extends around the segment. Thoracic feet black, abdominal and anal legs 

 green. Length 18 — 19 mm. It lives upon Celtis occidentalis, without larval case, 

 drawing together the terminal leaves and living within."

 110 note of the time of the emergence of the larva.

Differs from Salebria first, in lacking the thoracic tuftings below ; 

 second, in the hind wings vein 2 is near the angle and the cell is 

 shoi't. 



Differs from Elasmopalpus in that the wings are much wider, and 

 in the hind wings 2 is near the angle and the cell is short. 



I do not think the genus has very good reasons for existing. In- 

 deed, I see no very strong reasons why Salebria and Elasmopalpus 

 should be distinct.
