MONOOKAPH OF THE NORTH AMERICAN PKOCTOTllYriD^.. 381 



Autennsp inserted ou a frontal prominence, 14 jointed, filiform in both 

 sexes, or in 9 sometimes slij^btly incrassated toward tii>s, the joints, for 

 the most part, moniliform or submonilifonn, the last conic or ovate; in 

 the (? the joints are cylindrical, the first fia^ellar joint the longest and 

 usually excised at base. 



Thorax as in Ciiiefiix. 



Wings pubescent, with a basal cell and a closed marginal <ell, the 

 stigmal vein usually oblique (rarely straight), the marginal vein very 

 short, seldom much longer than the stigmal. 



Abdomen obovate or conic, the i)etiole two or thret^ times as long as 

 thick, the sec(md segment with a longitudinal sulcus at base. 



Legs as in Aclista, the basal joint of hind tarsi less than three times 

 as long as the second ; tibial si)urs short, but distinct. 



No type seems to have been described or indicated by Forster, but 

 the genus is a valid one, readily distinguished by the 14-jointed antenna? 

 in female, and the closed marginal cell. 



Only two other genera have 14 jointed autenuie in the 9, viz, 

 Anommatium and Pantolyta ; the former is wingless and without ocelli, 

 the latter winged but without a marginal <'ell.
