the dorsum of the thorax apparently with black and white liair; antennae not 

 longer than twice the greatest diameter of the head, slender, light yellow; the 

 basal joints dilated, black, and densely clothed with black hair; the following 

 joints elongate, slender, with a row of about six slender, successively longer, 

 erect, straight, fine bristles on the upper margin. Legs yellowish, the tarsi 

 blackish ; tibiae and tarsi, or at least the two anterior pairs, ciliate, with long 

 black hair; that on the tibise on both sides distally ; that on the tarsi chiefly on 

 the basal joint and on the posterior and dorsal margin. Length 2.2 mm. ; wings 

 2.75 mm." 



Through the kindness of Professor Snow the writer has l)een per- 

 mitted to examine Williston's type and will add the following 

 notes: Wings rather broadly rounded at tip between two simple 

 nervures; length 3.1 mm.; breadth 1.25 mm. Hair on wings prin- 

 cipally dark brown, with reflected light; anterior fringe light; 

 breadth .5 mm. ; posterior fringe broader, dark, except light patche.s 

 between first and second anal veins, and at tip of wing, and a light 

 brown patch at tip of third anal vein ; upper surface of wing with 

 a rather distinct, narrow, transverse band of white, midway between 

 furcations and ti]) of wing, bordered on its inner margin with a nar- 

 row band of black ; at the furcations a broader but less distinct 

 band, consisting of scattered white hair; under surface of wings 

 principally dark brown, with some scattered white hair; bifurca- 

 tions about even, near middle of wing. 



One wing and part of the body is all that is left of the specimen. 

 Should probably be Pericoma.

"Black, with thorax clothed in the middle with black hair, and on the sides 

 with snow-white hair, in some cases it appears to be all white haired ; the abdo- 

 men with long, dense, black hair; the wings with blackish hair and patches of 

 erect white hair, the tips of the posterior veins with a black dot and a white spot 

 between them, some of the anterior veins also usually tipped with a black dot; 

 most of the fringe on the anterior margin is black, but near tip and on posterior 

 margin gray or whitish, where it is four times as long as the width of a cell ; the 

 legs are black, with black hairs and scales and a few white scales at the tip of 

 the joints. The male antennse are black, quite thick, shorter than the width of 

 wing, with short, black and longer gray appres.sed hair; in the female the an- 

 tennse are more slender and more sparingly clothed. There are a few patches of 

 white hair on the head. The wings are quite bioad, but hardly as acute at tip 

 as in some species. The genitalia are not prominent, being concealed by the 

 long black hair of the abdomen. The inferior appendages of the male are black.
