Habitat: —'The tertiary shales of Florissant, Colorado, Station 14 (three- 
fourths of a mile southwest of the town), 1908. Collector unknown. ‘Type in the 
University of Colorado. 
The general habitus of this species is much the same as Anoplius (Arachnophroc- 
tonus Ashm.) ferrugineus (Say), but it differs in a number of ways from that species, 
especially in the venation. It has a number of points in common with Salvus fene- 
stratus Sm. (Sylhet) especially in the wrinkled metathorax and position of the tran. 
med. It is more closely allied to Salius florissantensis (CkIl.) than any other described 
fossil Ceropalid but it may be known from that species by the much smaller second 
cubital cell, the absence of a cloud along the basal nervure, the wrinkled metathorax, 
the absence of striz on the postscutellum, and the ferruginous color. 
SALIUS LAMINARUM N. sp. 
2. Length about 15 mm.; length of anterior wing 8.5mm. Robust. Head 
of the usual subtransverse type. Sculpture subtle, metathorax not wrinkled or post- 
scutellum obliquely striated. Scape of the antennae elongate, cylindrical; the rest 
of the antennal joints are not clearly defined in the fossil. Legs long and robust, 
spinose; longer spur of hind tibiae much shorter than basitarsus. Stigma normal; 
radial cell reaching the costa; second cubital on rad. nearly as long as the third; 
first and second tr. cubiti bent basally on the lower part; third tr. cu. curved out- 
wardly; first recur. n. received in the middle of second cubital cell; second recur. n. 
received a little beyond the middle of third; tran. med. considerable distance beyond 
the basal nervure. Abdomen long, somewhat flattened not nearly as conical as in
