a little weaker at apex ; speculum narrow, reaching two-thirds 

 of the distance to the posterior border of wings and well separ- 

 ated from a cut-off portion which is equally distant from the 

 posterior wing-margin ; bristles on the submarginal vein a little 

 more developed than in terriji, but still weak. Length, 0.9- 

 1.2 mm. 



Lower part of face and cheeks, almost the entire upperparts 

 of the body, and the venter of abdomen dull black, the latter 

 with a small white spot on each side near margin at the base ; 

 frontovertex very pale oehraceous brown, narrowly margined on 

 all four sides and narrowly striped down the middle or at least 

 in the ocellar region Math brownish black ; upper portion of face 

 and cheeks creamy white to flesh tinted, the pale area on face 

 divided into two transverse bands by a blackish band of about 

 the same width which stretches between the lower corners of the 

 eyes ; on the cheeks the pale area barely touches the lower corners 

 of the eyes and is separated from the eye-margin posteriorly by 

 a triangular blackish area continued forward as a narrow line 

 and cutting across the lower corners of the «yes to unite with 

 the black facial band ; occiput pale oehraceous brown ; collar of 

 pronotum narrowly whitish with a blackish dot on each corner ; 

 tegulae pale brownish at the center and on the posterior margin, 

 whitish on the anterior and lateral margins ; underparts of thorax 

 dull broAvnish black with the anterior corners of the mesopleura, 

 and the prepectal plates whitish. Antennae brownish black, 

 with an oval spot on dorsal, apical corner of scape, and the apical 

 half of pedicel, with the last two funicle joints white, the club 

 slightly paler at apex. Legs dull brownish black variegated with 

 white as follows: apical portion of all coxae, the trochanters, 

 the dorsal margin of front femora with apex and a small spot 

 on ventral margin near apex; base and apex of middle and hind 

 femora and a narrow band near apex of each, on the middle pair 

 connecting on lower margin with the apical area; base of all 

 tibiae and two narrow cross bands on each, less distinct on front 

 pair ; all the tarsi except last joint on front and middle pair and 

 last two joints on hind pair, and the tibial spur white. Fore 

 wings conspicuously smoky, due to integumentary pigmentation, 

 gradually becoming clearer toward the apex and the base, with 

 a small clear spot at the apex of the submarginal vein and a 

 more deeply stained area at the juncture of the marginal and 

 stigmal veins ; hind wings hyaline.
