Joannisia neomexicana n. sp. 



This species was taken at Pecos, N. M., August 25th, by Prof. 

 T. D. A. Cockerell. 



Male. Length .75 mm. Antennae brown, about twice the length 

 of the body, thickly haired; 14 segments, the fifth with a stem one- 

 fourth longer than the globose enlargement ; terminal segment 

 dumbell-shaped, the basal swelling somewhat greater than the distal 

 one, the two broadly united. Palpi apparently missing. Mesonotum 

 dark brown. Scutellum and abdomicn a little lighter. Wings hya- 

 line, costa light brown. Legs a variable yellowish, the distal tarsal 

 segments slightly fuscous : claws long, slender, strongly curved, 

 minutely denticulate, the pulvilli as long as the claws. Genitalia ; 

 basal clasp segment stout, truncate ; terminal clasp segment short, 

 stout, slightly swollen near the middle. Type Cecid. 891. 



Projoannisia Kiefif. 

 1912 Kieffer, J. J. Neue Gallm.-Gatt. p. 2 



This form is allied to Joannisia, has unusually broad wings and 

 the third vein is nearer the rudimentary fourth than to costa. The 

 antennal segments are 12, subsessile, the stem being about one- 

 fourth the length of the pyriform basal enlargement, the latter with 

 subapical, heavy, curved special sense organs not appearing in 

 typical Joannisia. The simple claws are only slightly bent and 

 about twice the length of the pulvilli. The ovipositor is very short. 

 Type Joannisia latipennis Kieff .

The antennal segments in this genus are subglobose, the segments 

 (male 14, female 13) with long stems in both sexes. The palpi are 

 biarticulate.- The claws are bent at almost right angles and greatly 

 swollen at the distal third. The anterior border of the wing extends 

 a little beyond the third vein. The pulvilH are long. The third vein 

 curves distally and joins the margin near the rudimentary fourth 

 vein. The basal clasp segment of the male is stout, truncate, the 

 terminal clasp segment short, stout, curved subapically, greatly 

 swollen and obtusely rounded distally. Ovipositor quadriarticulate. 

 Through the courtesy of the authorities we were allowed to study 

 the excellent microscopic preparations of this genus in the Berlin 

 Natural Historv ^Museum.
