Dsc, 1910] GiRAULT : On the Family Mymarid.«. 247 



1. Second funicle joint of antennae long, distinctly longer, but not 



very much more so, than the third funicle joint and the longest 

 funicle joint, distinctly 4 times the length of the proximal funicle 

 joint ; funicle joints long, columnar, increasing very gradually 

 in width distad. Posterior wings with a single central row of 

 discal cilia* which consists of from 7 to 15 cilia along the distal 

 half of the wing. Fumation of wings distinct. Second funicle 

 join distinctly longer than joint 6 of the funicle and but slightly 

 more slender. Large sordidata Girault. 



2. Second funicle joint of antennre but moderately long, distinctly 



shorter, but not very much more so, than the third funicle joint 

 or equal to it but slenderer, the third joint very slightly the 

 longest and widest funicle joint but distinctly wider than funicle 

 joint 2 ; second funicle joint but 3 times the length of the prox- 

 imal funicle joint. Second funicle joint subequal in length to 

 funicle joint 6, but much more slender. Moderate in size. 

 Funicle joints shorter, cylindrical ovate, increasing noticeably 

 in width at the third joint, thence gradually distad. Posterior 

 wings with no central line of discal cilia, sometimes with i or 2 

 cilia at apex, at the most with a line of 4 cilia at the apex. 



Fumation of wings lightest conotracheli Girault. 



II. Legs nearly uniformly neutral or dusky or ashy greyish in color, the 

 shading of colors not distinct. Wings narrower, with but from 6 

 to 9 longitudinal rows of discal cilia at their widest blade portion. 

 I. Second funicle joint of antennae but moderately long, distinctly 

 shorter, but not very much more so, than the third funicle 

 joint or equal to it but slenderer, the third funicle joint very 

 slightly the longest and widest funicle joint; second funicle 

 joint but 3 times the length of the proximal funicle joint. 

 Funicle joints shorter, cylindrical ovate, noticeably increasing in 

 width at the third joint, then gradually distad. Posterior wings 

 with a very short central line of discal cilia at the apex, con- 

 sisting of from 2 to 4 cilia, widely separated. Fumation of wings 

 distinct. Second funicle joint subequal in length to funicle 

 joint 6, but much more slender and somewhat shorter, moderate 

 in size pnllicrura new species. 



The male sordidata may be separated from the male of conotracheli 

 by means of antennal characters, the funicle joints of sordidata be- 

 ing relatively longer, about 3 times longer than wide, cylindrical to 



* The posterior wings in this genus have a row of discal cilia along the 

 cephalic wing margin and a similar paired or double row along the caudal 

 wing margin, all of them arising from between the bases of the marginal cilia 

 or nearly. The row referred to in the table is in the central longitudinal line 

 of the wing blade, at or distad of the apical half.
