Differs from flavipes in having the discal ciliation of the fore wing denser, only a few 

 of the lines standing out distinctly somewhat as in piceipes; and also in having all of the 

 femora black. Fore wings with about 25 lines of discal cilia.

2. UFENS QUADRIFASCIATUS new species. 



Ft -male:— Like flavipes Girault in wings and color of the legs but at once distinguished 

 from it and all other species by the color of the abdomen which is black with four encircling 

 stripes of white distributed over the surface. These white bands appear to be the incisions 

 between the segments but they were present when the insect was captured and are not due 

 to pressure after mounting. In other species of the genus I could not make them appear after 

 application of pressure to the mounts.
