pronotum, tegmina, wings, aljdomen and forceps thickly supplied with short 
hairs, abdomen with few longer hairs. Male sex unknown.) 
Geracodes litus new species 
A.\. Tarsal claws with arolia. First antennal joint distinctly less than twice 
as long as any of the distal joints. Wings extending beyond tegmina much 
less than tegminal length. (Male forceps simple.) 
B. Antennae with third joint pyriform; succeeding joints short, flattened 
rectangulato-oval, moniliform. Pronotum not strikingly narrower than 
head, metazona deplanate. Male without armed metaiierameres or 
projecting ventro-distal lateral spines. (Eye about as long as cheek. An- 
temiae wdth fourteen to sixteen joints; first antennal joint hea\y and rather 
elongate, widened mesad. Tegmen very elongate, nearly three times as long 
as pronotum. Head, tegmina, wings, abdomen and forceps very thickly 
supplied with short hairs; pronotum fringed laterad with some stouter hairs, 
which are elongate cephalad; abdomen and forceps with numerous longer 
hairs. Barygerax esau new species 
BB. Antennae vith third joint sub cylindrical; succeeding joints more elon- 
gate, not moniliform. Pronotum strikingly narrower than head, metazona 
decidedly ascending to lateral margins. Male with armed metaperameres 
or projecting ventro-distal lateral spines. (Antennae with eleven to thirteen 
joints -®; fourth joint slightly shorter than third; succeeding joints increasing, 
then decreasing, in length. Wings moderately projecting beyond tegmina.) 
C. Eye very large, over twice as long as the short cheek. Tegmen very 
elongate, nearly three times as long as pronotum. Head supplied with 
minute, microscopic hairs; pronotum smooth, vdth a single bristle at each 
cephalic angle; tegmina and wings smooth; abdomen and forceps thickly 
supplied with short hairs and vath numerous longer hairs. Male without 
lateral aciculate projections beneath base of forceps. Metaperameres of 
male with two decurved, chitinous fangs. Gerax phantasma new species 
CC. Eye small, distinctly shorter than cheek. Tegmen moderately 
elongate, slightly over twice as long as pronotum. Head, pronotum, 
tegmina, wings, abdomen and forceps thickly supplied with minute hairs, 
abdomen and forceps with numerous longer hairs. Male with an elongate, 
chitinous, aciculate process projecting caudad at the base of each arm of 
the forceps. Metaperameres of male without chitinous processes. 
Eugerax poecilum new species 
GERACODES^" new genus 
Very distinctive in characters of the antennae and wings. Of 
a general Labiine facies and showing nearest agreement with 
Labia minor, differing from that species in: the much more elon- 
The antennae are incomplete, apparently clipped, in the type of Gerax 
pharitastna and in the majority of the specimens of Eugerax poecilum. The 
general similarity leads us to believe that the number of joints will be found 
about the same in these species. 
From yepax and -o5es = resembling Gerax.
