Tijpe maierlal. — Holotype: Spring Creek, Decatur County, 

 Georgia, July 16 to 29, 1912, (Cornell Univ. Exped.), [Cornell 

 I^niv. No. 108.1.]; one paratopotype: same date. 



Photopsis (Odontophotopsis) spinci n. sp. 



cf . Entirety rufo-fcrruginous, except the legs, antennae, mandibles, and 

 mouth parts, which are brown; clothed with considerable erect white pubes- 

 cence; wings slightly infuscated. 



Head not as wide as the thorax, rather extended behind the eyes and ocelli; 

 the latter large, the posterior pair behind the supraorbital line, removed from 

 the compound eyes by more than three times and from each other by less than 

 two times their diameters, and from the front pair by a little less than their 

 diameter's length; head covered with sparse, erect, rather long, white pubes- 

 cence, with a few black hairs behind the compound eyes; with sparse, rather 

 large and deep, setigerous punctures, smaller and sparser behind the eyes, the 

 intervals polished; occiput convex; posterior and postero-lateral angles of the 

 head not defined, unarmed; antennae separated by less than the diameter of 

 the ocelli, with a sharp carina between and below them; clypeus laterally very 

 minutely punctulate, with a median, smooth, polished and impunctate area; 

 medially the clypeus is produced, with a somewhat reflexed anterior margin; 

 malar space about one-third as long as broad, with close punctures; mandibles 

 gross, elbowed, with a deep incision on their lower margin, and their anterior 

 surface with a very strong carina bounding the scrobe and extending the entire 

 length of the mandibles; scrobe flat, rugosely punctate and hirsute. Scape 

 short, scarcely as long as the first two segments of the flagellum, much bent 

 out apically, roughly punctulate and hirsute, with an infero-anterior obscure 

 carina; pedicel scarcely as long as broad, about two-thirds the length of the 

 first segment of the flagellum, the latter about two-thirds the length of the 

 second, which is about equal to the third; pedicel and flagellum puberulent. 



Humeral angles absent; pronotum without differentiated cephaUc and dorsal 

 surfaces, a little more closely punctured than the front; mesonotum with 

 sparser larger punctures; scutellum punctured like the pronotum; meso- 

 pleura impunctate except medially; mesosternum on each side with a short, 

 blunt, somewhat oblique, nipple-like tubercle; metapleura impunctate; pro- 

 podeum posteriorly shallowly reticulate, with a smooth, basal, median area, 

 bounded laterally and traversed medially by carinae; punctate portions of 

 the thorax bearing sparse, erect, white pubescence, longest on the propodeum 

 and pronotum, mingled with a few black hairs on the posterior part of the 

 mesonotum; pleura in places, especially beneath the forewings, with a short 

 silvery pubescence, giving a sheen in certain lights. 



Fore wings nearly hyaline basally, a poorly defined fuscous cloud traversing 

 them in the region of the stigma becomes obsolete at the apex; the cell Rt 

 (third submarginal) not enclosed. Hind wings also with a transverse cloud in 

 the stigmatal region. 



Legs except the coxae and trochanters dark brown; the coxae, trochanters, 

 and femora covered with erect, very sparse, white hairs, the tibiae and tarsi 



TRANS. AM. EXT. SOC, XLII.
