INSDCUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 105 



Type, male, paratypes, male and three females, No. 24331, 

 U. S. Nat. Mus. ; El Salado, Guayaquil, Ecuador (F. Campos 

 R.). The specimens bear Prof. Campos's numbers, 24, 25, 26, 

 69, 70, No. 24 determined by Knab as albomaculatus (but the 

 claws are toothed!), No. 26 determined by Knab as equinus, 

 and No. 69 determined by Dyar as equinus. 



Close to equinus Theob., but the palpi of the male somewhat 

 longer. The hypopygium is very distinct. 



The larva was not sent in. 



Haemagogus (Haemagogus) regalis Dyar & Knab. 



Haemagogiis regalia Dyar & Knab, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., xix, 

 167, 1906. 



Stegoconops albomaculatus Howard, Dyar & Knab (not Theo- 

 bald), Mosq. No. & Cent. Am. & W. I., ii, pi. 23, fig. 163, 1912. 



Described from Sonsonate, Salvador, San Juan, Trinidad, 

 Cacao, Guatemala, and Livingstone, Guatemala. The type may 

 be restricted to the first named locality, Knab's breeding num- 

 ber 330. In the monograph, we sunk the name under alho- 

 maculatus Theobald and cited a wide distribution, no wider, 

 however, than in the original conception. As a matter of fact 

 the species is a local one, and is before me only from Sonso- 

 nate, Salvador. The specimen from Trinidad is janthinomys, 

 while the two from Guatemala are females and cannot be 

 placed. The male hypopygium is figured in the monograph, 

 as cited above. 



The larva was confused by us with that of argyromeris 

 D. & L. (albomaculatus H., D. & K., not Theobald), but did 

 not serve as the subject of figure or description in the mono- 

 graph. 



Secondary abdominal hairs long and sparsely stellate (3 or 

 4 in a tuft) ; air-tube short and thick, rounded at tip, the 

 pecten reaching distinctly beyond the middle, followed by a 

 three-haired tuft ; lateral comb of the eighth segment of many 

 scales in a patch, each scale large and thick, smooth on the 

 sides, very minutely feathered at the tip ; anal segment with 

 the plate reaching well toward the ventral line, spinose on 

 posterior edge ; upper head-hair single, lower double.
