A. A. GIRAULT. 275 



This table is based upon an examination of types or else 

 the original specimens of all of the species. The species 

 dolichocerus Ashmead and nigritarsis Ashmead (1887, pp. 

 192-193), were unrecognizable from their descriptions and I 

 very nearly redescribed the former as new from other speci- 

 mens of it before comparing them with the remounted origi- 

 nal specimen. Both of them are very much alike but may 

 be distinguished by means of the characters given in the pre- 

 ceding table of species. From the original specimen of 

 nigritarsis I have taken the following additional descriptive 

 notes, besides designating the specimen as type : 



Brownish black, the legs nearly uniformly pallid lemon yellow, the 

 posterior tibias and the tarsi brown. The fore wings are broad having 

 from twenty-five to thirty-two longitudinal lines of discal cilia and are 

 about two and a half times longer than broad. The marginal vein is 

 yellow, long, but not so long as in dolichocerus and its free distal end 

 is shorter than in the latter species. The posterior wing is slender, 

 not considerably broadened across the apex of its venation, bearing the 

 paired lines of discal ciliation along each margin but with no mid- 

 longitudinal discal ciliation excepting a short line of from three to 

 five cilia at the apex. Its marginal cilia along the posterior margin 

 are longer than the longest marginal cilia of the fore wing ; its blade 

 is distinctly narrower than that of dolichocerus. The antennae have 

 the first and second funicle joints each distinctly shorter than the pedi- 

 cel, taken together longer than it, the third funicle joint subequal in 

 length to the pedicel or slightly shorter, the fourth joint slightly longer; 

 funicle joints 5, 6 and 7 subequal, distinctly longer than 4, the distal 

 funicle joint shorter, subequal to 4. The club is long. Scape broad, 

 its bulb long, taken together as long as the club. Strigil of anterior 

 legs present. 



From 1 female, i?-inch objective, 1-inch optic, Bausch 

 and Lomb. 



The foregoing notes taken from the original specimen 

 found in the collections of the United States National Mu- 

 seum on a tag labelled " Goiiatocerics nigritarsis K^\\xi\. Jack- 

 sonville, Fla." in Ashmead's hand. No number was con- 

 nected with it.
