PSEUDAGENIA, Kohl. 



Pseiidagenia tarsn/is, sp. n. 



Nigra, t arsis rufis ; alis lactois, fusco^bifasciatis. $ . 

 Long, fere 12 millim. 



Bah. Guatemala, Purula in Vera Paz {Champion). 



Anteini£e stout, pruinose; the third and fourth joints for 

 the greater part rufous. Head covered with a fulvous micro- 

 scopic pile ; the eyes almost parallel, only very slightly con- 

 verging above ; the hinder ocelli separated from the eyes by 

 about the same distance they are from each other ; the tips 

 of the mandibles piceous. Thorax densely pruinose, silvery, 

 inclining to golden on the mesonotum. The apex of the 

 median segment irregularly transversely striolated. The 

 apex of the mesopleurje crenulated, and there is an indistinct 

 oblique furrow across its middle. Abdomen shining, pruinose. 

 The tirst cloud in the fore wings extends equally across the 

 transverse basal neivure, the second and wider cloud ex- 

 tending from the first cubital to the third transverse cubital 

 nervure ; the first and second transverse cubital nervures are 

 oblique, straight, the third roundly curved in the middle and 

 narrowed towards the second at the top ; the first recurrent 

 nervure is oblique and received shortly before the middle of 

 the cellule, the second curved and recurved distinctly in front 

 of the middle of the cellule. 



Agrees closely with P. Championi^ Cam., from Panama; 

 but the wings at the apex are not fulvous, the basal cloud is 

 much wider, the third cubital cellule is hardly narrowed at 

 the top (wliile it is very much narrowed in P. C/iampioni), 

 and the tarsi are rufous.
