Discussion. — The synonymy of inusitata (Johannsen) was con- 

 firmed by examination of the holotype kindly loaned by Cornell 

 University through the courtesy of Dr. L. L. Pechuman. The synon- 

 ymy of lineata Kieffer, biroi Kieffer, aberrans Johannsen, and esakiana 

 Tokunaga is established by the similarity in wing pattern taken from 

 the descriptions of Kieffer and Johannsen, and the excellent rede- 

 scrip tion and figures of Tokunaga (1962) and Tokunaga and Murachi 

 (1959), as well as the figure of the male genitalia of aberrans by Macfie 

 (1934b). Special comments: Kieffer's descriptions of lineata and biroi, 

 and Johannsen's of aberrans, indicate a IRC small and poorly defined 

 which applies to inermipes and not to quatei, new species, which other- 

 wise is nearly identical except for the distinctive male parameres. 

 An analysis of females showed about equal numbers from nearly 

 all localities having the IRC as a nodule or small but complete; 

 none showed a IRC large enough to be considered quatei. Keiffer's 

 distinction of lineata and biroi on eye separation and abdominal 

 color was discounted by Macfie (1934) in his comparison with speculae 

 Macfie, and we regard Kieffer's distinctions to be covered by variation 

 in abdominal color, as noted in our material, and by eye separation, 

 as due to mounting techniques. We have been unable to find any con- 

 sistent pattern in the variation in the thoracic or abdominal color 

 and pruinosity that could be used to recognize distinct taxa. The 

 size of the IRC and the structure of the male parameres, on the 

 other hand, appear to be important criteria. Johannsen (1946) mis- 

 interpreted a long bristle for the subgenerically diagnostic stout 

 black spine on the fore femur of inusitata, which is not an Eukraio- 

 helea but is typical inermipes; Tokunaga (1962) synonymized it with 

 esakiana Tokunaga.
