Paralimna nigropicta new species 



This species, represented by a small series of females, is dis- 

 tinguished from all others by the velvety black spot between the 

 bases of the antennae. In some of the other species there may 

 be a brown stripe or spot here but it is never velvety black. There 

 seem to be no variation in this respect.
