 von anderer Seite nicht ohne Beachtung bleiben." pp. 119-120. 



This description is rather brief, lacks detail and it is more or 

 less doubtful if the species could be again recognized from it, so 

 that I have drawn up another from a female specimen nicely 

 mounted in balsam by Mr. Frederick Enock of London and deter- 

 mined by an English authority; as no other valid specimens of 

 the species exist, so far as I am aware, this description definitely 

 fixes the species ; it will be seen readily that it agrees in general 

 with the original, though drawn up before that description was 

 consulted. 



Redescription of Campioptera papaveris Foerster, female. 



Female. — Length, 0.91 mm.; ininute; visible to naked eye. General color 

 yellowish brown ; legs and basal five joints of antennae paler ; ocelli red ; eyes dark ; 

 vertexal carina present, usual. Fore wings slightly infumated at basal one-third, 

 normal, curved at the apical fourth, with the usual dilatation along the caudal 

 margin near base, the usual dusky yellow margins and with one principal row of 

 discal cilia in the distal half of the wing (excluding the ones along the margin, 

 dorsad), joined by two others on each side, near the cephalic and caudal margins 

 respectively, of the wings, in the apical fourth; proximad of the apical fourth of 

 the wing, these two lines of cilia become lost in the margins ; venation dusky yel- 

 lowish, inconspicuous. Hind wings hyaline, with two main rows of discal cilia, 

 one on each side near the margins, in the distal half of the wing; marginal cilia 

 of hind wings nearly as long as those of the fore wings, and with the usual color- 

 less spot or area near their bases, forming the clear whitish path a short distance 

 beyond the distal end of the wing, and which follows the outline of the wing 

 margin at that point. Petiole apparently acute at its center, lateral aspect 

 (as in pnlla) and with a clear spot at its base, dorsal aspect; posterior tibiae 

 slender, longer than the posterior tarsi; the joints of the tarsi .subequal, the basal 

 joints inclined to be slightly longer. 



Antennae longer than the body; scape convexly curved, about as long as 

 the combined lengths of the pedicel and 1st funicle joint; pedicel conic-ovate, its 

 cephalic margin serrate, thicker than the scape and much more so than the slen- 

 der first three funicle joints, but nearly one-half shorter than the first funicle 

 joint; the latter slender, cylindrical, slightly narrowed in the middle, one-third 

 shorter than funicle 2 and the next to the longest joint of the funicle; funicle 2 

 the longest funicle joint, long and slender, one-third longer than 1, longer than 

 the scape and about equal to or slightly longer than the combined lengths of the 

 next two joints (funicles 3 and 4), .subequal to the club in length, but one-half 

 narrower; funicle joints 1-3 of the same width, narrow and cylindrical; funicle 3 

 a little over half the length of funicle 2 and slightly enlarged at the apex, longer 

 than either of the following joints and also the pedicel ; next three joints (funicles 

 4-6) gradually enlarging to club; funicle 4 cylindrical oval, distinctly wider than 

 3 and one-fourth shorter, subequal in length to 5; the latter slightly wider; fimicle 



a. The footnote to which the asterisks refer is omitted here, having no 

 relevancy. — A. A. G.
