DESCRIPTION OP THE SPECIES. 325 



color; the second ray also runs obliquely to the anterior margin, 

 which it reaches before the middle of the distance between Ute 

 ends of the second and third longitudinal veins; the third and 

 fourth rays run towards the apex and end upon the ends of the 

 third and fourth veins; among the five rays running towards the 

 posterior margin, the first two cross, as usual, the second poste- 

 rior cell, and the third follows the posterior crossvein ; the fourth 

 originates but little beyond the posterior crossvein, exactly at the 

 place where the spot incloses a large drop, placed on the anterior 

 side of the fourth vein; it runs almost parallel to the preceding 

 ray as far as the posterior margin; the last ray finally originates 

 at the posterior end of the small crossvein, and runs in a very 

 oblique direction, diverging from that of the preceding ray, towards 

 the margin, in the vicinity of which the intensity of its coloring 

 is diminished ; the drops, through the coalescence of which the 

 hyaline intervals between the last three rays are formed, are 

 indicated by the irregular outlines of the last two rays ; besides 

 the drop already mentioned, which is situated on the anterior 

 side of the fourth vein, the black spot contains a second drop 

 immediately beyond the end of the second vein. 



Hob. Cuba (Gundlach). 



Observation 1. T. polyclona is a typical Urellia, and belongs, 

 as well as T. abstersa, to the division with four bristles on the 

 scutellum. 



Observation 2. One would almost be tempted to recognize in 

 this species the T. mevarna Walker, List, etc., IV, p. 1023, from 

 Florida, which is an Urellia. But a positive identification is 

 prevented by the circumstance that Walker mentions the feet as 

 having black pile, which is not at all the case in my species.
