The species is allied to A. nahua, Sss., from Mexico, but 
differs in coloration. 
Anaplecta fusca, nu. sp. (Plate XVI, fig. 4.) 
2. Minute; fusco-castaneous. Head piceous; pronotum ellip- 
tical, entirely dark castaneous-brown. Tegmina castaneous, with 
ten highly irregular costal veins connected with each other by 
transverse venule, discoidal field with two longitudinal veins, 
reticulated. Wings dark fuscous, five costal veins, radial vein with 
a humeral and a discoidal branch, median vein approximated to the 
radial vein and the very narrow medio-diseal field crossed by two 
transverse venula, an oblique transverse venula runs from the apex 
of the ulnar vein to the median vein and from this two short 
obliquely longitudinal venule are given off, first axillary vein 
quadri-ramose. Apical area more than two-fifths of total wing- 
length, basal margin straight. Cerci golden-yellow, supra-anal 
lamina rounded. 
Total length 4 mm. ; length of tegmina 3°5 mm.

One example (Oxford Museum), 
The venation of the tegmina and wings in this species is 
highly characteristic, and unlike that of any other known 
species. 
Anaplecta varipennis, n. sp. (Plate XVI, figs. 5, 6.) 
2. Closely allied to A. parvipennis, Sss. and Zhnt., but differs in 
the following particulars :—the lateral borders of the pronotum and 
the mediastinal field of the tegmina are opaque white not hyaline, 
the clypeus is testaceous, the discoidal field of the tegmina is 
reticulated, the medio-discal field of the wings is crossed by two 
transverse venula, the sub-genital lamina is deeply cleft and has 
almost a valvular appearance. The tegmina vary in length from 
4-8 mm. to 4 mm., the wings from 6 mm. to 3 mm., in the latter 
case the most notable reduction is that of the apical area which 
ranges in size from two-fifths of the total wing-length to one-sixth. 
Total length 6-2 mm. 
ParAMBA, EcuapDor, 3500 feet (W. F. H. Rosenberg 
coll, May 1897). Five examples (Oxford Museum). 
In spite of the variation in size of the wings, their 
venation remains practically unaltered ; as already noted, 
the most marked range of size is shown by the apical area
