13. Goiiatoceriis iiitievius species nova. 



Normal position. 



Female. — Length, 0.85 mm. Moderately large for the genus. 



Allied with and resembling niaximus from which it may be distin- 

 guished by reason of the fact that here the proximal funicle joints are 

 all short, more especially the third funicle joint is shorter than the 

 fourth, the joints gradually enlarging distad ; also the marginal vein 

 of the fore wing is shorter and the posterior wing is almost densely 

 ciliate at the apex discally. The fore wings also are somewhat nar- 

 rower. Otherwise as in niaximus. The tarsi are pallid and the base 

 of the abdomen inclined slightly that way. Discal ciliation of the fore 

 wing fine and dense. Fore wings practically hyaline. Distal two funi- 

 cle joints rectangular, largest, thrice the size of the second funicle 

 joint but not much longer than the preceding joint.
