of the abdomen being very pale stramineous as compared with the 

 rest of the body, except that the abdomen is darkened beyond the 

 third segment. 



Allotopotype. — Essentially as in the type, with data the same as in 

 the type. This species may prove to be a variety of M. vulgaris 

 Cresson. 



Two male paratopotypes bearing the same data as the type and 

 allotopotype agree with M. vulgaris Cresson in color but differ there- 

 irom in that the sculpture is as in the type. 



PHANEROTOMA STRAMINEA, new species.

 sliining; flagel 21-jointed; closely related to Phanerotoma Tiumeralis 

 Ashmead from which it may be known by the nervulus being very 

 oblique, not at all parallel to the second abscissa of the discoidal vein, 

 and forming an angle of approximately 30° with the first abscissa of 

 the discoidal vein and by the uniformly stramineous dorsulum and 

 scutel. Paratypes are from San Bernadino, Paraguay, March 4, 

 April 12, and June 23, K. Fiebrig and in the KonigUche Zoologische

 of the second dorsal segment stramineous as are the lateral margin of 

 the same segment and the basal, lateral angles of the third dorsal 

 segment, the first dorsal plate one-third or less than one-third as wide 

 at apex as the second plate is wide at its apex, the second dorsal 

 segment, except as noted above, entirely black or blackish, the third
