 PI. XII, fig. 8. 



Kleditoma elegans, Cam., Mem. Lit. Phil. Soc. Man., ii (4), 60. 



Black ; the trochanters, apex of femora, tibiae, and tarsi, testaceous ; 

 wings hyaline, the nervures testaceous. Antennae a little longer than 

 the body ; the third joint nearly as long as the fourth and fifth joints 

 united, the fourth to seventh equal in length and ihickness, the eighth one- 

 half longer than the seventh and distinctly thicker tha'n it ; the 5-jointed 

 club abrupt, the ninth joint being thicker and longer than the eighth, 

 and the joints bear some moderately long hairs. Wings ample ; the 

 apex waved, almost truncated, but very slightly incised ; radial cellule 

 wide, moderately elongate, in length nearly twice the width of the 

 widest part ; the second abscissa of radius three-fourths longer than the 

 first. Abdomen as long as the thorax, looked at from the side almost 

 triangular ; hair-fringe griseous. 



Length nearly If mm. 



Allied to K. longipennis, but easily known from it by 

 the clear testaceous tibiae and tarsi, by the incision in 

 the wings being very much less deep, and by the eighth 

 joint of the antennae being clearly longer and thicker 

 than the seventh.

 PI. XIII, fig. 2. 



Kleditoma truncata, Cam., Mem. Lit. Phil. Soc. Man., ii (4), 60. 



Black ; the legs testaceous, the coxae for the greater part black, the 

 femora black in the middle ; wings hyaline, the nervures obscure testa- 

 ceous. Antennae a little shorter than the body ; the third joint twice 

 the length of the fourth ; the fourth to eighth subequal, but becoming 

 very slightly longer, of equal width and about one- half longer than 

 broad ; the 5-jointed club subabrupt, the ninth being distinctly thinner 

 than the tenth and shorter than it. Scutellum indistinctly striolated 

 laterally ; metapleurse opaque, pubescent. Abdomen shorter than the 

 thorax; the hair-fringe dense, griseous. Wings large, the apex 

 scarcely incised (in figure the incision is too acute) ; the radial cellule
