with the descriptions of any 

 known North American species; these we venture to describe as new. 

 We have followed W'alsingham in the generic references, although 

 Busck states that these genera are not tenable; we feel, however, 

 that Walsingham's genera serve at least to define the position of the 

 species in the group rather more clearly than if we had employed 

 a more general term. 



Neolophiis antonellus, sp. nov. (Fig. 3.) 



cf. ^Antenna? strongly serrate and fasciculate; palpi rough- 

 haired, upturned to well above front and rather closely appressed, 

 ochreous, deep brown at base; collar brown at base, ochreous 

 apically; thorax brown centrally, this portion rather sharply defined 

 by pale ochreous patagia with light brown center. Primaries light  

 brown with broad, very prominent pale yellowish stripe from base 

 of wing through the fold to approximately the end of cell; upper 

 margin of this stfipe is rather even, bordered by a black line which 

 curves slightly upwards and ends in a black discocellular dot;
