4 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 66 



Head yellow, including proboscis, palpi, and antennae. Thorax 

 yellow, mesonotum without median stripe, but with one above root 

 of wing ending at suture, and one on mesopleura just below noto- 

 pleural suture; the double inflated sclerite between halter and root 

 of wing is white on the mesial portion ; otherwise the whole thorax is 

 yellow. Halteres yellow in one specimen, the knob infuscated in the 

 other. Abdomen short and wide, wholly yellow; ovipositor as long 

 as all the rest of the insect, the parts measuring by micrometer as 

 follows: Head, 18; thorax, 50; abdomen, 35 (total, 103) ; ovipositor, 

 103 ; the ovipositor is darker brown than the body, covered with dark 

 hair, the basal third tapers gradually while the remainder is cylin- 

 drical. Legs yellow. 



Wings with yellow and brown pattern as in parallela^ but the 

 fourth vein curves so far forward that the first posterior cell is 

 more nearly closed than usual (by micrometer 7 units wide at tip and 

 12 units a little before). 



Length with ovipositor, 19 mm.; without, 9.5 mm. 



Two females, Cayuga, Guatemala (Schaus and Barnes). 



Ty/^e.— Female, Cat. No. 26838, U.S.N.M. 



Named in honor of J. T. Barnes, the companion of William 

 Schaus, and discoverer of this species. 



ANASTREPHA CORDATA, new species 



Female. — A black-marked species with long ovipositor and strik- 

 ing heavy blackish spot covering hind cross vein. 



Head yellow, the ocellar triangle, orbits at vertex and an in- 

 definite occipital spot shining black: antennae yellow, palpi nar- 

 rowly infuscated at tip. Thorax yellow, the dorsum with a pair of 

 inner black stripes abbreviated behind, and an outer pair inter- 

 rupted at the suture and abbreviated in front; a transverse black 

 band just in front of scutellum; pleurae yellow, metanotum with a 

 heart-shaped, shining black spot, notched with yellow in the middle 

 above. Halteres yellow. 



Abdomen yellow, the second to fifth segments with successively 

 narrower basal black bands, that on the fifth interrupted. By mi- 

 crometer the measurements are as follows : Head 16 ; thorax 34 ; ab- 

 domen 30 (total 80) ; ovipositor 49. Thus the ovipositor is about 

 five-eighths as long as all the rest of the insect. It is yellow, more 

 brown apically, tapering on the basal half, and densely hairy. 



Wing with the pattern of uniform clear j^ellow color except the 

 inverted V, of which one arm covers the posterior cross vein; this 

 V is all blackish in color, and the part covering the cross vein is 

 expanded and very striking. The hyaline stripe extending from 

 the second basal cell to the costa is interrupted at the third vein
