  Named 
  in 
  honor 
  of 
  the 
  collector. 
  This 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  distinct 
  

   species 
  known 
  to 
  us. 
  The 
  submedian 
  dorsal 
  pronotal 
  carinae 
  are 
  

   not 
  sharp 
  in 
  any 
  other 
  species, 
  and 
  the 
  only 
  other 
  which 
  has 
  the 
  dark 
  

   areas 
  of 
  the 
  forewings 
  with 
  minute 
  hyaline 
  dots 
  is 
  P. 
  parshhyi 
  

   Bergroth. 
  

  

  EMPICORIS 
  WINNEMANA, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Male. 
  — 
  This 
  species 
  differs 
  from 
  all 
  the 
  others 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  legs 
  

   and 
  antennae 
  almost 
  entirely 
  brownish 
  fuscous, 
  with 
  but 
  faint 
  annuli 
  

   except 
  at 
  extreme 
  apices 
  of 
  segments, 
  the 
  fore 
  and 
  mid 
  femora 
  alone 
  

   showing 
  distinguishable 
  annuli. 
  The 
  pronotum 
  is 
  almost 
  uniformly 
  

   brownish 
  and 
  the 
  thoracic 
  spines 
  are 
  stramineous. 
  The 
  wings 
  are 
  as 
  

   in 
  errabwndus, 
  but 
  the 
  linear 
  stigma 
  is 
  entirely 
  black 
  as 
  far 
  before 
  

   as 
  beyond 
  the 
  cross-vein.
