7. Polynema coiisobrinus species nova. 



Normal position. 



Female. — Length, 0.75 mm. Moderate in size for the genus. 



A species related to enchenopce Girault and easily confused with it 

 but differing as follows : Priinarialy in having finer discal ciliation 

 in the fore wing ; in this species the discal cilia are arranged in about 

 fifteen lines across the widest blade portion, in enchenopcr in only 

 about twelve lines ; but this difference does not distinguish the two 

 enough — the quality of the discal ciliation is different ; thus in enche- 

 nopcE the individual cilia are twice if not thrice the size of those in this 

 species. Differing also in having the fourth and fifth funicle joints of 

 the antennas subequal, whereas in ejichenopce , the fourth is smaller 

 than the fifth. The proximal tarsal joints of the caudal legs are also 

 relatively shorter in this species. Otherwise, the two species are in- 

 distinguishable. The line of foveae across the apex of the scutellum 

 is present.
