truncate in front, vertex broad, slightly convex, antennae rather short and 

 slender, third joint nearly twice as long as first, much shorter than vertex 

 width ; anterior ocellus more than two diameters from the laterals. Pronotum 

 long, posterior margin barely arcuate, almost transverse ; metathorax moder- 

 ately long, evenly convex, not widened behind ; abdomen subovate, but little 

 longer than thorax, base very broad. Legs rather stout, very spiny, anterior 

 tarsi ciliate, each curved spine more than twice as long as the width of the 

 joint; longer spur of hind tibia three fourths length of metatarsus, last joint 

 of hind tarsi with minute spines beneath ; tibia I with distinct bristles above ; 

 claws with rather large subbasal tooth. Wings black, broadly deeper on apex ; 

 second and third submarginals subequal, both narrowed above, both recurrent 

 veins ending beyond middle of cells, second recurrent arising before middle 

 of anal cell, extending obliquely and rather sinuously to the third submarginal ; 

 veins do not reach apical margin. Length, 7 mm.

Resembles P. subz'iolaceus, but the cilia of anterior tarsi are very 

 much longer. 



Psammochares marginalis, new species. 



Female. — Near P. marginatus, but larger, darker and red of the abdomen 

 more extensive, and basal veins interstitial in front as well as hind wings 

 (in P. marginatus dislocated more or less in front wings). Black ; clypeus 

 faintly rounded in front, vertex not as narrow as P. marginatus, slightly 

 rounded; a distinct line from antennae to ocelli; third joint of antennae not 

 nearly. as long as width of vertex; pronotum angulate behind; metathorax 

 short, rounded, with median line ; third abdominal segment mostly reddish, 

 last dull, punctate, hairy ; legs black, anterior tarsi ciliate ; longer spur of 

 hind tibiae two thirds as long as metatarsus ; all legs strongly spined. Wings 

 black ; marginal cell rather short and broad, acute at tip ; second submarginal 

 trapezoidal, barely longer than broad, receiving first recurrent near tip ; third 

 submarginal triangular, but not petiolate, nearly as long as second, second 

 recurrent vein arising from middle of anal cell, slightly bowed outward above 

 middle, meeting third submarginal beyond middle. 



Male. — Similar, but with a little silvery pile on face. Length, 13 mm. 



From Southern Pines, N. C. (Manee). 



Psammochares minusculus, new species. 



Female. — Black, with silvery pubescence. Clypeus slightly truncate ; an- 

 tennae short, stout, third joint barely longer than the first; a line from antennae 

 to ocelli ; anterior ocellus scarcely two diameters from the laterals ; vertex 

 broad, only slightly convex ; pronotum not very long, arcuate ; metathorax 

 short and broad, rounded, with median groove ; abdomen suboval, broad at 

 base, legs with moderate spines ; anterior tarsi ciliate, the spines longer than 

 width of a joint, longer spur of hind tibiae two thirds length of the metatarsus ; 

 wings dusky, darker at tip, marginal cell short, acute ; second submarginal
