Selamlria longipeimis, n. sp. (Sec. 1, Tribe 2.) 



$. — Length 0.26; br. wings 0.68 inch. — Antennae, except two basal joints, 

 wanting. A suture like pit back of two upper ocelli, no suture at their sides, but 

 strongly channeled; three pits back of antennas; nasus rather wide, margin 

 truncate ; labrum rounded ; head and body shining, not highly polished; legs 

 thickly covered with white hairs ; inner claw teeth long, just within the tip. 

 Black, palpi black; nasus, labrum, apex of all the femora, basal third of the 

 tibiee and the basal tarsal joint, clear white; anterior claw joint waxen; wings 

 very long, not very wide, upper pair blackish, semi-obscure, marginal vein 

 bending rapidly up to the costal margin, the whole vein forming almost a half 

 circle; lanceolate cell petiolate; lanceolate cell of under wing long, extending 

 nearly to tip of wing, receiving the cross-nervure near its tip ; traces of broken 

 outer nervures at ends of nerves. 



Near Cordova, Mexico. (Prof. Sumichrasfc.) One specimen. The 

 neuration of the under wing is quite unlike any other species of this 

 Section (1). 

 Selamlria mexicana, Norton. (Sec. 1, Tr. 2, Div. A.) 



Variety. — Larger than the type specimen, being 0.37 inch long. 

 The wings are obscure violaceous, and the color of legs piceous instead 

 of whitish. 



Mexico. Three % $ specimens. (Coll. Am. Ent. Soc.) 



Selandi-ia fascipennis, n. sp. 



£ , — Length 0.30 — 0.35 ; br. wing 0.68 — 0.72 inch — Color yellow-red; anten- 

 nae, a spot about ocelli, palpi, and the three apical segments of tergum, black ; 

 legs yellow-red, the apical half of all the tibiee and all the tarsi, except a yel- 

 low band on the first joint, black; wings black, very black at base, with a wide 

 yellow band across the middle, including most of stigma, narrowest above. 

 Antenna?, the two basal joints pale, of nearly equal length, the four apical joints 

 decreasing rapidly in size and length ; head rather thin, nearly as wide as 

 thorax; ocelli in a small triangle, the lower ocellus in a deep small basin, three 

 little round pits above base of antennae. ; hinder coxae twice as long as those 

 preceding; claws strongly cleft, with a large, blunt inner tooth; wings rather 

 long, first recurrent nervure received near the middle of second submarginal 

 cell, and the second nervure near the base of third ; lanceolate cell rather large ; 

 under wings with an appendiculate nerve on the marginal cell. 



% . — The male has the antennae pale beneath, and the first and second joints 

 .partly black; the under wings are without inner cells and have the outer cells 

 closed as in Strongylogaster mellosus, %. 



Mexico. Six % £ specimens. (Coll. Am. Ent. Soc.) 



Selamlria iiircqiii«leiis, n. sp. 



9- — Length 0.25; br. wings 0.50 inch. — Color piceous red, with the head, two

 joint not decreasing suddenly in length ; face below the occiput quite depressed, 

 rugose; nasus with a shallow angular notch; claws deeply cleft; under wings 

 with one inner cell ; outer cells open. 



Texas. Two specimens. (Coll. Am. Ent. Soc.)
