Phalangiodes, On. 



Forehead ronndecl, somewhat projecting. Ocelli present. Tongue 

 well developed. Antennae as long as fore wings, iu male slender, 

 filiform, simple. Labial palpi rather short, somewhat ascending, 

 with long dense projecting scales beneath, terminal joint concealed. 

 Maxillary j)alj)i very short, rather thick, filiform. Legs very long ; 

 anterior tibiae and three basal joints of tarsi in male clothed with 

 long fine dense hairs, especially on inner side ; middle tibi* in 

 male somewhat expanded in middle, containing a tuft of long fine 

 hairs enclosed in a groove ; posterior tibiae with outer middle-spur 

 one-half, outer end-spur three-fourths of inner. (Abdomen broken). 

 Fore wings with veins 2 and 3 short-stalked from angle, 4 and 5 

 from transverse vein, which is angulated at origin of 4 ; 7 from a 

 point with 8 ; 10 closely approximated to 8, 11 remote, very 

 oblique. Hind wings broader than fore wings ; 2, 3, 4, 5 all 

 tolerably closely approximated at base ; 2 straight, 3 strongly 

 sinuate towards base, so as to enclose with 4 an elongate-oval pos- 

 teriorly acute transparent space ; 4 from angle, 4 and 5 somewhat 

 sinuate towards base ; 7 out of 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 

 to two-fifths, 6 bent beyond origin of 7. 



I have not been able to examine a female, vvhich is 

 without many of the above abnormal peculiarities ; nor 

 the genitalia of the male. Lederer's statement of 

 the neuration is erroneous, as already indicated by 

 Snellen.
