PUNAMYIA, new genus. 



Genotype. — Punamyia transitionalis, new species. 



Differs from Erigonopsis as follows : 



Female. — Only two proclinate orbitals. Basal aristal joints both 

 short, no longer than broad. Epistoma normal, not of the dohcho- 

 cephalic wedgelike type. Cheeks with bunch of four or five geno- 

 orbitals in middle, on edge of occipital area next groove. Parafacials 

 with oblique irregular row of weak bristles extending from frontals 

 to lower corner of eyes, the lowest stronger. Cheek grooves very 

 broad anteriorly. Palpi longer than antennae. Proboscis hardly 

 as long as head-height. Joints three to five of front tarsi slightly 

 widened, the fifth more distinctly so. Costal spine strong, double. 

 Apical crossvein bent in apically as in Copecrypta. Hind cross vein 

 removed from apical crossvein by a distance equal to three or four 

 times the length of small crossvein. 



PUNAMYIA TRANSITIONALIS, new species. 



Length of body, 7 mm.; of wing, 6 mm. One female, Oroya, Peru, 

 over 12,000 feet, March 7, 1913 (Townsend). 



Blackish, brassy-cinerous poUinose, subshining. Head obscurely 

 colored; the face and cheeks silvery in some lights, brassy-blackish 

 in others; parafrontals more distinctly brassy. Second antennal 

 joint rufous, palpi rufous with black tips. One heavy median vitta 

 on thorax, an interrupted one on each side. Scutellum broadly 

 testaceous on border. Abdomen wholly dark ashy-brassy, shining 

 with satirdike luster. Legs blackish, tibiae largely rufous. Wings 

 lightly and evenly smoky. Tegulae nearly white. 



Holotype.—€&t. No. 19448, U.S.N.M. 



PAREPALPODES, new genus. 



Genotype. — Parepalpodes rimacensis, new species. 

 Differs from description of characters of Iluascaraya only as follows: 

 Female. — Abdomen more oval than rounded, not wider than thorax. 

 Second and third front tarsal joints not quite so widened. Para-
