SCUDDER. NORTH AMERICAN CEUTHOPHILI. 51 



carina and on the hind carina two very feeble spines besides a moder- 

 ately long genicular spine. Hind femora about as long as the body, 

 somewhat more than twice as long as the fore femora, rather slender, 

 being fully three and a half times as long as broad, the distal third to 

 fourth subequal, the inner surface above and beyond the middle with 

 three or four distant raised points, both cariuae feebly spinulate in the 

 distal half, the outer more strongly than the inner in the male, the 

 reverse in the female which as a whole is a little more feebly armed, 

 the intervening sulcus rather narrow. Hind tibiae straight in both 

 sexes, of the same length as the femora, armed beneath with 12 sub- 

 apical spines besides the apical pair ; spurs subopposite, the basal 

 before the end of the proximal third of the tibia, with sometimes a 

 supplementary spur still farther toward the base, fully half as long 

 again as the tibial depth, set at an angle of about 70 with the tibia, 

 and divaricating about 1 60, the apical third incurved ; inner middle 

 calcaria considerably longer than the outer, fully twice as long as 

 the others or as the spurs and scarcely shorter than the first tarsal 

 joint. Hind tarsi two fifths as long as the tibiae, the first joint some- 

 what shorter than the rest combined, the second more than twice as 

 long as the third and with it about as long as the fourth. Cerci 

 rather slender, scarcely shorter than the femoral breadth. Ovipositor 

 a little less than two thirds as long as the hind femora, straight, 

 feebly tapering on the basal third, equal and moderately broad beyond, 

 the tip a little upturned and acuminate (about 35), the teeth not long, 

 aculeate. 



Length of body, $ 9 21 mm. ; antennae (est.), $ 75+ mm., 9 68+ 

 mm. ; pronotum, $ 6.5 mm., 9 7 mm. ; fore femora, $ 9.5 mm., 9 8-9 

 mm. ; hind femora and tibiae, 20.25 mm., 9 20.4 mm. ; ovipositor, 

 12.75 mm. 



1 $, 2 9, and 3 immature specimens, N. Carolina, Morrison (Coll. 

 Henshaw, Bruner). A 9 from Pennsylvania is in the Museum of 

 Comparative Zoology, and a 9 without locality in the U. S. National 

 Museum. 



Burmeister's Phal. lapidicola came from Virginia and South Caro- 

 lina. The present species is the only one known to me from the 

 Southern Atlantic States which completely or approximately agrees 

 with his description, the species formerly referred by me and others 

 to this being a Northern form to which the description poorly fits, 

 and that described by Brunner under this name is a very different 

 insect.
