33. HYLOTOMA. 71 



both sides of the radial nervure, filling the lower half of the radial 

 cell, and the upper portions of the third and fourth submarginal cells, 

 and almost the whole of the second, at which point it becomes sud- 

 denly narrower, curving through the lower portion of the first to 

 the costa ; a black dot, as in most Hylotomce, in the second cell. 



A large and handsome species, not closely related to any other.

* Some writers assert the presence, and others the absence, of middle spurs 

 on the tibia?. I have not been able to ascertain their existence in any of our 

 specimens ; but as they are probably slender and easily broken off, and as all 

 the nearest allied species possess them. I cannot venture to remove this species 

 from Hylotoma at present.
