370 Professor Williston on the 



on the second and third segments. The front is 

 broad, with a black stripe. The wings show a noticeable 

 difference in that the posterior cross-vein is at right- 

 angles to the fourth vein, and is a little shorter than the 

 penultimate section of the fourth vein. In the males 

 described above the anterior angle of the discal cell is 

 distinctly less than a right angle, and the posterior 

 cross-vein is longer than the penultimate section of the 

 fourth vein. The epistoma is but Httle prominent in 

 either sex.
