  The

  is 
  not 
  developed 
  in 
  Parshley's 
  

   type 
  and 
  in 
  certain 
  other 
  specimens, 
  but 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  malformation.

  This

  is 
  represented 
  in 
  North 
  American

  with 
  a 
  European 
  example.

  EMPICORIS 
  ORTHONEURON. 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Male. 
  — 
  Similar 
  to 
  errabundus 
  in 
  color, 
  except 
  that 
  the 
  type 
  shows 
  

   no 
  distinct 
  spotting 
  at 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings, 
  but 
  these 
  wings 
  

   in 
  this 
  specimen 
  are 
  in 
  poor 
  condition 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  possible 
  to 
  be. 
  

   absolutely 
  sure 
  of 
  this 
  character. 
  The 
  venation 
  of 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  

   discal 
  cell 
  is 
  as 
  in 
  reticulatits, 
  but 
  the 
  minute 
  honeycomb 
  of 
  lines 
  

   is 
  absent 
  (fig. 
  4), 
  the 
  stigma 
  is 
  narrower, 
  fuscous, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  

   more 
  conspicuous 
  blackish 
  mark 
  on 
  middle 
  of 
  veins 
  closing 
  discal 
  

   cell 
  and 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  vein 
  that 
  emanates 
  from 
  them. 
  The 
  form 
  

   of 
  the 
  apical 
  sternite 
  is 
  shown
