134 A. Arsöne Girault: 



This is the only species of Anthemus. I have been loaned the 

 types of the species by Doctor Howard and fill in here a number of 

 supplementary descriptive detailes: 



j, E e m a 1 e: — The antennae are as described but a peculiarity of 

 them should be pointed out; they are compact, the club for instance 

 fitted closely to the last funicle Joint, the funicle clavate, the flagellum 

 clavate, enlarging unifonnly from the third funicle Joint, noticeably 

 at the fourth funicle Joint, the joints, however, all somewhat longer 

 than wide. Scape cylindrical, slightly convexed; pedicel obconic, 

 distinctly much longer than any of the funicle joints; last funicle 

 Joint scarcely longer than the first. Mesophragma long, conic, reaching 

 to the middle of the abdomen. Legs normal, not long and slender 

 nor especially short; the four tarsal joints all short, the proximal 

 Joint longest, somewhat shorter in the cephalic legs than elsewhere; 

 tibial spurs single, short, the cephalic ones longer, curved and free, 

 forming the usual strigil. Mandibles apparently broad, with five or 

 six minute teeth. In the original description the fore wings are stated 

 to be ,,as with Anagyrus^\ evidently a misprint for Anagrus; they 

 resemble fore wings in the latter genus but they are peculiar in that 

 their margins are not well-defined and the discal ciliation is uniform 

 to the edges of the blade. They are broadest across the venation at 

 the caudal dilatation which is rather prominent and long, the blade 

 from thence uniform in width, straight and rather narrow, bearing 

 only about from seven to nine longitudinal lines of discal ciliation 

 and at apex obtusely rounded from the caudal edge, the cephalic edge 

 remainin.g straight; the discal ciliation is conspicuous, uniform, m.ode- 

 rately dense, not short, moderate in length and extending proximad 

 under the venation. The venation is usual, not conspicuous, the 

 marginal vein, however, short, only about twice longer than wide. 

 Marginal cilia of fore wings very long, especially caudo-distad where 

 they are at least three and a half times longer than the width of the 

 distal portion of the blade, distinctly longer than the longest marginal 

 cilia of the posterior wing. Proximal portion of fore wing from base 

 to apex of caudal dilatation triangulär, the caudal dilatation then by 

 an obtuse, short curve, ending in the main part of the caudal wing 

 margin; fore wing fumated out as far as the end of the venation. 

 Posterior wings rather short, ending in an obtuse point, conic- 

 cylindrical, moderate in width, not very narrow or slender, apparently 

 naked or without discal ciliation with the exception of a distinct short 

 line of about seven, somewhat irregularly placed, cilia proximad just 

 distad from the venation and a single line of inconspicuous cilia along 

 the caudal margin beneath the venation; marginal cilia of posterior 

 wing long and slender. Mesoscutum wider than long. Lateral ocelli 

 not touching the eye margins.. Color as described but the antennae 

 (excepting club) and the legs (excepting caudal femora and proximal 

 portions of other femora) yellow, both often pallid yellowish; the 

 exceptions are concolorous with the body as is also the venation. 

 Mandibles fuscous. The male club bears at least two whorls of the
