and with four long, pale hairs. Wings clear hyaline, veins yellowish, the 

 outer half of the fourth and fifth veins darkest, costa provided with 

 long, isolated hairs only on the basal half; in outline the wings are 

 narrow, especially on the proximal portion, the anal angle almost 

 entirely reduced; third section of the costa slightly longer than the 

 second, and two and one-half times as long as the fourth section, third 

 vein lightly sinuose, diverging from the fourth and with an anterior 

 curve at its very apex, the submarginal cell beyond the second vein as 

 wide as the first posterior, the anterior cross-vein short, located at 

 three-fifths the length of the second basal cell, last two sections of the 

 fourth vein proportioned 1 : 5, of the fifth vein, 5:3; marginal hairs

Ctenodrapetis cuneipennis, sp. no v.

 nearly bare, the vertical and ocellar bristles rather short, front narrow, 

 its sides parallel, eyes contiguous below the antennae; antennae yellow- 

 ish, without bristles beneath, the third joint slightly darker, bluntly 

 lanceolate and densely short-pubescent, two and one-half times as long 

 as wide, the terminal arista one and one-half times the antennal length, 

 bushy with dense black pubescence so as to appear nearly as thick as 

 the antenna itself. Palpi white; proboscis yellow. Thorax flavous, 

 including the scutellum, metanotum and pleurae, but with a brown spot

 two pale hairs. Legs slender, pale yellow, the hind tibiae with small 

 apical spur and with two extensor bristles near the middle. Wings 

 slender, hyaline, the veins pale, the anal angle very greatly reduced, the 

 third section of the costa twice as long as either the second or the 

 fourth, the third vein lightly sinuous and diverging from the fourth so 

 that the submarginal cell is not nearly so broad as the first posterior, 

 anterior cross-vein short, located before the middle of the second basal 

 cell, the last two sections of the fourth vein proportioned about 1:3, 

 of the fifth vein, 5:3, marginal hairs long.
