The apical segment of the palpi is not flattened as in the 

 other two species here listed and is also shorter, being scarcely 

 longer than the apical width.

This species is very closely allied to the Platydactylus fasci- 

 atus of Scudder which has been referred to the genus Bneoptera 

 but which really belongs to Aphonomorphus. In the female 

 type of fasciatus, however, the median ocellus is more than 

 one-half as large as the others and is separated from them by 

 a distance about equal to one-half its own width, while in 

 miiUis, as here determined, the median ocellus is about one- 

 half as large as the others and separated from them by a dis- 

 tance equal to about its own width. The wings of mutus are 

 slightly less caudate than in fasciatus, in mutus exceeding the 

 tegmina by about 4 mm., while in fasciatus they exceed them 

 l)y about 5 mm.
