and the otluT mar the iipical end. Uuslrum iirnolics to the st-cond i-oxa-, liglit- 

 gri-i'ii witli dusky tip. I'rolhuraj -Without lateral tulxTcle, wide and short, 

 hairy, dark jfretii with lif;ht<r green transverse strip at apical border, ventral 

 surfaee dusky greiii. Mrsollioraj- Dark green with niusele lobes black, or 

 nearly so, ventral surfaee very dark with green area connecting the coxa-. Meta- 

 Ihorax — Dark green with niusele lobes nearly black. Ahilomfii ~\\'v\\ rounded 

 and Hat, covered with long sjiines, light green with dark dorsal markings - there 

 are three large distinct green areas, one on the middle dorsum at the base and 

 one surrounding each cornicle, with lesser areas as shown in the drawing. Ventral 

 surface light green. Anal plate well rounded or slightly depressed near the 

 middle, dusky or light green. Cornicles — (Figure '238, ,S). Short, base much 

 wider than the mouth, gradually narrowing from base to the tip and smallest at 

 mouth, which is not Hared, covered with fine network of lines, basal half dusky, 

 apical half green to yellowish, length 0.()()5 mm.; width at base 0.075 mm., widtli 

 at mouth O.Oi mm. Legs — Short, stout, hairy, light, with coxte dusky green, 

 femora dark amber brown, tibia; light amber with dark bases and lips, tarsi dark 

 brown. H'ings — Rather long for so small an insect, narrow, hyaline, venation 

 variable, but usually of the normal "Chaitoiihorus" type. Primary — (Figure iJ.Sy, 

 1 to 11). Length 1.75 mm., widtli U.6.S mm. Costal vein wide to stigma, light 

 amber to yellow; subcostal twice as wide as costal and of same color; first dis- 

 eoidal arises near the middle of the subcostal and is usually straight though in 

 many cases it curves with the convex surface .towards the tip of the wing (in 

 one ease this is reversed — right wing of pair 3) ; second and third diseoidals with 

 a tendency to unite at their bases (F'igure '239, (), 7, 10 and 11), though normally 

 they are separated. Second diseoidal curved or straight — when curved, with 

 the convex surface towards wing tip, the base usually midway between the bases 

 of the first and third diseoidals, but a little nearer the latter, tip may show a 

 tendency to fork as shown in 2, 5, (J in Figure sJSy. In one instance (Figure 

 239, ^) there is a strange figure connecting the first and second diseoidals; third 

 diseoidal very abnormal and variable as shown in the drawings. It may be once, 

 twice or thrice forked. In the normal vein (if there be such) the first fork is 

 just inside the middle and the second fork near the middle of the second branch. 

 In not a few wings there are faint but distinct clouded borders along the stiguial 

 and diseoidal veins, darkest along first diseoidal. Stigma short, oblong with 

 blunt tip, margin of the wing is d<-pressed or set in at the apex of the stigma, 

 color dusk)' with basal ni:irgin lighter and hairy. Stigmal vein arising just 

 beyond the middle of the stigma, mostly curved throughout the first half, slightly 

 undulate, long, apical half nearly parallel with the upper branch of the second 

 fork of the third diseoidal. Tips of the veins often clouded. Secondary — Length 

 1.1 mm., width 0.31 mm., normally with two diseoidals, though out of some fifty 

 mounted specimens two wings were found without either diseoidal, and five wings 

 were found with only one diseoidal and that the first one. Subcostal is always 

 present and curved downward under the booklets, reaches to tip of wing which 

 has a dusky spot at its apex. First diseoidal arising from the subcostal just 

 inside its middle, straight, short, does not reach to the wing margin. Second
