Anabolia curta, sp. nov. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 10,874. Massachusetts (Hagen coll.). 



Black; legs and antennae yellowish; head with black hair below, yellowish 

 above; basal joint of antennae with golden hair; legs with black spines; be- 

 tween ocelli and eyes, and on middle of the mesothorax the surface is sericeous. 

 Fore wings blackish, rather densely spotted with small patches of pale hairs, 

 especially noticeable at the outer margin, and just before the posterior anasto- 

 mosis; hind wings scarcely darkened. In general closely similar to A. inutatus 

 Hagen, but the marking near upper anastomosis is scarcely distinct. The 

 male has the upper appendages as in A. ))iutatus, but the lower pair are much 

 shorter and not strongly mucronate (as in A. mutafus). It is a slightly smaller 

 species. 



Expanse 26 mm.
