HEMEROBIIDAE OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA — NAKAHARA 219 



fused in middle and separated proxiinally and distally; the proximal 

 lobes shorter than distal parts, all sharply pointed at ends. 



The strongly curved ventroapical process of anal plate in this 

 species reminds one of K. posticata, but anal plate is very much 

 narrower in lateral view and the apical prolongation is only slightly 

 more slender than the body of the plate. This species is very much 

 smaller than K. posticata, and the forewing membrane is uniformly 

 smoky in discal area, maculations being confined to postcubital area.

Kimminsia melaleuca, new species 



Plate 1 (Figure 5) 



Holotype 9, Alaska Highway, Mile Post 720, Yukon Territory, 

 July 2, 1952 (C. P. Alexander). Right forewing mounted dry on a 

 slide. USNM type 66178. 



Face shining black, brownish toward anterior margin of clypeus; 

 vertex dull black. Antennae fuscous, almost black. Pronotum 

 black, narrowly margined with brownish yellow anteriorly, with two 

 ill-defined brownish-yellow longitudinal stripes submedially. Meso- 

 notum black, with two brownish-yellow patches lateroposteriorly, 

 each enclosing a short black longitudinal streak. Metanotum and 

 abdomen black. Legs brownish yellow, femur broadly banded with 

 dark brown toward both ends. 



Forewing: Length 7 mm., width 3 mm., apex rounded. Veins 

 black, interrupted with numerous white spaces; both series of gra- 

 dates deep black, strongly margined with fuscous black, especially the 

 posterior crossveins of the inner series ; sagittate maculations of discal 

 area strongly developed and mostly transversely confluent; outer and 

 hindmarginal areas, distal to outer gradates, and behind Cui decorated 

 Avith large patches of alternate black and hyaline white. Maculations 

 faint in costal space. Hind wing very distinctly smoky, with fuscous 

 black venation; crossveins in pterostigmatic area conspicuously 

 white. 



The forewing of this black-bodied species is very striking because of 

 the hyaline spots that appear so white owing to the whiteness of the
