the extreme tip yellowish white; extreme base of the tibiae, yellowish white, re- 

 mainder o{ tibiae, brown; tarsus light yellow, the base of the metatarsus rather 

 darker. Middle pair: femora brown, darkest before the tip; tip abruptly whitish 

 yellow; tibiae and tarsi as in fore legs. Posterior pair: coxae brown; femora 

 brown, with a darker subapical band; tip yellowish- white; base of tibia yellow; 

 remainder brown; tarsi, yellowish-white, the terminal segments somewhat darker. 



Abdomen dark brownish-black with long conspicuous hairs. 



Wings: grayish brown throughout; venation: quite similar to P. albitarsis. 

 Will. (Dipt. St. Vincent; P. 296, 297; PI. 10, fig. 71) (Copied in Needham, Crane- 

 flies (23d Rept. St. Ent. N. Y.; PI. 21, fig. 2) and Williston, Manual of N. Am. 

 Dipt. (1908); p. 85, fig. 28). However the longitudinal veins in the distal por- 

 tion of the wing are much longer than there shown, the free portions of Ma and Cu, 

 longer, the basal deflection of Cui beyond the fork of M, not at it, etc. (See fig. 5.) 



This species differs from P. albitarsis Will. (Is. St. Vincent), in 

 the conspicuous annulated antennae, darker color of the thorax 

 and other colorational differences. From the unsatisfactory de- 

 scription of P. fusca, Wied. (Brazil) (Wiedemann, Aussereur- 

 opaische zweifl. Inseckt, Vol. I, p. 58, pi. VI b, figs. 3 and 4) it 

 differs in the color of the antennae and feet, and, if the drawing is 

 accurate, in venation. P. obscura, Macq. is similar to fusca and 

 considered a synonym by Kertesz. P. hirticornis, Fabr. (S. 

 Amefica) has white bands on the wings. 



The genus is new to the Nearctic fauna, having been recorded, 

 hitherto, only from South America and the Lesser Antilles. 



Holotype: male, St. Simon's Is., Ga., April-May, 1911. Coll. 

 J. C. Bradley. 



Para-types: 2 males, with the holotype. 



Ormosia apicalis sp. nov.

 hohc specimen. 



Rostrum and palpi brown; front, vertex and occiput, yellowish-brown; anten- 

 nae: 1st segment of the antennae, elongate, cylindrical; second globular; 3d to 8th 

 oval, generally similar to one another in shape; remainder elongated, the segments 

 covered with a short pubescence, and long, scattered hairs; antennae, pale yellowish- 

 white. 



Thorax: Pronotum grayish- white. Mesonotiun: praescutum yellow with two 

 indistinct brown lines running forwards from the ends of the arms of the V-shaped 

 suture; these lines with numerous black hairs which meet in front of the suture; 

 an indistinct brown median line; scutum yellow with a row of hairs on either side 

 leading from the ends of the V-shaped suture toward the wing-roots; scutellum 

 whitish-yellow, thickly set with dark hairs; postnotum very pale, almost white.
