FENUSA PYGMJ1A. 



SECTION 2. Frontal sutures indistinct. Transverse 

 basal nervure not touching costal. Legs for the 

 greater part white or testaceous. Transverse radial 

 nervure received usually before the third transverse 

 cubital. Antennai longish.

Black ; antennae nearly as long as the abdomen ; the two first joints 

 large, the third scarcely double the length of the fourth, the rest 

 gradually, but slightly, decreasing in length; covered with a stiff 

 microscopic down. Head very smooth, shining, with a faint scattered 

 down ; tegulse white ; face covered with a sparse scattered pubescence ; 

 frontal sutures invisible ; eyes greenish. Aodomen a little longer than 

 the head and thorax ; apex rounded ; saw largely exserted. Legs : coxae, 

 trochanters and the greater part of the femora black ; knees, tibiae and 

 tarsi clear white. Wings half smoky, clearer at the apex ; first radial 

 cellule a little shorter than the second; first cubital cellule shorter 

 than second, which is double the width at the apex that it is at the 

 base, and angled where it receives the recurrent nervure. Radial 

 nervnre received about a fourth of the length of the second cellule in 

 front of the second transverse cubital nervure. 



The $ is unknown to me.

Pi/f/mcea closely resembles a Ibipes, but differs from it 

 in the black femora, white tegulae, shorter antennae, and 

 longer second cubital cellule. From hortulana 9 with 

 which it agrees in the white tegulae, it is easily separated 

 by the black pleurae, longer antennae, and black femora. 



* Larva white. Head light brown, darker at the 

 sides ; eye spots black ; mouth reddish-brown. On 

 the second ventral segment is a large black plate 

 occupying the whole segment, except a small portion 

 at the edges and apex ; on the third there is, across the 

 centre, a large black band, and on the fourth there is 

 a small, somewhat spindle-shaped, black band. The 

 back of the second segment is black, except at the 

 edges ; sometimes this black portion is divided down
