44 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN 248 posthumous 



Diagnosis: May be recognized by the narrow temples and narrow, 

 circular frons; by the occipital nodi and their lateral wings; by the shape 

 of the pleurites in the female; and also by the presence of three small, 

 round incrassations, set in the form of a triangle, on the pleurites of the 

 male. 



The male genitalia are very characteristic. See table of measurements 

 and key to the species for other data. 



Cracimenopon huilensis, new species 

 Figures iv:9,12,I7,23 



Holotype female, allotype male, and 2 paratypes from Ortalis guttatus 

 colombianus Hellmayr collected by the author at Belen, Dept. of Huila, 

 Colombia, on March 16, 1952 (type in USNM). 



Diagnosis: Resembles caquetae in the narrow, circular frons, but the 

 temples are wider; the occipital nodi with connecting carina and lateral 

 wings are characteristic; also the wide pterothorax. 



The male has head of similar shape ; as in caquetae, there are three small, 

 round incrassations on the pleurites ; the large genitalia are very distinctive. 

 See table of measurements and key to species for further details. 



Cracimenopon waglert, new species 

 Figures iv:13,18 



Holotype female and allotype male from Ortalis waglert (G. R. Gray) 

 collected in Mexico (type in USNM). 



Diagnosis: Female with head rather small for size of body, narrow at 

 temples (0.61) and wide at frons (0.41); occipital nodi large, black, with 

 posterior half extending back of occipital margin, and without lateral 

 wings. Pleurites roughly triangular in shape, with black outer margins, 

 and only II-VI with prominent spines. Brush of setae on third femora 

 with only two rows of short setae. 



Male genitalia comparatively small, with endomeral sac wider than 

 long and movable sclerite distinctive. Tips of parameres broken off at 

 dotted lines but are probably as indicated. See table of measurements 

 and key to species for more details.
