DOLICHOPUS. 63 



blue. Antennoe yellowish-red, the short third joint more brown- 

 ish-red. The narrow face ochre-yellow. Cilia of the inferior 

 orbit pale yellowish. Cilia of the tegulse black. Hypopygium 

 of moderate size, the basal half metallic-green or green-blue, the 

 apical half yellow ; the lamellae rather large and broad, with a 

 rather broad black border, fringed with black on the upper mar- 

 gin only ; jagged as usual, on the apical margin and beset with 

 crooked black bristles. Fore coxa? entirely yellow, with a delicate 

 and short pubescence ; near the tip with black bristles. Middle 

 and hind coxae of the same color, still the former more or less 

 blackish at the basis. Femora and tibiae yellow ; hind femora 

 upon the front side before the tip with a stout bristle ; all femora 

 glabrous upon their underside. Fore and middle tibiae plain, 

 rather slender, moderately bristled. Hind tibiae very stout, 

 thickened upon the basal half and with a large glabrous spot 

 upon their hind side. Fore tarsi slender and nearly twice as long 

 as the tibiae ; the elongated, but plain, three first joints yellow, of 

 much decreasing length, the fourth joint deep black, short, broadly 

 flattened, triangular ; the fifth joint of the same shape, hardly some- 

 what longer than the fourth, deep black at the basis, snow-white 

 at the broad tip ; the ungues, pnl villi and empodium inserted at 

 its lower end are of the ordinary structure ; at the upper end there 

 is a distinct elliptical lamel, which, like the joint itself, is deep 

 black at the basis, and snow-white at the tip. Wings grayish- 

 hyaline, rather narrow towards the basis ; near the tip of the first 

 longitudinal vein there is but a slight trace of a swelling of the 

 costa ; the latter, however, is rather stout from this point to the 

 tip of the wing ; the last segment of the fourth longitudinal vein 

 is only moderately inflected upon its middle.
