Venezuela. 



This genus also iucludes Sigara fuscata, Stal, and the five South- 

 American species of Sigara described by Buchanan White. The 

 Venezuelan insect is smaller than any of the other known species, 

 and well distinguished also by other characters. The genus Micro- 

 necta {Sigara auct.) has not yet been found in America, but will 

 possibly be met with in British Columbia, as it occurs in Eastern 

 Siberia. Dr. Horvath, who will shortly publish a Monograph of the 

 Micronectce, is also of the opinion that the American species of Sigara 

 must be referred to a separate genus.
