  We 
  have 
  two 
  brachypterous 
  females 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  one 
  a 
  paratype. 
  

   On 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  leathery 
  texture 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  it 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  trace 
  

   the 
  venation, 
  but 
  there 
  are 
  evidently 
  two 
  veins 
  emanating 
  from 
  the 
  

   discal 
  cell, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  longer 
  hairs, 
  a 
  small 
  

   cell 
  at 
  inner 
  angle 
  of 
  corium 
  is 
  indicated. 
  In 
  one 
  specimen 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  

   distinct 
  bristle 
  near 
  anterior 
  angle 
  of 
  pronotum, 
  indicating 
  the 
  proba- 
  

   bility 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  subgenus 
  Ceratocombus. 
  The 
  

   broad 
  cream-colored 
  band 
  across 
  bases 
  of 
  fore 
  wings 
  readily 
  dis- 
  

   tinguishes 
  this 
  from 
  any 
  other 
  described 
  species. 
  Length,

  specimen

  * 
  We 
  use 
  this 
  color 
  character 
  to 
  key 
  C. 
  fasoiatus 
  because 
  the 
  venational 
  characters 
  are 
  

   so 
  difficult 
  to 
  make 
  out 
  ; 
  as 
  we 
  have 
  seen 
  them, 
  however, 
  they 
  indicate 
  that 
  this 
  species 
  

   is 
  referable 
  to 
  the 
  typical 
  subgenus.
