Wings light yellow, heavily suffused with brown, including the costal 
area, broad seams to all the veins and cross-veins restricting the 
ground-color to the central portions of the cells; apex of the wings 
broadly seamed with brown. Venation as in fig. 6; forks of Rs and 
\R2 -\- 3 acute; the deflection of R4 + 5 longer than r-ni; r-m and the 
deflection of Mi 4- 2 in a line. 
Abdominal tergites bright orange-red, the first segment black at the

(No. F 3682, Am. Mus. Nat. Hist.) 
This group of the genus will probably be found to include 
many species when the crane-fly fauna of the Antilles is better 
known. It seems to be a case comparable to that found in this 
same genus in Ceylon where there are in the neighborhood of 
a dozen species forming a peculiar group or section. There 
are now foiir species of Eriocera known from the West Indies 
and they may be separated by the following key : 
1. Wings hyaline with the costal margin brown, this color running to 
beyond the wing-apex; (body-coloration light orange-red). (Santo 
Domingo). aetherea, sp. n. 
Wings hyaline or yellowish with brown markings on the wing-disk. 2 
2. Wings with three bands, the first at the wing-root, the second at 
the origin of the radial sector extending across the wing and con- 
necting with the basal band in the anal cells ; wing-apex largely 
dark, the cells R2, R5, Mi and M3 grayish hyaline in their middle 
portions ; thorax yellowish with a grayish blue bloom especially on 
the pleura and coxa; abdomen with blackish bands on the anterior 
margins of the segments, the incisures yellowish. (Porto Rico.) 
trifasciata Roder. 
Wings not trifasciate; thorax orange without grayish blue bloom; 
abdomen without blackish cross-bands. 3 
3 Wings with an interrupted brown pattern that is ocelliform at the 
base of the sector ; thorax orange, unmarked ; legs with the coxae 
orange; femora yellow tipped with dark brown; claws yellow. 
(Porto Rico). ocellifera Alexander. 
Wings light yellow, heavily suffused with brown, this consisting of 
very broad seams to all the veins ; thorax orange with black spots 
on the pleura; legs with the coxae largely blackish; femora dark 
brown with a dull yellow subterminal annulus; claws black. (Santo 
Domingo). domingensiB, sp. n.
