Tue CRANE-Fulrs oF New York — Part II 947 
slightly raised, two narrow lines on front, meeting below at a very acute angle. Eyes large 
in male, smaller in female, the front correspondingly narrowed or broadened. Labrum short, 
subtriangular. Sheaths of labial lobes small, suboval, separated by tip of labrum. Sheaths 
of maxillary palpi short, stout, straight. Antennal sheaths moderately long, extending to 
just beyond wing base; basal segments prominent, indicated on sheath as prominent ele- 
vations. Pronotal breathing horns short, blunt, anterior face closely applied to pronotum, 
outer face free; at base a small rounded knob. Thorax very deep, precipitous, at crest 
(Plate LX XIX, 429) armed with two strong curved hooks, one on either side of median line; 
on shoulder laterad of these hooks, two prominent flattened plates whose margins are 
minutely serrated, the dorsal, or outer, plate being the larger and terminating in a large 
curved hook. Wing sheaths moderately broad, ending just before tip of second abdominal 
segment. Leg sheaths (Plate LX XIX, 430) long and slender, outer pair much the longest, 
ending about opposite tip of fourth abdominal segment, middle pair the shortest. 
Mesonotum with two strong setae. 
Abdominal segments divided into two annuli by an indistinct suture, anterior ring narrow; 
anterior ring with a strong seta on pleural region; posterior ring with strong setae on dorsum 
and sternum near caudal margin; three other setae on pleural region, two at about midlength 
of segment, the third near base and more dorsal in position. Male cauda (Plate LX XIX, 
431) suddenly narrowed, terminating in two blunt ventral lobes and two acutely pointed 
dorsal lobes bent strongly dorsad at their tips and bearing a short seta in notch on inner face 
before apex; near base of cauda, on dorsum, a broad transverse swelling terminating in two 
widely separated, slender tubercles, immediately cephalad and laterad of which is a long seta; 
three strong setae on either side near base of cauda; posterior margin of segment 7 with two 
powerful, decussate setae on dorsum, and between them two small setae; another powerful 
seta near pleural region, and just inside still another smaller seta.

Genus Cladura Osten Sacken (Gr. branch + tail) 
"1859 Cladura O. 8. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., p. 229. 
The genus Cladura includes six known species — two from eastern North 
America, one from western North America, and three from Japan. The 
small Cladura delicatula Alex., of the mountainous regions of the north- 
eastern United States, differs from the genotype, C. flavoferruginea O. 5., 
in several important respects and it is necessary to erect a new group to 
receive it. This group may, for the present at least, be considered as a 
subgenus of Cladura, and the name WNeocladura (Gr. new + Cladura) is 
proposed. Moreover, the genera Crypteria Bergr. and Pterochionea Alex: 
are closely related to Cladura, and the entire group are almost certainly the 
direct forbears of the subapterous genus Chionea Dalman. Neocladura
