  EMPICORIS 
  RETICULATUS. 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Male 
  and 
  female. 
  — 
  Similar 
  to 
  erraJby/ndus 
  in 
  color, 
  the 
  spots 
  at 
  

   apices 
  of 
  hind 
  wings 
  very 
  distinct. 
  Differs 
  as 
  indicated 
  in 
  key, 
  the 
  

   reticulation 
  or 
  honeycombing 
  of 
  forewings 
  visible 
  only 
  under 
  a 
  very 
  

   high 
  power. 
  The 
  apical 
  abdominal 
  sternite 
  of 
  male 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  

   of 
  orthoneuron 
  and 
  quite 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  errabundus 
  (figs. 
  5 
  

   and 
  12) 
  . 
  As 
  in 
  errabundus 
  and 
  orthoneuron 
  the 
  cross- 
  veins 
  in 
  mid- 
  

   dle 
  of 
  hind-wings 
  are 
  angulated 
  and 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  forewings 
  are 
  

   notched 
  where 
  the 
  vein 
  joins 
  the 
  margin. 
  Apical 
  antennal 
  segment 
  

   nearly 
  half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  preapical. 
  Base 
  of 
  abdomen 
  with 
  a 
  much 
  

   shorter 
  dorsal 
  thorn 
  than 
  in 
  errabundus.
