 variegated with gray, two pale gray spots near the front border, and some 

 laterally ; mesothorax and metathorax fuscous, with yellowish marks ; 

 abdomen very slender, a little less long than twice the length of hind wing, 

 hairy, fuscous, basal half above with a yellowish band, a little enlarged on 

 the articulation, and divided by a median fine black line ; segments 2 to 

 5 of equal length, 7 a little shorter ; appendages blackish, fuscous, with 

 long black spines and hairs ; compressed, about one fourth the length of 

 the last segment, straight, after the basal half narrowed ; a short triangu- 

 lar yellow plate below ; legs pale, densely sprinkled with black, with long 

 bristles ; tip of tibiae, third joint of tarsi on tip, fourth joint entirely, and

Length of body, £ 38 to 45, $ 27 m.m.; expanse al., 44-48 m.m. 

 Hab. Georgia, Burmeister's type with label in his handwriting, from 

 Savannha, collect. Winthem ; two males from Millin, Scriven Co., Ga., 

 July, 1876, coll. by Morrison ; two males from Florida, Cedar Keys, June 

 4, and Crescent City, by Hubbard ; one male Amer. merid., out of the 

 late Dr. Schneider's coll. (perhaps this locality is erroneous). 



Burmeister, 1. c, quotes a female: " Abdomine alis sequali ; fusco 

 hirsutiusculo ; length 25 m.m." When Winthem's collection came in my 

 hands, this female was wanting. Formerly I had this specie? determined 

 in my publications as M. abdominalis Say ; I believe now this species to 

 be different.
