REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I904 479 



long, rather slender, apical spine. Claspette a conspicuous basal lobe 

 bearing a very large, stout spine with a recurved tip. Harpes, basal 

 portion setaceous, proximal strongly angulate; apical part smooth, 

 simple, bearing a broad, bladelike structure with an acute, recurved 

 tip. Harpagones stout, curved apically, and with a strong, recurved 

 apical tooth and one or two smaller, subapical teeth. Unci broad at 

 base, contiguous; apical margin oblique, terminating in an acute 

 tooth. Setaceous lobes distant, bearing about five or six stout, 

 chitinous spines. [PI. lo, fig. 2] 



Culicada abserratus Felt & Young. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp 

 segment stout, rather long, slightly expanded apically and with 

 four or five very long, stout, subapical setae and numerous smaller 

 ones. Terminal clasp segment rather long, strongly curved at apical 

 third and bearing a long, slender, apical spine. Claspette represented 

 by a conspicuous subquadrangular basal lobe tipped with numerous 

 long setae and a conspicuous subapical lobe, the latter clothed with 

 short setae. Harpes with a long, slender, simple, hairy basal seg- 

 ment, the apical portion smooth, bladelike, considerably expanded 

 near its base and tapering to a rounded point. Harpagones short, 

 strongly curved, ending in an acute, nearly recurved, chitinous spine. 

 Unci slender, approximate, rounding posteriorly to acute, some- 

 what distant tips. Setaceous lobes very long, bearing four or five 

 stout, acute, chitinous spines, one or two markedly stouter than 

 their fellows. [PI. 11, fig. i] 



Female. Lobes nearly five times as long as broad, tapering or 

 curving gradually from near the base to the somewhat acute apex 

 bearing a number of stout setae. Ventral plate nearly as wide as a 

 lobe, extending to the basal third and slightly emarginate apically. 



Culicada dupreei Coq. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp segment 

 rather stout, tapering slightly to a rounded apex. Terminal seg- 

 ment rather stout, slightly swollen at basal third and with a long, 

 slender, apical spine. Claspette represented by a basal, setaceous 

 elevation bearing several very long spines. Harpes with basal 

 portion strongly curved and coarsely setose, specially apically; 

 terminal portion subapical, simple and bearing a slightly curved, 

 falcate structure. Harpagones stout, curved, with a strong, re- 

 curved apical tooth. Unci rather broad, approximate, with rounded 

 distal margin. Setaceous lobes well separated, moderate in size and 

 with two or three conspicuous spines. [PI. 1 1 , fig. 2] 



Ecculex sylvestris Theo. Genitalia, male. Basal clasp segment 

 broad, proximal slender, slightly rounded distally. Terminal seg- 

 ment rather stout, slightly expanded, and on account of the rather 

 stout, subapical spine, furcate distally. Claspette apparently un- 

 represented. Harpe a strap-shaped, setaceous process with numer- 

 ous long, apical setae. Harpagones flattened, curved, with a slightly 

 recurved, stout, apical spine. Unci approximate, slender, strongly 

 curved, divided apically and ending in three or four Stout, recurved 

 spines. Setaceous lobes rudimentary, bearing a few medium setae. 



Culicella dyari Coq. Genitalia, m,ale. Basal clasp segment stout, 

 tapering to a rather narrow, rotinded apex. Terminal segment stout.
