Florida, four at Bradentown and one pair at Anna Maria Key, all 

 in March. Type in the author's collection. 



This is much like P. quadrinotatus Aid., hut does not have the 

 anta-alar spots divided as in that species, and these spots are not 

 as large. 



Paraclius ornatus sp. nov. 



Male: Length 3—3.5 mm.; of wing, the same. Face narrow, 

 silvery-white. Palpi small, yellow, with a black bristle at tip. 

 Proboscis yellow, with a fringe of little yellow hairs on its edge. 

 Front silvery-white, widened above. Antennre wholly black or with 

 the lower edge of the first joint slightly yellowish; third joint 

 small, about as long as wide, scarcely pointed at tip. Arista dorsal, 

 pubescent. Lower orbital cilia yellowish, slender. 



Thorax green with bronze reflections, a little dulled with white 

 pollen; there are no ante-alar black spots. Abdomen green with 

 quite abundant white pollen. Hypopygium small, but little longer 

 than thick, extending forward under the venter, black with green 

 reflections; its outer appendages look like small yellow lamellae 

 (fig. 9) with black bristles, but they seem to be united at base as in 

 the figure; the inner appendages are darker and rather small, they 

 are deeply slit into three parts at tip. 



Coxfe, femora and tibia? yellow. Fore coxfe with black hairs on 

 the inner edge of their anterior surface ; middle and hind coxae each 

 with a long black bristle on outer side, the former darkened on 

 the outside. Hind femora scarcely darker at tip above, their tibiae 

 more distinctly brown at tip. Middle and hind femora each with 

 a slender preapical bristle, the former also has smaller ones Ijelow 

 near the tip. Fore tarsi (Fig. 8) more than one and a half times 

 as long as their tibia?, first two joints yellow with their extreme 

 tips blackish, second slightly longer than the first and very thin, 

 it is about as long as the last three joints taken together; third 

 and fourth joints black, compressed and widened, fringed above 

 with little black hairs; fifth yellow with the base narrowly black. 

 Middle tarsi longer than their tibiae, black from the tip of the first 

 joint. Hind tarsi equal to their tibiae in length, wholly black, still 

 sometimes the first joint is yellowish at base, first joint shorter 

 than the second. Calypters and halteres yellow, the former Avith 

 yellow cilia, which appears nearly black in certain lights.
