nervellus, in the blackish hind tibiee with whitish annulus at base and 

 in the middle and in the abdomen being black or blackish above 

 except for reddish stains on the sides of the third, fourth, and fifth 

 segments. 



ANISITSIA, new genus. 



Carina! line or shortest line from hind ocelli to occipital carina 

 approximately twice as long as the postocellar line; nervellus ver- 

 tical, angulate below the middle; propodeum not attaining apex of 

 hind coxse but surpassing the middle of the same, its spiracles slit 

 like; second dorsal segment shorter than the first. Related to 

 Amorphota (Foerster) Howard. 



Type. — Campoplex villosus Norton. 



Named for Mi'. J. D. Anisits, who discovered this genus in South 

 America. 



(CAMPOPLEX) ANISITSIA BELLULUS var. a. (Dalla Torre). 



(ZACHRESTA) ANISITSIA KUKAKENSIS (Ashmead). 



(CAMPOPLEX) ANISITSIA VITTICOLLIS (Norton). 



ASTERNAULAX, new genus. 



Apparently related to (Gabunia) Coccygodes Saussure as described 

 in Schmiedelvnecht's classification in Genera Insectorum. Compared 

 with the genotype of Eclithrus Gravenhorst the principal differences 

 are as follows: Sternauli wanting; areolet pentagonal in position, 

 with its outer side merely represented by a streak; nervulus almost 

 as far beyond the basal vein as the second abscissa of the discoidal 

 vein is long, the latter distinctly shorter than the third; nervellus 

 antifurcal, broken distinctly below the middle. 



Tijpe. — Asternaulax fislcei, new species. 



ASTERNAULAX FISKEI, new species. 



Female. — Length, 8 mm.; black; first and second joints of palpi 

 whitish, the remaining joints dark, slaty; flagel 19-jointed, fifth, 

 sixth, and seventh joints more or less yellowish, all joints distinctly 

 at least twice as long as thick, the end joint truncated; fore legs 

 stramineous, excepting the onychium which is blacldsh, inflated portion 

 of fore tibise rather cylindrical; ixdd legs mostly pale, the tibice and 

 tarsi more or less darkened ; hind coxse, hind trochanters, and hind 

 femora reddish, the latter with a blackish band before the whitish 

 apex; hind tibise and tarsi blackish, the former whitish at base, as 

 are the liind metatarsi; notauli merely suggested by a slight impres- 

 sion and difference in sculpture; tubercles stramineous, tegulse and 

 wing base whitish, costa whitish basally, rest of veins brownish, 

 stigma blackish except at extreme base where it is whitish, mem- 

 branous portion of the wings with a brownish tinge, almost colorless;
