CHARLES W. HOOKER. 59 



Fulvous ; vertex, antenncs, stigma and abdomen beyond the second seg- 

 ment black ; discocubital cell with two macules. 



Length, 19-25 mm. ; wing, 14-16 mm. ; spread, 30-34 mm. ; antennae, 

 20-26 mm. 



Head flavous ; vertex and antennae black ; antennae as long as or 

 longer than the body ; ocelli large, well separated, the posterior close 

 to the tops of the eyes ; eyes large, emarginate ; face sometimes with a 

 more or less distinct median black band, running from the anterior 

 ocellus to or below the antennal fossae. 



Thorax dull fulvous ; mesonotum indistinctly tinged with fuscous ; 

 mesopleurae smooth ; scutellum with lateral keels ; metathorax with 

 strong anterior transverse carina, in front of which it is smooth, behind 

 with arcuate wrinkles. 



Wings slightly tinged with fulvous or light brown, stigma and ner- 

 vures fuscous to black ; discocubital cell with two maculae, the larger 

 triangular, not appendiculate, the smaller round, or slightly elongate, 

 nervulus antef ureal, nervellus broken below the middle, discocubital 

 vein bent, the first recurrent vein two-thirds the length of the second. 



Legs fulvous, claws pectinate. 



Abdomen with the two basal segments fulvo-ferruginous, beyond 

 the second segment black, the lower apical corner tinged with fulvous. 



In redescribing this species I have compared two female 

 specimens with the original description. 



Type. — 9. Hungarian National Museum. 



This species shows some variation in color and shape of 

 the maculae as in other species ; the smaller macula may be 

 circular or almost linear, and the wings vary from hyaline 

 with only a slight fulvous tinge to light brown. Szepligeti 

 has based a new species — -persimilh — on these two differ- 

 ences, but specimens before me show that they are variable. 

 His specimens with finely rugose metathorax are only minor 

 variations. 



Distribution. — This species has a fairly wide range through 

 Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, and probably north into Venezula. 

 Szepligeti's types came from Mapiri, Bolivia, and Minas Ger- 

 aes and Blumenau, Brazil, and his other specimen, the type of 

 persimilisy from Pachitea, Peru, while I have seen specimens 

 from Peru. 



Nothing is known of the life history or habits. 



Location of specimens. — Hungarian National Museum. Type 

 9 ; also type d^ persimilis. U. S. National Museum, two 9 's, 

 Peru.
