  Apparently 
  runs 
  to 
  that 
  section 
  of 
  our 
  key 
  embracing 
  the 
  new 
  

   species, 
  spiniger 
  and 
  perplexus, 
  but 
  the 
  meso- 
  and 
  meta-notal 
  spines 
  

   if 
  properly 
  figured, 
  differ 
  from 
  those 
  of 
  either 
  of 
  these 
  species 
  or 
  in 
  

   fact 
  from 
  any 
  we 
  have 
  seen. 
  The 
  mesonotal 
  spine 
  is 
  represented 
  as 
  

   erect 
  and 
  acute 
  and 
  the 
  metanotal, 
  swollen 
  at 
  tip 
  and 
  curved 
  so 
  as 
  

   to 
  extend 
  forward 
  past 
  the 
  mesonotal 
  spine. 
  

  

  SYSTEMATIC 
  ARRANGEMENT 
  OF 
  THE 
  SPECIES. 
  

  

  No 
  cross 
  vein 
  emitted 
  from 
  costal 
  margin 
  of 
  basal 
  discal 
  cell 
  ; 
  basal 
  spine 
  of 
  

   fore 
  femur 
  directed 
  downward 
  ; 
  posterior 
  lobe 
  of 
  head 
  and 
  of 
  pronotum 
  

  

  without 
  tubercles. 
  (Subgenus 
  Stcnolcmoides) 
  arizonensis. 
  

  

  A 
  cross 
  vein 
  emitted 
  from 
  costal 
  margin 
  of 
  basal 
  discal 
  cell 
  ; 
  posterior 
  lobe 
  

   of 
  head 
  and 
  of 
  pronotum 
  with 
  tubercles 
  (Subgenus 
  Stenolemus) 
  . 
  

   Prothorax 
  deeply 
  constricted 
  but 
  not 
  pedunculate. 
  

  

  Basal 
  spine 
  of 
  fore

  Basal 
  spine 
  of

  basad 
  pallidipennis. 
  

  

  Prothorax 
  pedunculate 
  ; 
  basal 
  spine 
  of

  directed 
  basad.

  interstitialis. 
  

  

  hirtipes. 
  

  

  mexicanus. 
  

  

  spiniger.

  Stenolemoides, 
  new 
  subgenus. 
  

  

  Differs 
  from 
  subgenus 
  /Stenolemus 
  in 
  the 
  venation 
  of 
  fore 
  and 
  hind 
  

   wings 
  as 
  shown 
  in 
  figures 
  14 
  and 
  15, 
  the 
  basal 
  discal 
  cell 
  in 
  former 
  

   having 
  no 
  vein 
  emitted 
  from 
  its 
  costal 
  margin. 
  The 
  basal 
  spine 
  of 
  

   posteroventral 
  series 
  on 
  fore 
  femur 
  is 
  directed 
  downward 
  and 
  not 
  

   sloped 
  towards 
  base 
  of 
  femur 
  as 
  in 
  most 
  species 
  of 
  Stenolemus.
