 about once and a half the length of the body, first and second segments reddish 

 yellow, other segments brown ; the third if bent back would reach a little beyond the

 cence ; those beyond the middle with a few scattered fine hairs which become more 

 numerous toward the tip ; thorax brownish yellow ; dorsum with four obscure brown 

 stripes ; a narrow dark line from the collare to the base of the wing ; halteres yellowish

 forceps brownish yellow ; wings with a very faint tinge which in some lights is yel- 

 lowish, in others whitish ; stigma pale ; veins brown ; tij) of auxiliary vein opposite 

 the inner end of the second submarginal cell ; distance of the marginal cross vein 

 from the inner end of the first submarginal cell a little less than the length of the 

 petiole of this cell ; four posterior cells ; posterior cross vein before the middle of the 

 discal cell ; discal cell open in one specimen. Length, male 8 mm.; wing lo mm.

Eriocera aurata, sp. nov. (PI. VIII, fig. 13.)

 yellow, knobs brown ; legs yellowish ; tarsi and the tips of the tibia and the femora 

 brown ; abdomen and genitalia reddish yellow ; wings with a deep yellowish tinge ; 

 stigma brown ; tip of the auxiliary vein opposite the inner end of the first submarginal 

 cell ; the distance between the marginal cross vein and the inner end of the first sub- 

 marginal cell is a little more than the length of the petiole of this cell ; four posterior

 abdomen brown ; forceps of male but little lighter; wings hyaline with two brown 

 spots ; the first is the smallest and is over the origin of the praefurca, the second 

 covers that portion of the wing beyond the inner end of the first submarginal cell and 

 in front of the second submarginal cell except for a small hyaline spot in the outer 

 marginal cell ; the subcostal cross vein, which is a considerable distance in front of 

 the origin of the prasfurca, is nearly bordered with brown ; first submarginal cell 

 longest ; the small cross vein connecting the third and fourth longitudinal veins ; five 

 posterior cells, the second with rather a long petiole ; veins brown. Length, male 9 

 mm. ; wins: n mm.
