This is probably the same as A. ceyx Lw. A. ceyx occurs in 

 Florida and there appears to be no other species which corresponds 

 to the description. 



Anthrax ceyx Lw. (Syn. ? demorgon Walker). 



Anthrax ceyx Lw., Cent., VIII, 30. 



Coquillett redescribed A. ceyx in Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, XIV, 

 p. 181. I give his description below: 



"Front brownish, the crown black tomentose and pilose; face reddish, 

 much produced below, black tomentose and pilose; proboscis projects length 

 of labella or less beyond epistoma ; first joint of antennae reddish, about three 

 times as long as second, second and third joints black, third joint elongate, con- 

 ical at base (fig. 17) ; occiput black, reddish tomentose. Thorax black, reddish 

 tomentose, front end reddish and black pilose, bristles of hind angles reddish 

 and black ; pleura reddish and black pilose ; scutellum reddish, the base black, 

 reddish tomentose, the bristles reddish and black. Abdomen black, the sides 

 sometimes partly reddish, mixed black and reddish tomentose; pile of sides 

 black, that on sides of first and second segments largely reddish, on the others 

 mixed with a few reddish ones, venter reddish, mixed reddish and black 

 pilose. Legs reddish, sometimes partly black, reddish tomentose, front tibiae 

 destitute of bristles ; tarsi black, claws of front tarsi minute. Wings brownish 

 black, the following parts hyaline ; a spot in the apex of marginal cell, a 

 larger spot in apex of first submarginal cell nearly as long as the second 

 submarginal cell, a spot in the center of the second submarginal cell extending 

 nearly the whole length of that cell a streak in apex of first posterior cell, or 

 in the middle of second posterior cell, a spot in the base and another in the 

 apex of the third posterior cell, a spot near the center of the fourth posterior 

 cell and a large spot in apex of discal cell ; veins between these hyaline parts 

 bordered with brown ; a lighter streak in the middle of anal and another in 

 middle of axillary cell ; costal cell brownish ; apical half of first basal cell 

 reddish yellow ; vein between discal and third posterior cell much bowed 

 downward and emitting a stump of a vein which projects into the third pos- 

 terior cell. Length 15 mm. 



N. Carolina, Va., Ga., Fla. Single specimen (Keen)." 

 Loew's description is from the J*. Similar to halcyon Say, but 

 color of body and vestiture darker and more obscure. Legs darker, 

 anterior tarsi narrower and longer, (Va.) The femora and tibiae 

 have black tomentum beneath. 



Anthrax fuliginosa Lw. 



Anthrax fuliginosa Lw., Cent., VIII, 31. 



I have three specimens from Texas which I believe to be the true 

 fuliginosa.
