II. Fore wings densely ciliate, the discal cilia extending uniformly 

 proximad beneath the venation and limited there by a dis- 

 tinct oblique line of cilia which runs caudo-distad from a 

 point near the base of the marginal vein ; funicle joints of 

 antennae longer, cylindrical to cylindrical ovate, joints 2 and 

 3 longest, as long as or longer than the pedicel, the joints 

 not successively enlarging distad. Species usually wholly 

 black, the fore and posterior wings usually fumated. 



1. Fore wings slender and curved, the marginal cilia distinctly 



longer than their width (nearly twice longer), the discal 

 cilia arranged only in about six or seven lines. 

 Wholly black ; fore wings fumated with the exception of a 

 rectangular clear area under the marginal vein proximad ; 

 funicle joints 2 and 3 subequal, slender, about as long as the 

 pedicel or somewhat longer sinipeimis Girault. 



2. Fore wings broader, not curved, the marginal cilia not any 



longer than the greatest wing width, the discal cilia ar- 

 ranged in more than six or seven lines. 

 Fourth funicle joint of antennae not much longer than wide, 

 not much more than a half as long as the third. 

 Proximal tarsal joints short; third funicle joint cylindrical- 

 ovate, longest; black, legs and antennae dusky yellowish. 



pallipes Ashmead. 

 Fourth funicle joint of antennae twice longer than wide, at 

 least two-thirds the length of the third or subequal to it. 

 Third funicle joint cylindrical, longest, a fourth longer than 

 the fourth joint ; blade of the fore wing mostly hyaline, 

 the cilia fine. Posterior wings hyaline, without a distinct 

 row of white dots along the caudal margin. ..iole Girault. 

 Third funicle joint cylindrical but scarcely longer than any 

 of the following funicle joints ; fore wings clouded 

 throughout, the discal ciliation more distinct ; posterior 

 wing fumated, with a distinct row of white dots along 

 the caudal margin. 

 Fore wing with the marginal vein shorter than the naked 

 area distad of it ; fore wings with 12 lines of cilia. 



iiigrellu.s Girault. 



Fore wing with the marginal vein longer than the naked 



area distad of it; fore wings with about 15 lines of cilia.
