THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 37 



claws brown, as long as the spurs. Wings narrow, with fringes on hind 

 margin, which is very little emarginate before tip ; hyaline ; venation pale 

 interrupted with brown ; base of numerous forks and around many trans- 

 versals brown ; front wings with many large rusty-brown round spots along 

 the mediana and submediana ; apical half of costal space with two series 

 of areoles ; hind wings similarly spotted, but without the large rusty-brown 

 spots. 



Length of body, male, 38 to 45 m.m.; female, 28 to 31 m.m.; exp. al., 

 40 to 50 m.m. 



Habit, Millin, Scriven Co., Georgia ; July, Morrison. I have before 

 me two males and three females ; it is a very pretty species and doubtless 

 Rambur's M. nebulosus. 



I had accepted this species to be M. contaminatus Burm., which is, 

 with a short diagnose, only mentioned by his M. irroratus. Mr. Tas- 

 chenberg describes a female, which is not labeled, out of Burmeister's 

 collection. This female belongs doubtless to M. conspersa Rbr.; he calls 

 the spurs of the anterior legs shorter than the first joint of tarsi, but these 

 are probably spines. If this is really the type of Burmeister, and I have 

 no doubt of it, the name has to be dropped, as it belongs to M. conspersa.

Black, very slender, faintly villous ; head narrow ; front shining, yel- 

 low, above a broad black band, notched in middle below, narrowly yellow 

 around the eyes and around the base of antennas ; a black longitudinal

 margins ; vertex elevated, rounded, black, with a transversal yellow band, 

 interrupted in middle, and a posterior one, representing a larger yellow 

 spot on each side, and a smaller middle one, a little before them ; antennae 

 of male much longer than head and thorax, about 10 m.m.] of female 

 shorter, about as long as head and thorax, 7 m.m. ; long, filiform, a little 

 thicker to the tip, bluntly pointed ; those of female a little more enlarged 

 on tip; blackish-brown, the two basal joints shining black ; palpi yellow,.
