 I am acquainted with two species, aa under : — 



v 1. P. APPENDicuLATUS, FaJnciw*. (Ascal. appendiculatus, Fa6. JEw^ 

 Syst. ii. p. 96 ; Hag. Stett. ent. Zeit. 1863, p. 376.— Haplogl. ap- 

 pcruliculntus, llamb. Ndvrop. p. 363. — Ptynx costatus, Lefebv., 

 Gu^rin's Mnxj. \M2, nee Burm.) Aiitcniifc rufo-piccBC ; clava iiifus- 

 cata. Thorax fuscus, supra rufo-varius, fusco-hirtus ; infra utrinque 

 flavidus. Pedes flavidi ; tarsis infuscatis. Abdomen supra testaceo 

 fuscoque varium, fuseo-hirsutum ; infra flavidum, vittis tribus nigris, 

 interrupts, ornatum. Alae subvitreae ; area costaU subcostaHque (ilia 

 pallidiore) brunneis : pterostigmate brunneo, subobsoleto ; venis ve- 

 nulisque brunneo-testaceis, nigro-hirsutis. Exp. alar. 41'". 

 Hab. Georgia (and probably other Southern States). 



-f 2. P. JUVENILIS, nov.sp. Antennse nigro-piceae ; clava nigra. Thorax 

 niger, supra flavo-maculatus, fusco-villosus, infra utrinque flavus,

 nigro-piceis. Alse subvitrese ; area subcostah infuscata; pterostig- 

 mate nigro-notato ; venis venulisque nigris. Exp. alar. 34 . 

 Hab. Texas (Belfrage). In my collection. 

 Much smaller than appendicwlatus, and evidently distinct. 



f Genus Cobmodes, n. g. 



Wings elongate, rather broad, nearly equal, margins parallel, 

 apex obtuse ; anterior pair obliquely excised at the extreme 

 base of the inner margin, not appendiculato : network open. 



AnienncG shorter than the wings, curved downwards at the tip ; 

 club large, pyriform. 



Thorax very robust, and strongly villose. 



Abdomen, $ , very short, robust, obtuse.
