jointed, as long as breadth of wing ; tlie first segment longer than 

 broad, second globular, 3-12 with basal enlargements and slender 

 pedicles; pedicle of 12 short, but not reduced so much as shown in 

 figure; 13 spherical, closely joined to 14, which has a terminal spike. 

 Ventral plate almost as broad as long, cleft over half-way to base. 

 Ovipositor quite strong, slightly curved, tapering gradually to rather 

 acute tip, one fifth millimeter long. Inferior male genitalia very 

 long, slender, sickle shaped, with strong clavate tenticle at tip; 

 basis of inferior appendages with short median terminal spike; 

 rounded laterally and only slightly tapering toward base; superior 

 male appendages 2-jointed; basal segment strong, shorter than ter- 

 minal one, which is slender, with acute tip, bearing short spinules. 

 Intromittent organ longer than terminal segment of superior append- 

 ages, slender, slightly curved downward. Length of wing 1.6-1.75 

 mm. ; breadth .6-. 7 mm. 



Two specimens received from Lawrence, Kansas, one through the 

 kindness of Prof. F. H. Snow, from the University collection, the 

 other from Mr. E. S. Tucker's private collection, are much lighter 

 than the writer's specimens. The wings are slightly denuded, which 

 probably accounts for the absence of the black apical spots on the 

 veins. They are about the same size as the Missouri specimens.

Psyclioda opposala Banks. 

 Psychoda opposata Banks, Canadian Entomologist, XXXIII, p. 274 (1901). 

 "Head and thorax clotlied with pale gray hair ; antennae thick, gray, longer 

 than width of wing; abdomen clothed with rather short gray hair; legs brown, 

 none of the tarsi marked with white. Wings thickly clothed with pale gray 

 hair; near base is a band of black hair, heaviest behind; slightly beyond the 

 middle of the wing there is a black spot on the costal margin and another oppo- 

 site on the posterior edge, the latter rather the larger; the extreme margin 

 around the tip appears more or less black. The fringe is mostly pale gray or 

 ainmst white on the hind margin ; on the base of the costal margin it is dark 

 gray; that on the posterior margin is almost one-half the width of the wing. 

 Wings rather narrow and acute at tip. Length of wing 1.7 mm."

"Female. — Body yellowish-white, clothed with cream-colored hair; wings 



ovate, apex obtusely rounded, more than twice as long as broad, clothed with 



cream-colored hair upon the veins, except an indistinct S-shaped band of black
