KELLICOTT. 17 



Abdominal segments 1-7 are light on the sides, while 

 the last three are black or bronze throughout, there 

 are narrow interrupted basal rings on 2-7. 



The male abdominal appendages are forcipate, 

 brownish at base, black apically, denticulate without, 

 on the inner margin is a blade which is narrow concave 

 at the inner margin and denticulate, this blade is pre- 

 ceded by a sharp backwardly directed spine; the in- 

 feriors are black, except on the under side of the 

 swollen base, long and sigmoid. 



The female has the appendages slender, reddish 

 with black tips. Her colors differ little from those of 

 the male ; the humerals are more conspicuous and wid- 

 est below, the rear of the head has a yellow band 

 from eye to eye — obscure in old specimens ; there is a 

 faint mid-dorsal line on the abdomen, and both sexes 

 are more or less pruinose when adult. 



This species has been found very abundant in the 

 northern parts, near the lake and in the central sec- 

 tion. It is on the wing from mid-summer until 

 October.
