having in the female an additional antennal joint, the club being 

 divided obliquely : the males are similar to the males of Anaphes. It 

 need not be confused with either Anagrus Haliday or Paranagrus 

 Perkins if attention is given to venation and antennal characters, the 

 antennre of both genera being 9-jointed in the female, 13-jointed in 

 the male and in the female of Paranagrus the proximal funicle joint 

 is noticeably lengthened so as to be nearly equal to the others, not 

 distinctlv, abruptly shorter than the second funicle joint as in the 

 other genera mentioned. The type species is described in following: 



Anaphoidea sordidata, new species. 



Female. — Length, 0.85 mm., average. Moderately large. Visible to 

 naked eye. 



Body uniformly deep shining black with some purplish, the abdomen with 

 some brownish, the eyes and ocelli dark garnet, not much lighter than the 

 body, the antennae dusky black, excepting the scape and pedicel which are 

 pallid yellowish, darker dorsad and ventrad, the funicle and club showing a 

 light close, grayish pubescence. Coxse concolorous with the body ; trochanters 

 pallid ; the remaining portions of the legs neutral yellowish but the femora 

 and lateral aspect of the posterior tibiae are distinctly darker to dusky : distal 

 tarsal joint dusky black. Venter concolorous. 



Face delicately irregularly longitudinally lined with fine close strize, as 

 are also the cheeks, the striations on the vertex more regular, transverse, 

 uniform ; the thoracic nota similarly lined, longitudinally so, more regular and 

 uniform on the long mesoscutellum ; eyes comparatively coarse, bearing a few 

 minute hairs. The lateral ocelli about their own width from the respective 

 eye margins and separated from the latter by portions of a narrow sulcus ; 

 lateral ocelli nearly twice farther apart from each other than each is from 

 the cephalic ocellus and twice the distance from the latter than each is from 

 the respective eye margin ; lateral ocelli about three-fourths their own width 

 from the caudal margin of the vertex. Abdomen with polygonal sculpturing. 

 Legs hairy ; body sparsely so. 



Fore wings moderately closely ciliate in the disk (about from 12 to 15 

 rows across the widest part), the discal cilia moderately long and coarse, 

 but not a third as coarse as the marginal cilia, absent directly laterad of the 

 distal end of the marginal vein for over the latter's length and also directly 

 caudad and proximad of the marginal vein, excepting for a single row along 

 side of the caudal edge of the marginal vein, running distad to the ciliated 

 area and another row running obliquely (caudo-distad) across the center of 

 the naked area caudad of the marginal vein, from the latter, including between 

 it and the other row of cilia a V-shaped naked area whose apex points prox- 

 imad. In this proximal, nearly naked area is also borne a single, distinct, 

 isolated cilium about in its center but nearer the caudal wing margin. Marginal 

 cilia of the fore wing moderate in length, extending completely around the
