  Male. 
  — 
  Very 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  preceding 
  species, 
  differing 
  as 
  stated 
  

   in 
  the 
  key. 
  The 
  pronotum 
  is 
  without 
  the 
  slight 
  dorso-median 
  sulcus 
  

   of 
  Carolina, 
  the 
  eyes 
  in 
  the 
  winged 
  form 
  are 
  larger, 
  and 
  the 
  longest 
  

   spines 
  on 
  the 
  postero-ventral 
  surface 
  of 
  fore 
  femur 
  are 
  not 
  as 
  long 
  

   as 
  the 
  femoral 
  diameter; 
  fore 
  tibia 
  not 
  so 
  much 
  expanded 
  distally; 
  

   central 
  spine 
  on 
  posterior 
  border 
  of 
  hypopygium 
  apparently 
  simple 
  

   instead 
  of 
  paired 
  (fig. 
  76). 
  The 
  forewing 
  has 
  the 
  venation 
  as 
  in 
  

   denticauda 
  (fig. 
  89). 
  

  

  Length, 
  6 
  mm. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  which 
  we 
  have 
  examined, 
  is 
  from 
  Florida 
  (Van 
  Duzee 
  

   Coll.). 
  We 
  have 
  the 
  species 
  also 
  from 
  Crescent 
  City, 
  Fla., 
  Uhler 
  

   Coll. 
  (U.S.N.M.) 
  

  

  The 
  crossvein 
  connecting 
  the 
  apical 
  longitudinal 
  vein 
  with 
  costa 
  

   is 
  erroneously 
  stated 
  in 
  the 
  original 
  description 
  to 
  be 
  absent. 
  

  

  PLOIARIA 
  BISPINA, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Male. 
  — 
  Almost 
  uniformly 
  pale 
  brownish 
  yellow, 
  paler 
  than 
  Caro- 
  

   lina, 
  the 
  fore 
  femur 
  not 
  annulate, 
  mid 
  and 
  hind 
  legs 
  with 
  apices 
  of 
  

   femora 
  and 
  bases 
  of 
  tibiae 
  whitish. 
  Wings 
  pale 
  brownish, 
  some- 
  

   what 
  mottled. 
  

  

  Width 
  of 
  head 
  across 
  eyes 
  almost 
  as 
  great 
  as 
  its 
  dorsal 
  length. 
  

   Pronotum 
  a 
  little 
  shorter 
  than 
  mesonotum, 
  very 
  slightly 
  sulcate 
  

   centrally. 
  Fore 
  coxa 
  1.5 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  pronotum, 
  slender, 
  not 
  granu- 
  

   lose; 
  spines 
  on 
  postero-ventral 
  surface 
  of 
  fore 
  femur 
  numerous, 
  

   three 
  or 
  four 
  between 
  each 
  pair 
  of 
  the 
  longer 
  spines, 
  the 
  latter 
  not 
  

   longer 
  than 
  the 
  femoral 
  diameter, 
  the 
  apical 
  long 
  spine 
  very 
  short 
  

   and 
  but 
  little 
  beyond 
  middle 
  of 
  femur 
  ; 
  ventral 
  setulae 
  on 
  fore 
  tibia 
  

   distinct 
  at 
  least 
  on 
  apical 
  half 
  or 
  more. 
  Posterior 
  border 
  of 
  hypo- 
  

   pygium 
  as 
  in 
  figure
