HEMEROBIIDAE OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA — NAKAHARA 217 



dissected parts of genitalia (in balsam) mounted on two slides. 

 USNM type 66176. 



Face uniformly fuscous brown; vertex with two elongated pale 

 patches divided by median fuscous brown longitudinal stripe; palpi 

 and antennae brownish. Pronotum broadly brownish yellow medi- 

 ally, darker on sides. Mesonotum brownish yellow, fuscous brown 

 on sides. Metanotum almost totally fuscous brown. Abdomen 

 fuscous brown. Legs brownish yellow. 



Forewing: Length 9.5 mm, width 3.5 mm, rather elongated with 

 rounded apex; longitudinal veins pale with fuscous brown spots and 

 short streaks; inner and outer gradates deeply fuscous and strongly 

 margined with brown; basal crossveins m-cu and cu also fuscous and 

 margined; membrane hyahne, with many small sagittate maculations 

 in discal area; outer and hindmarginal area marked with scattered 

 brownish patches; the markings forming a long brown fascia across 

 the wing over inner gradates, one over the basal crossveins, a short 

 one in hindmarginal area between the two, and a fom*th, interrupted 

 fascia over outer gradates. Hindwing hyaline; veins fuscous, except 

 toward base, where they are pale. 



Male genitalia: Anal plate long and slender, rounded apically, with 

 a stout sharply pointed ventroapical process, which is bent strongly 

 forward and somewhat inward. Tenth sternite rather narrow, dorsal 

 bridge between "wings" short, narrowly produced posteriorly, bearing 

 long and laterally compressed aedeagus over it; ventral process very 

 long and slender. Parameres turned up at both ends, fused in middle; 

 the^separated basal parts short, and distal parts very much longer. 



This species is like Kimminsia fumata, K. comtricta, K. pretiosa, 

 and K. schwarzi in having down-curved ventroapical process to anal 

 plate, but the anal plate itself is much longer and more slender in this 

 species, and the process is strongly bent forward and is sharply pointed. 

 It is a rather conspicuous species with maculations roughly formmg 

 four transverse bands across the forewing.
