352 gundlach's work on the odoxata of cuba 



Color pattern on sides of prothorax, on mesostigmal lamina and on mesin- 

 fraepisternum as in the female. 



9 . Stigma and pale postociilar spots as in the male. 



Black on each side of middle prothoracic lobe sinuately, and less deeply, 

 emarginated by the pale color inferiorlj^ (fig. 48t). 



Mesostigmal lamina with its external half pale, internal (mesal) end black 

 (fig.48t). 



Mesinfraepisternum predominantly black, only its lowest fourth to third 

 pale (fig. 48t). 



Abdomen, cf 26-27.5, 9 24-27; hind wing, d" 17-18.5, 9 17-20; costal edge 

 of stigma, front wing (including the widths of both bounding cross-veins), cf 

 .52-.56, 9 .52-.63 mm. 



Cardenium (twenty-one males, eighteen females from Cuba only) : cf . Tooth 

 on the inner surface of the superior appendages at six-tenths to seven-tenths 

 their length, developed as a carina slanting caudad and mesad, the two ends of 

 which are more elevated so as to form two pointed tubercles; inferior branch 

 of the same appendages, seen in profile view, distinctly wider than long (even 

 to twice as wide as long) and forming between itself and the superior branch 

 only a very shallow sinus which extends much less cephalad (if at all) as com- 

 pared with coecum. 



Stigma of the front wings tending to be narrower and with a more acute 

 antero-external angle (cf. pi. xxxv, figs. 38s, 39s with 45s). 



Pale postocular spots narrower, i. e., .28-.38 mm. 



Color pattern on sides of prothorax like that of the female (in seventeen 

 males, like coecum (two males), or obscured by pruinose (two males) ; of mesostig- 

 mal lamina resembling that of coecum; of mesinfraepisternum like that of the 

 female, i. e., with the inferior half or more pale (eleven males), or with only 

 the lowest third pale (eight males). 



9 . Stigma of the front wings {cf. pi. xxxv, figs. 43s, 46s, 47s with 48s) and 

 postocular spots as in the male. 



Black on each side of middle prothoracic lobe angularly, and more deeply, 

 emarginated by the pale color inferiorly {cf. figs. 43t and 4St). 



Mesostigmal lamina black with an oblique pale streak running from near 

 the antero-lateral to the postero-mesal angle (fig. 43t); in some the anterior 

 margin of the lamina is also narrowly pale so that the two pale streaks, imiting 

 laterad, form a V. 



Mesinfraepisternum black with the inferior half (or more than half) pale 

 (fig. 43t) or, less frequently (three females), with only the lowest third pale. 



Abdomen, cf 21-24.5, 9 22-26; hind wing, cf 15-16.5, 9 16-17.5; costal 

 edge of stigma (measured as for coecum), cf .56-.65, 9 .52-. 63 mm. 



Although the difference between the pterostigmata of coecum and of car- 

 denium is a relative, not an absolute, one, it will be seen, on comparing the 

 measurements of hind wings and of stigmata of the two forms, that cardenium, 

 with absolutely shorter wings, has the stigma equal to or longer than the 

 stigma of coecum. 



The preceding comparisons are between Jamaican and Cuban specimens 

 only. A single male from Hayti, received from the late Prof. P. R. Uhler (Acad. 

 Nat. Sci. Phila.), furnishes some connecting features. Thus, the tooth on
