Harpagones very similar to those of the preceding species. Unci 

 shorter and apparently fused and projecting from under the dorsal 

 plate, which latter bears mesally a series of stout spines along its 

 posterior margin. [PL 5, fig. 2] 



Grabhamia Theo. This genus was erected by Theobald,' and in 

 listing the .'pe:ies referred thereto he names first d o r s a 1 i s Meig., 

 and in his ^c:;ount of species gives first place to jamaicensis. 

 Correspondence developed the fact that he considered this latter 

 species the generic type and accordingly we adopted it.^ Dr Dyar^ 

 took d o r s a 1 i s Meig. as the type of Grabhamia and erected a 

 new genus Feltidia with j a m a i c e n s i s as its type. Under the 

 conditions we prefer to accept Theobald's subsequent designation 

 of the type as authoritative and consider Feltidia a synonym of 

 Grabhamia, retaining Culicada Felt as a valid genus. 



Grabhamia jamaicensis Theo. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp 

 segment stout, tapering slightly and with a well defined apical lobe. 

 Terminal segment enormously dilated in the middle and with a 

 short, stout, apical spur. Claspette a rather prominent lobe bear- 

 ing about six stout, broad, chitinous processes and located about 

 the middle on the basal segment. Harpes apparently absent; 

 harpagones* stout, curved, with a prominent retrorse spine and 

 several stout apical teeth. Unci approximate, slightly convolute, 

 with rounded apexes. Setaceous lobes slightly developed, each 

 consisting of a long, dark, chitinous ridge each side of the median 

 line, margined posteriorly with numerous very fine spines. 



Grabhamia discolor Coq. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp seg- 

 ment short, stout, apex rounded and with a slight indication of an 

 apical lobe. Terminal segment enormously dilated in the middle 

 and with a short, stout, apical spur. Claspette a prominent lobe 

 bearing several stout, chitinous processes located just before the 

 middle of the basal clasp segment. Harpes apparently absent; 

 harpagones curved, with a rather prominent, slightly recurved 

 hook and several stout, apical spurs. Unci approximate, taper- 

 ing to a rounded tip. Setaceous lobes of ninth segment similar in 

 character, though less developed, than in G . jamaicensis.

Desvoidea panalectros Theo. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp seg- 

 ment stout, conic, tapering gradually to a rounded apex. Terminal 

 clasp segment stout, arcuate and with a series of stout spines along 

 the inner margin of the apical two thirds. Claspette represented 

 by an inconspicuous basal fold bearing two stout chitinous spines. 

 Harpes apparently represented by a pair of rather stout, broad, 

 flattened processes, tapering gradually to a rounded apex. Harpa- 

 gones short, stout, terminating in an acute, recurved, blunt spine. 

 Unci closely appressed, somewhat curved with both ventral and 

 dorsal margin and apex strongly serrate. Setaceous lobes inde- 

 terminate. [PI. 6, fig. 2]
