long, fine hairs ; subcosta indistinct, uniting with the margin at the 

 basal third; first longitudinal vein distinct and extending to the 

 posterior margin just behind the apex, 

 anal vein indistinct, joining the pos- 

 terior margin at the distal third and 

 its branch near the basal third. Legs 

 pale yellowish, rather thickly clothed 

 with grayish brown hairs, tarsi lighter ; 

 first tarsal segment short, second very 

 much produced, third ahiout one half 

 the length of the second, the fourth two 

 thirds the length of the third, and the 

 fifth a little shorter. Claws simple, 

 empodium well developed. 



Male. Very similar to the female, 

 except that the antennae are about as 

 long as the body, and the distal seg- 

 ments presumably 3 to 14 inclusive, 

 have two subglobular dilations, one at 

 the base and the other at the apical 

 third. The basal subglobular dilation 

 bears a whorl of very long, stout, simple 

 setae and just distally thereof, a whorl 



of fine, much shorter, arched filaments. Fi?. 41 Bremia tecomiae.onean- 



The distal pear-shaped enlargement H^^^l 'cSSnli)"^ '^^^^' '^''''^ ^''' 

 bears a whorl of stout setae a little be- 

 yond its middle, and at its base and near the apex, whorls of fine, 

 arched filaments like that on the basal enlargement ; both dilations are 

 ornamented w4th many irregularly placed, chitinous spots, the basal 

 being separated by a narrow, smooth stem from 

 the distal, and that in turn from the basal of the 

 next segment by a similar stem or pedicel. The 

 coarse, granulate eyes are larger than in the 

 female and inclose a greater proportion of the 

 head. The abdomen is more slender and the ter- 

 minal appendages are dark brown. Male geni- 

 talia with the basal* clasp segment stout, broadly 

 curved exteriorly and somewhat arcuate interiorly, 

 distal internal margin oblique. Terminal clasp 

 segment stout, tapering gradually to a strong, 

 bidentate apex. Dorsal lamella irregularly rounded

 Pupa. Pupa yellowish w4th wing pads extending two thirds the 

 length of the abdomen, the leg cases reaching to the extremity and 

 the antennae touching the basal abdominal segments, which latter 

 are ornamented dorsally with irregular, double rows of chitinous 

 spines. The conspicuous dorsal processes are slender, curved,
