  Two 
  North 
  American 
  species 
  described 
  by 
  Ashmead 
  in 
  Cero- 
  

   cephala 
  also 
  lack 
  the 
  tuft 
  of 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  forewing 
  and 
  seem 
  to 
  

   agree, 
  except 
  in 
  one 
  respect, 
  with 
  the 
  generic 
  characters 
  given 
  in 
  

   the 
  descriptions 
  by 
  both 
  Girault 
  and 
  Dodd. 
  The 
  male 
  antennae 
  

   of 
  the 
  only 
  Australian 
  species 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  male 
  was 
  known 
  were 
  

   described 
  by 
  Dodd 
  as 
  being 
  11-segmented 
  consisting 
  of 
  a 
  scape, 
  

   pedicel, 
  one 
  ring 
  joint, 
  seven 
  funicular 
  segments, 
  and 
  an 
  appar- 
  

   ently 
  solid 
  club. 
  A 
  specimen 
  identified 
  by 
  Dodd 
  as 
  a 
  variety 
  of 
  

   that 
  species 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum, 
  and 
  it 
  agrees 
  with 
  

   that 
  description. 
  In 
  males 
  of 
  the 
  single 
  North 
  American 
  species 
  

   of 
  which 
  this 
  sex 
  is 
  known, 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  10-segmented, 
  con- 
  

   sisting 
  of 
  scape, 
  pedicel, 
  six 
  funicular 
  segments, 
  and 
  a 
  distinctly 
  

   2-segmented 
  club. 
  No 
  ring 
  segment 
  is 
  visible, 
  and 
  the 
  seventh 
  

   segment 
  beyond 
  the 
  pedicel, 
  while 
  closely 
  resembling 
  a 
  funicular 
  

   segment, 
  is 
  obviously 
  more 
  closely 
  united 
  with 
  the 
  apical 
  segment 
  

   than 
  with 
  the 
  preceding 
  and 
  forms 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  club. 
  The 
  an- 
  

   tennae 
  of 
  the 
  females 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  apparently 
  do 
  not 
  differ 
  

   from 
  those 
  of 
  females 
  of 
  the 
  Australian 
  species, 
  and 
  the 
  difference 
  

   in 
  the 
  one 
  sex 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  believe 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  generic 
  importance.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  known 
  only 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  description 
  which 
  

   is 
  as 
  follows:

  According 
  to 
  Dodd 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  distinguished 
  from 
  the 
  othei 
  

   Australian 
  species 
  by 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  only 
  one 
  fuscous 
  band 
  oi 
  

   the 
  forewing. 
  

  

  It 
  was 
  described 
  from 
  Lord 
  Howe 
  Island, 
  Australia.
