Type: exposed length of wing, .4; width of tegmen, .52; width of abdomen, 
.68 min. Allotype: width of alidomen, .95 mm. 
To the naked eye, the in.sects appear ochraceous-buff, suffused with fuscous 
black on the tegmina and medio-distal portion of the abdomen, before which a 
brief whitish area is apparent. Under the microscope the coloration is seen to 
be: (Intensive.) Head russet. Antennae ochraceous-tawny, with the last 
two or three segments blackish brown. Pronotum ochraceous-tawny, deepen- 
ing meso-caudad to blackish brown; narrowly margined, except cephalad, with 
light buff, this broadest meso-caudad. Tegmina mummy brown, shading to 
ochraceous-tawny cephalad and margined with light buff at the distal cur\’ature 
of the costal margin. Exposed portion of wings blackish brown. Abdomen 
with second dorsal segment blackish brown laterad, broadly ochraceous- 
buff between, with a faint tinge of cinnamon brown mesad; third dorsal seg- 
ment ochraceous-buff, with latero-dorsal tufts of whitish hairs and a weak 
suffusion of cinnamon brown mesad; other segments blackish brown. Forceps 
russet. Cephalic limbs and median and caudal femora and tarsi ochraceous- 
tawny; median tibiae mummy brown, caudal tibiae blackish brown. (Reces- 
sive.) Dark areas less extensive, abdomen alone different: fourth dorsal seg- 
ment with large lateral areas of blackish brown, elsewhere weak ochraceous- 
tawny; succeeding segments weak ochraceous-tawny. The recessive con- 
dition is indicated, but only weakly, in two males; this condition, however, 
is shown in all the females before us. The single immature example is very 
strongly intensive in coloration. 
Specimens Examined: 14; 6 males, 7 females and 1 immature individual.
