Cylindrotoma (?) anomala sp. nov. (Figure 3.) 



Male. Very similar to C. tarsalis in general appearance. The palpi are longer 

 and the antennae much shorter; the joints of the flagellimi are irregular in size and 

 more abruptly tapering. The stripes on the thorax are the same, the collar is 

 shghtly infuscated; the brown spot above the front coxae is present, but the other 

 spots of the pleurae and metanotum are wanting. The abdomen is similar in color 

 but the genitalia are much larger and of an entirely different structure, with promi- 

 nent forceps and appendages. The legs have the same pecuhar coloring of the tarsi 

 but the wings have quite a different venation as shown in the figure. Length, 8 mm.
