8. Ceropales pacifica, new species 



Forewing 4.4 to 5.7 mm. long; second flagellar segment about 1.6 

 as long as wide; frons dull, with small close punctures and scattered 

 larger punctures, diameters of which are about 2 to 3 times as great 

 as those of the smaller punctures; longer hairs on frons about 1.0 as 

 long as the diameter of an ocellus; mesopleuron with medium sized, 

 deep punctures that are separated by about 2.5 their diameter; male 

 subgenital plate broadly lanceolate but upcurved on the sides so as 

 to appear narrower; female subgenital plate distinctly longer than in 

 the other species of the femoralis group. 



Colored as in C. rugata except that the white markings average 

 smaller (or some of the smaller ones lacking entirely), that the longer 

 hairs of the head and thorax are dark brown, and that the front and 

 middle femora and tibiae are more or less infuscate.
