SPONGILLA-FLIES — PARFIN AND GURNEY 515 



Climacia chilena, new species 



Figure 24, c; Plate 3, figure 2 



Female (holotype): Head with vertex dark brown in center, some 

 lighter brown laterally adjacent to eyes; face dark brown medially, 

 paler laterally; palpi yellowish; antennae dark brown (broken, of at 

 least 41 segments) ; legs yellow, coxae with a little brownish; pronotum 

 with anterior third yellowish with a small dark brown spot on each 

 side of central dark streak, posterior two-thirds brown with two 

 narrow oblique yellowish spots, one on each side of central dark 

 streak, mesonotum and metanotum brown, prothoracic pleura 

 brown, meso thoracic and meta thoracic pleura brown with yellow 

 elongate streak medially and antero ventrally ; abdomen yellowish. 



FoREWiNG (pi. 3, fig. 2) : Length 6 mm., width 2.2 mm.; membrane 

 yellowish with no streaking other than faint brownish intervenational 

 streaking from outer gradates, and distal portions of cubital and anal 

 veins to margin; longitudinal veins yellowish basally with setal pits 

 bordered with brown from about point of separation of Rs and MA 

 from Rs+MA to margin; Sc from humeral vein to level of about 11th 

 costal cross-vein, subcostal ends of most costal cross-veins brown; 

 radial and cubital cross-veins, inner and outer gradates (except 1st 

 r-m which is yellowish with brown setal pits), brown bordered; Rs 

 forking far basad of point of coalescence of Sc and Rl near center of 

 wing into R24-3 and R4 + 5; R2-1-3 forking under point of coalescence 

 of Sc and Rl; MA forking under pterostigma in left wing and basad 

 of Rs fork into R2 + 3 and R4 + 5 in right wing; MPl+2 forking into 

 almost equal forks near margin; Cul with four branches to margin in 

 left wmg and five in right wmg; approximately 14 costal cross-veins 

 before pterostigma; gradates in regular series, three inner and seven 

 outer gradates in left wing, eight outer gradates in right wing, including 

 an additional s between forking of R2+3, and an additional m between 

 the fork of MA; three radial cross-veins, 1st r slightly distad of separa- 

 tion of Rs from MA, 2d r slightly distad of forking of R2 + 3 and 

 R4 + 5 in right wing and basad in left wing; two radiomedial cross- 

 veins. The right fore wing is probably abnormal in its deep fork to 

 MA and the crowding together of R2 and R3. 



HiNDWiNG (pi. 3, fig. 2) : Length approximately 5 mm., width 2.2 

 mm,; membrane hyaline to yellowish; pterostigma yellowish; longi- 

 tudinal veins, except for basal portion of costa, yellowish; entire 

 length of Sc more or less (except base), short section of Rl from just 

 before 1st r to point of coalescence of Sc and Rl, short section of Rs+ 

 MA just before their separation, Rs beyond separation, very short 

 basal portions of MA at separation from Rs, R4 + 5 at separation from 

 R2 + 3, R2 + 3 to 1st r, and costal and radial cross-veins brownish;
