“Allotype, winged female, Staten Island, N. Y., August 19, 1905. 
“Apterous male: Fusiform, pronotum tumid, divided by distinct 
sutures into three segments; mesonotum with a deep suture behind 
middle, directed anteriorly at each end; genital segment prominent; 
abdominal segments subequal. Velvety gray black in color. 
“Long., 1.9 mm.; lat., .7 mm. 
“Morphotype: Apterous male, from Staten Island, same date. 
“Apterous female: Orbiculate, genital segment truncate; gray and j 
black coloring, much more marked and definite than in male. 
“Long., 1.6 mm.; lat., 1.1 mm. at widest part. | 
“Morphoparatype: Apterous female, Staten Island, N. Y., June 3, 
1905. Nine other paratypes of both sexes and forms from Westfield, 
N. J., Yaphank, L. I., and Staten Island. 
“Tn all the underside of the head, pro- and mesosternum are yellowish, 
as well as the coxe, trochanters and greater part of femora.” 
Localities: _New York, New Jersey, Kansas, Maine and Massa- 
chusetts. 
Microvelia albonotata Champ. 1898.

“Winged form. Male moderately elongate, narrow; black, a narrow 
transverse line in front of the pronotum, and also the lateral margins 
beneath, the rostrum, trochanters, and coxe, and the connexival margins, 
flavous; the head with two posteriorly coalescent stripes between the 
eyes, and the pronotum with an evanescent median line anteriorly, rufo- 
fulvous; the elytra brown, with two long oblique streaks extending from 
the base downwards, a long streak beyond these, a rounded spot near 
the cost beyond the middle, and an oval spot at the apex, silvery-white; 
the antenne brown, paler at the base; the legs brownish, with the femora 
indeterminately flavous at the base; the body very finely and sparsely 
pubescent, the costal margins of the elytra ciliate towards the base, the 
under surface with a bluish-gray pruinosity; the antenne and legs pubes- 
cent, the antennez also with some longer hairs. Antenne very slender, 
not nearly so long as the body, joint 1 rather more than one-half longer 
than 2, 2 short, 3 about twice as long as 2, very slender, 4 much longer 
than 3. Pronotum rounded at the apex behind, with indications of a 
faint mediam ridge. Elytra with rather feeble nervures. Legs very 
slender, moderately long. 
“Length, 2144 mm.; breadth, % mm.” 
Bueno, in his Veliinez of Atlantic States, adds: 
“Apterous form: Connexivum strongly reflexed, with brown patch on 
each segment; dorsum black, except three last abdominal segments, which 
are broadly greenish, the last entirely so. Genital segment large, promi- 
nent. Thorax tumid, mesothorax rounded behind; metathorax straight, 
form narrow, abdomen subparallel. Male, Morphotype, male, Fort Lee 
District, N. J., October 10, 1903. 
“Apterous female: Differs from the male in having the abdomen pos- 
teriorly roundedly truncate; form obovate. The specimen in question 
has the dorsum nearly entirely a deep velvety black; another specimen 
shows but little black. Morphoparatypes, 2 females, Fort Lee District, 
N. J., October 10, 1903; Fly Creek, N. Y., August 29, 1906. 
“In this species, as in the other, the most obvious character is in the 
long, thin antennez. It cannot be mistaken for any other species, being 
the largest of our eastern forms, except americana, from which its slim 
body, long thin antenne and white-spangled hemelytra at once distinguish © 
it. The apterous are more glabrous and much less velvety in appearance 
than the winged.” 
Localities: New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida and Illinois.
