and left paraproct (LPPT) well defined, nearly equal in length. 

 Left cercus-basipodite (LCB) with prominent inner dorsal "claws" 

 projecting forward between 10 LP and 10 RPi; ventral lobe simple. 

 Basal segment of left cercus (LCi) strongly, acutely lobed subapically, 

 this lobe equal in length to inner lobes of LCB; darkly pigmented. 

 Basal segment of right cercus deeply, abruptly emarginated, produced 

 subapically as a large, blunt inner lobe. Terminal segments of both 

 cerci simple, equal. 



Female. — Color (on slide) : Head straw yellow, antennae, meso- 

 thoracic, metathoracic, and abdominal sclerites light brown; pro- 

 thorax and legs tan. Length 7 mm. Head broadly oval, occipital 

 foramen broadly rounded anteriorly, as well as at posterior angles. 

 Eighth sternite of abdomen pigmented at sides only, extensively 

 membranous medially. Ninth sternite rather strongly pigmented 

 basally, membranous along apical margin; very broadly, shallowly 

 emarginated at base.

Remarks. — Although a comparison of figures of terminalia of tliis 

 species with those of the two Venezuela species described below might 

 suggest a great similarity, the three species are quite distinct. They 

 may be separated by their size and color as well as by the form of the 

 head and processes of the terminalia.
