  Tliis 
  species 
  is 
  easUy 
  separable 
  from 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  others 
  in 
  this 
  group 
  

   by 
  the 
  long-haired 
  hind 
  tibiae. 
  The 
  hind 
  femur 
  has 
  the 
  apical 
  third 
  

   slightly 
  swollen, 
  the 
  dilated 
  portion 
  with 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  6-7 
  long 
  hairlike, 
  

   curled 
  bristles 
  on 
  the 
  anteroventral 
  surface 
  and 
  several 
  shorter, 
  finer 
  

   hairs 
  on 
  the 
  postero 
  ventral 
  surface. 
  Size 
  2^3^ 
  mm. 
  Originally 
  

   described 
  from 
  South 
  America 
  and 
  redescribed 
  by 
  Loew, 
  from 
  Cuba, 
  

   Sis 
  femorata. 
  Kepresented 
  in 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  collection 
  by 
  

   specimens 
  from 
  Florida, 
  no 
  locality 
  (collection 
  Coquillett); 
  Miami, 
  

   Florida 
  (C. 
  H. 
  T. 
  Townsend); 
  Brownsville, 
  Texas 
  (McMillan 
  and 
  

   Marshall); 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  13 
  specimens 
  bred 
  from 
  cages 
  containing 
  larvae 
  

   and 
  pupae 
  of 
  GaleruceUa 
  luteola 
  Miiller 
  (the 
  elm 
  leaf 
  beetle) 
  , 
  with 
  note 
  

   that 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  this 
  and 
  another 
  Anthomyid 
  had 
  destroyed 
  all 
  the 
  

   pupae; 
  Guadeloupe, 
  West 
  Indies 
  (Busck); 
  and 
  Trinidad, 
  West 
  Indies 
  

   (Busck). 
  Though 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  G. 
  luteola 
  above 
  referred 
  to 
  were 
  

   obtained 
  from 
  various 
  States 
  — 
  Connecticut, 
  New 
  York, 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  

   and 
  New 
  Hampshire 
  — 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  improbable 
  that 
  the 
  Anthomyids 
  

   obtained 
  access 
  to 
  the 
  cages 
  in 
  Washington.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  distinguishable 
  by 
  its 
  size 
  and 
  coloration, 
  as 
  weU 
  as 
  

   the 
  fasciculate 
  hind 
  femur, 
  from 
  any 
  other 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  group 
  except 
  

   one 
  or 
  two 
  from 
  Bohvia 
  in 
  South 
  America. 
  It 
  was 
  originally 
  

   described 
  from 
  Panama, 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  seen 
  it 
  from 
  any 
  other 
  

   locality.

  Unlike 
  any 
  other 
  described 
  species 
  in 
  coloration 
  and 
  armature 
  of 
  

   legs. 
  Described 
  from 
  Panama 
  and 
  not 
  recognized

  from 
  any 
  

   other 
  locality.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  separable 
  from 
  femoralis 
  Stein, 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  most 
  

   closely 
  related, 
  by 
  the 
  bristling 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  femora. 
  Both 
  these 
  

   species 
  have 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  long, 
  curled, 
  hair-like 
  bristles 
  on 
  the 
  postero-
