 segment, a discal pair, and two lateral pairs. 

 Abdomen rather broad, ovate, covered with 

 short bristles; first segment black, a little 

 abbreviated, the other segments broadly or 

 almost wholly silvery at base with hind bor- 

 ders and median vitta shining black, second 

 segment more or less broadly reddish on 

 sides (an immature specimen has the ab- 

 domen almost entirely pale reddish); first 

 two segments without macrochaetae, except 

 a lateral marginal one on second segment, 

 but sometimes a median marginal pair also 

 on second segment; third segment with 

 about ten marginal, four to six of which are 

 on upper side; anal segment armed with 



marginal macrochaetae and bristles; venter 

 largely silvery, the segments black poste- 

 riori}'. Legs black, femora and tibiae slightly 

 silvery, femora bristly, middle tibiae with 

 some strong bristles, the hind tibiae ciliate 

 on outer edge with a longer bristle beyond 

 middle and two before tip; claws and pulvilli 

 very long, pulvilli smoky whitish. Wings 

 much longer than abdomen, rather broad, 

 without costal spine, grayish hyaline, hardly 

 brownish on costo-basal portion, third vein 

 slightly spined at base; apical cell open, end- 

 ing distinctly before tip of wing; fourth vein 

 bent in a short curve, without stump or 

 wrinkle, apical cross-vein bowed inward; 

 hind cross-vein more or less curved, much 

 nearer the bow of fourth vein ; tegulae 

 watery-white, halteres fuscous. 



Length 8.5 to 9 mm.; of wing 7.5 to 8 mm. 



Described from four specimens. 

 Kans. This species wouhl belong in 

 Bra tier and v. Bergenstamm's genus 

 Argyrophylax, which is separated from 

 Masicera almost solely on the character 

 of the ciliate hind tibiae.
