Goeldia longipalpis Theobald. 



Under the name Hyloconops longipalpis Theobald describes 

 three specimens without designating a type. Two of them are 

 females, one is a male. They were sent by Lutz from Brazil. 

 One of the females has a pale ring on the hind tibiae and dif- 

 fers from the two others in many details. First we give a 

 description of this female with ringed tibiae: 



Proboscis rather short, black. Labellae pointed, paler. Palpi 

 one-third of the proboscis, black. Clypeus gray, rounded, nude. 

 Antennae slender. Eyes black. Head clothed with flat white 

 scales with grayish violet luster, a row of erect black scales 

 behind. 



Prothoracic lobes well separated, with whitish, flat, elliptical 

 scales. Mesonotum with white scales on front and side 

 margins. Disk black, covered with small bronzy brown nar- 

 row curved scales, broader in front of scutellum. Scutellum 

 with broader, flat brown scales with grayish luster. Postnotum 

 without scales, with a group of setae posteriorly. Pleurae and 

 coxae brown, with patches of white scales. 



Abdomen strongly depressed, black above with coppery 

 violet luster, venter silvery golden. Colors separated in a 

 nearly straight feebly angulated line. A black shade on the 

 mid ventral line. 



Wings hyaline clothed with fusiform and elliptical scales, 

 petiole of second marginal cell about one-fourth of its cell, 

 that of second posterior cell shorter. Basal cross vein about 

 its own length distant from anterior cross vein. 



Legs dark, femora pale beneath. Hind tibiae with a pale 

 white spot at outer third, forming a ring with a narrow open- 

 ing on upper side.
