REVISION OF THE OECOPHORIDAE — CLARKE 179 



basal band. Legs: Femora whitish ochreous; fore and mid femora 

 strongly marked with reddish fuscous exteriorly; tibiae and tarsi of 

 fore and mid legs reddish fuscous with whitish ochreous inwardly. 

 Hind tibia whitish ochreous strongly tinged with pink ; tarsi strongly 

 marked with fuscous. Abdomen whitish ochreous; basal segments 

 suffused with light fuscous; underside with well-defined lateral row 

 of fuscous spots on each side. 



Male genitalia. — Harpe sparsely clothed with fine hairs; clasper 

 absent; cucullus rounded; sacculus broadly folded and with a long, 

 distally dilated, curved basal process; the latter armed with spines 

 only at distal end. Anellus a broad, sclerotized plate abruptly nar- 

 rowed in posterior half ; posterior edge strongly convex ; anterior mar- 

 gin indented. Vinculum with a strongly produced, acutely pointed 

 anterior process. Aedeagus long, slender, nearly straight ; vesica with 

 12 or more stout cornuti. Transtilla membranous with weakly de- 

 veloped, haiiy lobes. Socii long, slender, hairy flaps. 



Female genitalia. — Genital plate broad, moderately sclerotized; 

 ostium transverse, slitlike; anterior edge of ostimn slightly convex. 

 Posterior two-thirds of ductus bursae strongly sclerotized. Bursa 

 copulatrix large ; signum small and situated at the anterior end. 



Alar expanse, 18-20 mm. 



ry/?6'.— U.S.N.M. No. 52082. 



Type locality. — Hymers, Ontario (August 16-23). 



Remarks. — Described from the $ type, 1 $ and 6 $ paratypes as 

 follows: Ottawa, Ontario ?> $ $ (28-VIII-1906 ; 5-IX-1908, James 

 Fletcher; 19-III-1933, C. H. Young) ; 5 (20-V-1925, C. H. Curran) ; 

 Trenton, Ontario, $ (9-IX-lO, Evans). The other two paratype 

 $ $ are without locality labels ; one with "In office, 21-X-1903" and the 

 other "23-X-04 J. F." (James Fletcher?). Paratypes in U. S. Na- 

 tional and Canadian National collections. I am indebted to Dr. J. 

 McDunnough for seven of the eight specimens of the type series. 



This species is the eastern analogue of the western juliella but is 

 immediately distinguished from juliella by its smaller size. The 

 genitalia of the two are similar but differ as follows : In the male of 

 juliella the vinculum is bluntly pointed, in eleanorae sharply pointed ; 

 the basal process from the sacculus of juliella is spiny over practically 

 its entire length while that of eleanorae has spines only on the distal 

 half; on the vesica of jidiella there is one comutus which is noticeably 

 much larger than the rest, but in eleanorae the differences in the 

 lengths of the cornuti are not so striking. The ductus bursae of the 

 female genitalia of eleanorae exhibits a sclerotized portion of much 

 greater length than that found in juliella. 



I take pleasure in naming this species for Mrs. Eleanor A. Carlin, 

 staff artist for the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
