minute warts and bristles. Vertex rounded, finely cross striated; no post- 
ocular nor other prominent bristles. Hyes rather small, occupying about 
one-third the length and a little over one-half the width of the head on 
the dorsal surface, slightly produced posteriorly on the ventral surface; 
dark reddish brown. Ocelli dark red; posterior pair situated opposite the 
anterior one-third of the eyes. Mouth cone very full and rounded at the 
base, then sharply contracted to a narrow point which however is rounded 
at the very apex; reaching about three-fourths the distance across the pros- 
ternum. Antennae about 1.6 times as long as the head; intermediate seg- 
ments elongated; bearing very few conspicuous bristles; sense cones short 
but thick, colorless. 
Prothorax little more than half as long as the head and twice as wide as 
long; the posterior angles rounded, bearing each a single heavy bristle with 
dilated tip. 
Metathorax rectangular in outline; the middle of the dorsal surface bear- 
ing conspicuous longitudinal striations; destitute of prominent bristles. 
Legs moderately slender; concolorous with the body, even the tarsi being 
dark brown. Fore femora slightly enlarged, bearing on the lower surface 
an exceedingly long slender bristle. Fore tarsi with a very small incon- 
spicuous tooth. Wings well developed; membrane reaching the base of the 
tube, clear except for a brown area at the extreme base, markedly con- 
stricted in the middle, fringed with long hairs, about 6 (5 to 7) interlo- 
cated ones. 
Abdomen rather stout and short. Terminal segments bearing dark bris-
