half of cell J/, passing across cell Cu where it occupies 

 nearly half the length of the cell, reaching the wing-margin 

 at the end of vein 2nd A ; large brown clouds along the 

 wing-margin at the ends of the veins ; 2nd Anal cell brown 

 excepting the basal third ; veins dark brown. Venation : 

 lis almost square at origin ; basal deflection of B i+5 about 

 one-half longer than r-m ; inner end of the long cell 1*/ M 2 

 pointed ; r-m and the basal deflection of Cu x inserted beyond 

 mid-length of cell 1st M 2 ; petiole of cell M x about as long 

 as this cell. 



Abdomen reddish brown, the apex broken, so that the sex 

 and length are uncertain.

Clydonodozus breviceltulus, sp. n. 



Resembles C. neavei, but the wing-pattern is less ex- 

 tensive, the band along the cord narrow and not suffusing 

 eell 1st M 2 ; mesonotal prsescutum with reddish stripes; 

 legs dark brownish black with only the femoral bases paler. 



Male. — Length about 115 mm. ; wing 11*1 mm. 



Iiostrum reddish brown ; palpi darker brown. Antennae 

 Avith the elongate basal segment of the scape dark brown, 

 a little paler basally ; second segment dark brown ; fiagellum 

 small, the verticils of moderate length ; basal two or three 

 flagellar segments united into a fusion-segment as in the 

 genus. Head dark brown, the front and anterior part of 

 vertex golden-pollinose. 



Mesonotal prsescutum reddish brown with a shiny reddish

 Halteres pale brown. Legs with the coxee and trochanters

 femora paler basally. Wings with aa strong, dull yellow 

 tinge, the costal cell and ends of cells 2nd ft ls i? 2 , and R z 

 brownish yellow ; pale brown clouds and seams at the origin 

 of lis ; mid-distance between arculus and the origin of lis ; 

 along the cord, darkest at the stigma and completely tra- 

 versing the wing as a narrow seam, at cell 1st M 2 forking 

 and suffusing the veins that surround this cell ; a small
