some pallidus due to post-mortem changes or loss of thoracic con- 
tents), widest and most definite in submedianus and subapicalis. The 
humeral stripe, like the antehumeral, in pallidus is narrow, obscure, and 
scarcely evident; in submedianus it is reduced to a line, in striking 
contrast to the well developed antehumeral; in subapicalis it is a 
as wide as the antehumeral. 
Venation between At and A2. 
I. Two cells of about equal size in first series’, Ar angled’: sub- 
medianus, 2 male wings, 20%; subapicalis, 3 male wings, 75%. 
II. Two cells in first series, the proximal one of these two long 
and narrow, Ar not angled: pallidus, 9 male wings, 90%, 4 female wings, 
40% ; submedianus, 1 female wing, 16.7%. 
III. One cell in first series, Ar angled: pallidus, 1 male wing, 10%; 
submedianus, 8 male wings, 80%, 3 female wings, 50%; subapicalis, 1 
male wing, 25%, 1 female wing, 50%. 
IV. One cell in first series. Ar not angled: palhdus. 6 female 
wings, 60%;- submedianus, 2 female wings, 33.3%; subapicalis, 1 
temale wing, 50%. 
Legs.—Light brown in pallidus, femora darker apically and dorsally, 
tibiae gray dorsally, tarsus black, second joint of last tarsus gray, and 
first joint of same tarsus gray in the middle; last femora with some 
hair in the female, and in the male almost covered with brown pile. 
In the other two species the femora are not nearly so hairy, and 
there is a distinct color pattern of dark on a ground color paler than 
the light brown of pallidus. In submedianus the legs are green or 
yellowish green, the femora apically and dorsally black; the tibiae 
black ventrally and, in sharp contrast, yellow dorsally, tarsus patterned 
as in pallidus, but the middle joint of the middle legs shows more or 
less pale also; from the apical black of the last femur three fine lines 
run basally on the dorsal surface of the femur, two of these are 
anterior (external) and the other is posterior (internal), the apical 
black occupies 1 to 2 mm., and the black lines, except sometimes the 
most anterior one and the posterior one in the male, do not reach 
the base of the femur. Subapicalis is similar to submedianus, but on 
the last femora the apical black is more extensive and the lines are 
less developed, the posterior scarcely evident, and the two anterior 
lines shorter than in swbmedianus. 
Abdomen.—The abdominal markings are generally obscure, ill- 
defined and difficult of description. Probably this is true of the 
majority of these insects in life, and more generally true of dried 
material. In the absence of any notes on living colors and with 
*In all wings examined there are 2 cells i in the second series. 
7Ar varies from distinctly angled to straight in the entire series of 
wings examined, so the description as angled or straight is, in some 
cases, arbitrary.
