4. Paraleptophlebia sticta new species 
This species is most closely related, in 
type of genitalia, to praepedita, but differs 
in that the penis lobes are much shorter and 
thicker, and lack terminal papillae; the de- 
current appendages of the penis lobes also 
are shorter and stouter in sficta than they 
are in praepedita. The two species differ in 
color, as abdominal tergites 2-6 in praepedita 
usually are uniformly brown, but sometimes 
have lighter brown areas on dorsal meson 
and at anterior margins; these tergites in 
sticta are white, faintly tinged with tan, 
and have dark brown, posterolateral mark- 
ings. 
Mave.—Length of body 5 mm., of fore 
wing 6 mm. Head dark chestnut brown, 
antennae yellow-brown, each becoming hya- 
line toward apex of flagellum. Thorax dark 
chestnut-brown; wings hyaline, longitudinal 
veins near costal margin of each fore wing 
tinged with tan, other veins and all cross- 
veins hyaline, stigmatic crossveins not anas- 
tomosed, 9 to 11 in number, slanted; legs 
pale tan, with coxae brown. First abdominal 
segment brown; tergites 2-6 white, with 
faint tan tinge, a dark brown spot near 
posterolateral angle of each tergite and a 
transverse line on posterior margin, a longi- 
tudinal, dark brown line in spiracular region, 
and a dark brown circle at each spiracle; 
posterior two-thirds of tergite 7 and all of 
tergites 8-10 brown of a lighter shade than 
thorax; sternites 2-7 white, tinged with tan, 
unmarked, sternite 8 light tan, with trans- 
verse, brown line at anterior margin; ster- 
nite 9 tan, with dark brown shading at later- 
al and anterior margins; forceps base, fig. 
206, light tan, with deep, median fissure, 
forceps white, faintly tinged with tan, penis 
lobes tan; caudal filaments white, articula- 
tions not darkened.
