^ielaiidria Suniichrasti Norton, Trans. Am. Ent. Sop. iv, 82. — "9- — 

 Length 0.25; br. wings 0.50 inch. — Rather stout; antennae moderately swelled 

 in middle, the four apical joints diminishing in size and length, final joint 

 pointed; no sutures at sides of ocelli, a lengthened pit back of each upper 

 ocellus, three little pits back of antennae; nasus wide, margin subsinuate, 

 a little protuberant in middle; surface shining, covered with whitish hair; 

 inner claw tooth near the tip, long, appearing bifid. Color of head back to 

 neck, pro- and mesothorax, scutel, tegulse and collar, yellow-red ; remainder 

 of body shining black; three little dots back of antennae, cheek, labrum and 

 palpi, black; legs black, the two or three basal joints of tarsi clear white; 

 wings subobscure, blackish, lower half of stigma brownish ; first submarginal 

 cell rather long, second submarginal cross-nervure receiving the recurrent 

 nervure at the intersection of second and third cells, lanceolate cell petiolate, 

 under wing with no inner cells, its marginal cell with a small appendiculate 

 cell at the tip." 



Hah. — Cordova, Mexico. Belongs to subgenus B/ennocamj^a Hartig. 



jlielaiiflria lascipeiiiiis Norton, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. iv, 84. — "$. — 



Length 0.30 — 0.35; br. wings 0.68—0.72 inch. — Color yellow-red ; antennae, a spot 

 about ocelli, palpi, and the three apical segments of tergum, black ; legs yellow- 

 red, the apical half of all the tibiae and all the tarsi, except a yellow 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. Antennae, 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 Stronyylogaster mellosus, %. 



Hah. — Mexico. (Coll. Am. Ent. Soc.) Belongs to subgenus Mono-
