Described from the type which is in the U. S. National Museum : Female, 

 12 Aug., 1904, Lake Placid, N. Y. (Van Duzee). 



Thus far the writer has seen only the type specimen, and judg- 

 ing by the amount of material handled this species must be very 

 limited in distribution.

Male: Length 6.5 mm., width 2.1 mm. Very similar to fumatus, 

 especially in the white coloration on lower half of head. Anten- 

 nae: Segment i, length 1.42 mm., equal to the distance from base 

 of pronotum to a line drawn through the middle of eyes, and in 

 this respect nearly identical with fumatus. Distinguished by hav- 

 ing all the femora black, posterior pair with an oblique pale band 

 near apex, and adjacent to this with a few small pale freckles as 

 in corticevivens. Genital claspers, flagellum, a long tubercle above 

 base of left clasper and a shorter one above the right clasper, dis- 

 tinctive of the species (fig. 149: 7). 



Female: Very similar to the male but slightly more robust, 

 frequently lighter colored.
