Remarks. — Recently, through the kindness of Prof. Nathan Banks, 

 the writer was permitted to treat Hagen's fragmentary type in KOH 

 and to mount the parts in balsam for greater permanency and ease of 

 examination. The accompanying figures of the head and of the ter- 

 minalia are made from the type. Recent redescriptions of the species 

 (Davis; Ross) appear to have been made from correctly identified 

 specimens. 



The terminalia, as noted by Davis, arc in very poor condition, but 

 the all-important processes (10 LP. 10 RPi, and LCB) are present. 

 In the course of preparing the terminalia it was noted that the ter- 

 minal tarsal segment of some insect, probably the type itself, was 

 lodged in the tenth tergal cleft with its claws overlapping the tip of
