 p. 520(1907), $. 



2 . Radial cell slightly angular at the apex ; third abscissa of 

 the radius the longest, but shorter than the first and second 

 combined, the first scarcely as long as the second. First re- 

 ciirrent nervure received near the middle of the second cubital 

 cell, second just beyond one-quarter from the base of the third 

 cubital cell. Second cubital cell less strongly produced towards 

 the base than in fiavicoi^nis. Basal joint of hind tarsi with a 

 scopa beneath, in which are a few longer spines ; basal joint of 

 fore tarsi with six or seven well-developed spines below and the 

 usual six above ; basal lobe of tarsal ungues rounded ; lobe 

 beneath the apical half of the hind femora broadly rounded and 

 less strongly developed than in Jlavicornis. Deeply and rather 

 closely pvmctured, the abdomen more shallowly punctured. 



Black ; the pu.bescence on the head and sides of the thorax 

 white, on the abdomen and dorsal surface of the thorax black ; 

 calcaria black ; four basal dorsal segments of a,bdomen and 

 ventral segments 2-4 with apical cilite of scale-like white hairs.

Cosila argenteocincta Gribodo, Ann. Mus. Civ. Stor. Nat. Genova,

5 . Radial cell with a slight angle at the apex ; second abscissa 

 of the radius longer than the first, the third equal to the first 

 and second combined, the third cubital cell a little longer on the 

 cubitus than on the radius. Fii'st recurrent nervure received 

 just beyond the middle of the second cubital cell, second at one- 

 third from the base of the third cubital cell ; the second cubital 

 cell moderately produced towards the base on the cubitus. Basal 

 joint of hind tarsi with a close row of small spines beneath ; basal 

 joint of fore tarsi with seven spines above, and a close-set row of 

 slender spines beneath ; basal lobe of tarsal ungues bluntly 

 rounded ; lobe beneath the basal half of the posterior femora 

 broadly rounded. Shining, finely and very sparsely punctured ; 

 the median segment subopaque and very finely and closely 

 punctured on the sides ; abdomen shallowly but much more 

 coarsely punctui-ed.
