of the prsebraclrial. Abdomen fusiform, red ; dorsal stripe and tip 

 black. 



Not rare. (E.) 



35. simplex, Fal. Rhzm. 8. 10 (1810) ; Meig. Nigra, capite 

 albo antice testaceo, antennarum articulo sexto ad trientem incrassato, 

 palpis fulvis, alis limpidis, alulis albis, abdomine subfusiforrai. Long. 

 If; alar. 3 lin. 



Frontalia piceous ; bristles of the front descending to one-eighth of 

 the face ; facialia without bristles ; epistoraa very slightly prominent ; 

 palpi very short ; eyes bare. Antennae not reaching the epistoma ; 

 third joint rounded towards the tip, a little longer than the second ; 

 sixth minutely pubescent, stout for one-third of the length from the 

 base, more than twice the length of the third. Wings limpid ; costal 

 vein ending where the cubital meets it at a short distance in front of 

 the tip of the wing ; subcostal vein ending at beyond one-third of the 

 length ; mediastinal vein ending at a little before half of the length ; 

 radial vein ending at about five-sixths of the length ; prasbrachial vein 

 forming a slightly obtuse angle at its flexure, which emits a short branch*, 

 from thence it is almost straight to its tip, and joining the cubital very 

 far from the tip of the latter ; discal transverse vein slightly curved 

 inward in the middle, parted by much more than its length from the 

 flexure of the prabrachial and from the border ; Male, praebrachial vein 

 forming a very obtuse angle at its flexure, which does not emit a branch ; 

 discal transverse vein much curved inward. 



Bare. (E.) 



36. caminaria, n. Nigra, capite argenteo, antennarum articulo 

 sexto fere ad trientem incrassato, alis cinereis antice subfuscis, alulis albis, 

 abdomine longi-elliptico. Long. 3 ; alar. 5 lin. 



Frontalia deep black ; bristles of the front descending to one-fourth 

 of the face ; face vertical ; facialia without bristles ; epistoma not pro- 

 minent ; eyes bare. Antennae not reaching the epistoma ; second joint 

 longer than deep ; third linear, rounded at the tip, longer than the 

 second ; fourth indistinct ; fifth short ; sixth pubescent, stout for near 

 one-third of the length, more than twice the length of the third. Cos- 

 tal vein ending at some distance in front of the tip of the wing ; sub- 

 costal vein ending at one-third of the length ; mediastinal vein ending 

 at much before half of the length ; radial vein ending at four-fifths of 

 the length ; cubital vein ending very near the tip of the costal ; pra> 

 brachial vein forming a very obtuse angle at its flexure, straight from 

 thence to the tip, which joins the cubital far from the tip of the latter ; 

 discal transverse vein hardly curved outward, parted by its length from 

 the flexure of the preebrachial, and by a little more from the border.
