in connection with it. Being remounted in balsam, I now 

 redescribe it and deposit the specimen as type in the collec- 

 tion from which it was obtained. 



The species belongs in that group of the genus having 

 narrow fore wings and coarse discal ciliation and thus is 

 allied with longipes and zetes from both of which it may be 

 distinguished by its broader, less slender fore wings, the 

 longest marginal cilia of which are barely longer than the 

 wing is wide. Compared with longipes its fore wings are 

 broad, but compared with the species like striaticorne and 

 howardii, they are narrow. The wings are also somewhat 

 as in enchenopcB as concerns discal ciliation and general ap- 

 pearance but are noticeably narrower and the ciliation is 

 more coarse. 



Male. — Length, 0.90 mm. Moderately small for the genus. 



General color black, the legs, abdominal petiole, scape and pedicel 

 yellow (subtestaceous), the wings hyaline; distal tarsal joints and 

 venation brown-black. 



Fore wings moderately narrow, with long marginal cilia, the long- 

 est about equal in length to the greatest wing width, the discal cilia- 

 tion coarse and moderately long, arranged in about ten longitudinal 

 lines across the widest portion of the wing blade, the latter shaped 

 like a paddle. Posteror wings linear, the marginal fringes along the 

 caudal margin long, distinctly shorter than the longest cilia of the fore 

 wing but four or five times longer than the width of the blade of the 

 posterior wings. The latter without discal ciliation other than the 

 paired lines along each margin. Proximal tarsal joints long, subequal 

 in length to the combined lengths of the second and third joints. 



Antennae missing, excepting the first six joints of one. Normal for 

 the male. Scape short but longer than the short, obconic pedicel ; 

 funicle joints filiform, distinctly striated longitudinally, the proximal 

 funicle joint a fourth longer than the pedicel, the next three subequal, 

 a fourth longer than the first funicle joint.
