42 AMERICAN np:uroptera. 



base, about three times as wide as length of veinlet connecting sub-costa to 

 radius; two radial sectors, not commonly connected, the median is not bent 

 toward cubitus at connecting veinlet, two branches from lower border of cubital 

 cell, four veiulets in outer gradate series, usually disjoined. Expanse 9 to 11 mm. 



Various specimens from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in 



May and July. Sometimes very pale; one specimen from Arizona 



is extremely dark, the membrane being almost entii'ely brown. 



Syinpherobius Hiniculus Fitch. — Face shining brown, vertex brown. 

 Thorax and abdomen brown, legs pale yellowish; antennae black on basal two- 

 fifths, very pale beyond, the limit of dark usually very distinct. Wings hyaline, 

 mottled with small brown patches, rather evenly distributed. Along the inner 

 gradate series are dark brown marks which culminate in a subtriangular mark, 

 reaching to the posterior margin ; longitudinal veins pale, evenly marked with 

 minute brown dots, apical and posterior margin alternately white and brown; 

 hind wings with pale venation. Fore wings riither broad, costal area at base 

 broad, about five times the length of veinlet connecting subcosta and radius; 

 four outer gradate veinlets, usually in twos; two radial sectors, the first usually 

 (Hinnected to second near base of latter ; the median vein is but little bent toward 

 cubitus at connecting veinlet, and this veinlet is much faither out than that con- 

 necting cubitus and aual ; the lower border of cubital cell emits two branches. 

 Expanse 9 to 12 mm. 



Described from central New York and Illinois. I have speci- 

 mens from Sea Clitf, New York; Washington, D. C. and Falls 

 Church, Virginia, in July. I have seen the type in the Museum of 

 (/omparative Zoology at Cambridge, Massachusetts. 



^iyiiiplierobiiis barberi Banks.— Head pale yellowish, antennae pale 

 marked witli black near base and tip as in allied species. Thorax pale, darker 

 on sides; abdomen brownisii ; legs pale yellow. Wings pale, the fore wings 

 finely and evenly irrorate with light brown, except the base is paler, and there 

 ■is a larger patch near middle of hind margin, and one in anal area. The vena- 

 tion is pale, with brown dots, and there are scattered white spots along the outer 

 margin. The hind wings are hyaline, with pale venation, except that around 

 the margins is more brownish. The fore wings are rather long and narrow, and 

 the costal area is broad at base, but four outer gradate veinlets, two radial sec- 

 tors, the first connected to median near base. No outer cross-veinlets in hind 

 wings. Expanse 9 mm. 



Two specimens from Williams, Arizona, July 20th (Barber) ; 

 also East Las Vegas, New Mexico (Cockerel 1). 



MKGAL,0]YIUS Eambr. 

 Wings entire; Ijroad ; the subcosta ends in margin ; the costal 

 area very broad at base, with a recurrent vein ; costal veinlets 

 branched; two series of gradate veinlets; at least five radial sec- 

 tors; all the veins very close together.
