one, so that the chitinization is incomplete, and the color is 

 nearly lacking. If it were not for the well marked clypeal 

 characters, which indicate its affinities unmistakably, I 

 should not describe the specimen. 



Head, length 56 mm., width 53 mm.; front broad, an- 

 gularly emarginated ; two submarginal hairs between the 

 suture and the anterior angles of the clypeus, of which 

 the hinder is much the longer; a short hair at the suture, 

 and three short ones in front of the trabecular; the tra- 

 becular very long, reaching to end of segment 2 of an- 

 tennae ; eye prominent, with a hair and black fleck; four 

 longish hairs on temporal margin; occipital and antennal 

 bands pale, but evidently to be well chitinized; signature 

 broad, emarginate on anterior margin. 



Prothorax short, with rounding angles, and with single 

 hair in posterior angles; indications of strong, even, lat- 

 eral bands. Metathorax obtusely angled on abdomen, 

 with a series of pustulated hairs along posterior margin; 

 indications of large lateral blotches. Legs concolorous 

 with body. 



Abdomen broadly elliptical, with long hairs in posterior 

 angles of segments, and one transverse row of hairs across 

 each segment; lateral transverse blotches are indicated, 

 and narrow dark lateral bands are present; transverse 

 blotches extending across segment 8; genitalia short, 

 broad, confined to segments 8-9. 



Docophorus incisus n. sp. (Plate lxv, fig. 3.) 



Found on a Bluebird, Sialia sialis (Lawrence, Kansas), 

 and on a Cedar Waxwing, Amftelis cedrorum (Lawrence, 

 Kansas). 



General characters of communis, but with front of cly- 

 peus narrower and deeply emarginated ; signature with 

 anterior margin emarginated and unevenly chitinized ;
