St. Vincent — Windward side. Twelve $, twelve ^ spe- 

 cimens. 



47. Motes s'pUiulcns, n. sp. 



9 . Length 13 mm. Stature and form of M. fnlviventrif>, Guerin, 

 and with a l)right goklen jjubescence arranged as in that species, but 

 the abdomen is wholly black, the coxae, trochanters and femora 

 brown-black ; the Avings are ferruginous, with a longitudinal fuscous 

 streak along and near the costa to apex, the apex of front and 

 hind legs subfuscous ; claws in ^ with a median tooth beneath. 



The (^ varies from 5"5 to 7 "5 mm. and agrees well with the 9 > 

 except the tibiaj are darker and the claws are simple. 



St. Vincent (?). Described from one $, No. 192, and 

 two $ specimens, Nos. 28 and 56. None of these specimens 

 are labelled, and I am not quite certain that they were 

 captured in St. Vincent. 



The females of both of these species fall into the genus 

 Motes of Kohl. The males, however, are difficult to dis- 

 tinguish from the males in Zarrcc, and the only character 

 1 can find to separate them from this genus is the meso- 

 sternal suture which is distinct posteriorly for a little more 

 than half the length of the mesosternum.
