18 PEOCEBDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.73 



Genus GRIPHONEURA Schiner 



Griphoneura Schinee, Novara Exped., 1868, p. 281. — Malloch, Proc. Biol. 

 Soc. Wash., vol. 38, p. 75, 1925. 



My paper on this genus, which appeared in May, 1925, antedates 

 the part of Doctor Hendel's paper in which he deals with it. 



GRIPHONEURA SUFFUSA MaHoch 



There appears to be no doubt that proxima Hendel is the same 

 as this species. 



GRIPHONEURA TRIANGULATA Hendel 



This species is distinct fi-om any known to me in having the apex 

 of wing clouded and the cross veins with isolated clouds, the palpi 

 black, and several other characters not found in the other spcies. 

 I have not seen it. 



Described from Peru. 



GRIPHONEURA FERRUGINEA Schiner 



Griphoneura ferruginea Schiner, Novara Exped., 1868, p. 281. 



When I wrote my revision of the genus I had not seen this species, 

 which is the genot^'^pe. It is strikingly different from the other 

 species in color, being brownish or yellowish testaceous, with the 

 thoracic dorsum darkest, especially laterally at the suture, and the 

 wings are yellowish hyaline, without dark apices. 



The fore tarsus in the male has the same flattened area on base 

 of first segment as have the other species, and here it is over half 

 the length of the segment. There are two conspicuous bristly hairs 

 at apex of fore tibia above which extend to middle of first tarsal 

 segment. The first posterior cell is practically closed at the apex 

 and the bend of fourth ven is evenly rounded. 



Length, 4 mm. 



Locality, Higuito, San Mateo, Costa Rica (P. Schild). Two speci- 

 mens in the United States National Museum. 



I have compared the above two specimens with the type specimen 

 of ferruginea Schiner, sent me for examination by Doctor Zerny of 

 the Austrian National Museum, and find they agree in all particulars 

 with it.
