the body, the funicle joints all cylindrical and long, none of them very unequal. 

 Scape short, its ventral margin convex, its dorsal margin straight, subequal 

 in length to the club joint, slightly longer than the first funicle joint; pedicel 

 obconic, short and moderately stout, its truncate apex with serrulate margins, 

 nearly as wide as the scape, the scape and the pedicel being the widest antennal 

 joints, being about twice wider than the width of the flagellum ; pedicel the 

 shortest antennal joint, slightly more than half the length of the proximal 

 funicle joint but longer than wide ; the following joints all slender, 

 much longer than wide ; proximal funicle joint the shortest joint of 

 the funicle, slightly shorter than the club joint, nearly *wice the length 

 of the pedicel, a third shorter than the next joint ; following funicle joints 

 all subequal in length, the second and third funicle joints tending to be 

 equal and longest, the fourth slightly shorter and the fifth, sixth and seventh 

 equal and still slightly shorter and the club joint equal to them or slightly 

 shorter ; it is at least as long as four times its own width and but very 

 slightly conical distad, not differing very much from the preceding joint. 

 Funicle and club with a few longitudinal grooves (high power), the corners of 

 the distal ends of the funicle joints ending in acute spine-like processes. 

 Pubescence fine and close, short, increasing distad but not dense. 



Caudal wings and the fore wings with the usual row of discal cilia around 

 their margins, originating between the insertions of the marginal fringes. An- 

 terior tibial spur forked. 



From four specimens, |-inch objective, i-inch optic, Bausch and Lomb. 



The foregoing descriptive notes were made from a series of 

 eighteen specimens captured at Centralia, 111., on the panes of a 

 small window in an imused pig-shed on a farm ; all were captured 

 at the same spot on these dates, 1909: August 25 (4 5's)> 26 (2 J^'s, 

 3 $'s), 27 (I $). 30 (I 2) ; September i (i ?>, 2 (2 5's) 4 (i ^) 

 and 6 (i (j*, 2 5's). 



I have since captured the following specimens : One female by 

 sweeping, Urbana, 111., July i, 19 10, and in the same locality on 

 greenhouse windows also on the same date, one male and six females ; 

 some of these females were twice the size of the others and while the 

 former were easily seen with the unaided eye, the latter were barely 

 visible. 



2. Camptoptera metotarsa Girault. 



As shown later this species becomes the type of the new genus 

 Macrocamptoptera Girault. 



The genus Camptoptera has now three valid species — papaveris 

 Foerster, clavata Provancher and puUa Girault. Of these the second 

 is unrecognizable, its description too general.
