wings lightly, uniformly, fumated throughout, the posterior wings 

 hyaline. Eyes dark red. Distal tarsal joint not darker than the 

 rest of the tarsus. Fore and posterior wings densely, uniformly 

 ciliate in the disk, the marginal cilia of the fore wings short, 

 those of the posterior wings nearly twice longer yet the longest 

 here (middle of caudal margin) are not longer than a fourth of the 

 blade's greatest width (across apex of the venation); they are 

 moderately short. The fore wings are about two and a quarter 

 times longer than wdde. Stigmal vein distinct; postmarginal vein 

 absent; other veins normal. The posterior wings bear about 

 twelve lines of discal ciliation across its widest part. Two dis- 

 tinct parallel lines of discal cilia in the fore wing run along the 

 caudal margin opposite the venation, while beneath the slender 

 portion of the submarginal vein are two short lines of minute 

 ciUa, one on each side of the base of the cephalic of the two long 

 lines just noted. Posterior wings broad. Distal joint of tarsi 

 longest of the four. Parapsidal furrows complete, long; the 

 keystone-shaped (cuneate) mesoscutum starred with minute white 

 setigerous dots, also present on the parapsides but absent else- 

 where. Scutellum regularly rectangular, longer than wide. Ab- 

 domen sessile, ovipositor not exserted, long. Abdomen ovate, 

 clothed with paired rows of minute setae. Antennae 9-jointed 

 scape, pedicel, 1 ring-joint, 3-jointed funicle and 3-jointed club; 

 subclavate. Scape normal, slightly compressed, only moderate in 

 length; pedicel obconic, somewhat longer than any of the following 

 joints; ring-joint very short, like a lamella; funicle joints 2 and 

 3 subequal, slightly wider than long, 1 subquadrate, slightly 

 longer than wide; club cylindrical-ovate, its proximal two joints 

 slightly wider than long, each larger than any of the funicle 

 joints, more than thrice the size of the small apical joint which is 

 conical and terminates in a stout, spur-like seta arising from its 

 center. Funicle and club joints bearing, as seen from any single 

 aspect, several conspicuous, oblique white sulci. Vertex sparsely 

 pubescent. 



Male: — Length 1.25 mm.; somewhat more robust than the 

 other sex. Entirely different in color and in certain structures. 

 General color light honey yellow, contrasting with the female; 

 only the dorsal aspect of the abdomen, the femora, the distal 

 tarsal joint and the antennal scape darker, nearly fuscous, the
