ENERGOPODA 



legged species but not exceedingly so, and often by no means so. 

 Second posterior cell not pointed at its base (fig. 342). 



Dasypogonin^ (p. 704). 



6 (5) Alula and hind-angle of the wing absent (fig. 344). Claws long; 



pulvilli absent. 



Bristles and pubescence reduced to a minimum. _ Exceedingly 

 lanky species with elongate clavate hind femora and tibiae. Second 

 posterior cell pointed at its base (fig. 344). 



Leptogastrin^. 



ASILIN^.

Leptogastrin^ (p. 748). 

 Wilhston (Kansas Univ. Quarterly, i., 115, 1893) separates these sub- 

 families in the following manner : 



1 (4) Palpi one-jointed. 



2 (3) Marginal cell open. 



3 (2) Marginal cell closed. 



4 (1) Palpi two-jointed. 



5 (6) Marginal cell open. Dasypogonin^. 



6 (5) Marginal cell closed. Laphrin^. 



I do not hke Williston's arrangement as I am unable to test the 

 character drawn from the palpi, and I consider the Dasypogoninm closely 

 allied to the Lcptogastrince. I am not satisfied with my own distinction 

 between these two subfamilies but hope it may prove workable.
