Eriocera macrocera sj) nov. 



Head reddish-yellow; antennse of the cT twice as long as the body; the section of 



Cui beyond the outer end of cell 1st Mi is shorter than the fused portion of Cui and 



A/3. 



cf. Wing, length, 8.3 mm.; breadth at widest point, 2.5 mm. Front, vertex 

 and occiput bright orange-yellow; antenna; very long, brown. 



Thorax ami abdomen, brown. Wings with a slight brownish tinge; stigma darker

 Sc2 near the tip of Sc; the portion of «. between Scj and cross-vein r, delicate, 

 indistinct; Rs strongly arcuated at origin; Rm nearly twice as long as that por- 

 tion of R'. before cross-vein r; the portion of Cui beyond the outer end of cell 1st M. 

 is shorter than the fused portion of Ciu and Ms instead of distinctly longer as in all 

 short-antenna;d for.ms known to me; in other words, cell 1st jVj (discal) is very far 

 out toward the wing margin. 



Holotype, cf, Igarape-a.ssu, Para, Brazil. January 30, 1912. (H. S. Parish.)
