2nd segment striate; rest of abdomen smooth. Parapsidal furrows 

 present. Postscutellum and metanotum unarmed. Antennae 

 12-jointed; scape long and slender; pedicel scarcely twice as long 

 as wide; Ist funicle joint a little longer than the pedicel; 2nd 

 short er than the Ist, one-half longer than wide; 3rd slightly 

 longer than wide; 4th as wide as long; club 6-jointed, jointsl — 5 

 much wider than long; 3rd slightly the longest and widest. Fore- 

 wings almost reaching apex of abdomen; moderately broad; a 

 little infuscated; marginal cilia rather short; discal cilia fine, 

 very dense; submarginal vein attaining the costa a little beyond 

 the middle of the wing; marginal vein two-thirds as long as the 

 stigmal which is moderately long, very oblique, its apex curved 

 disto-caudad ; postmarginal vein twice as long as the stigmal; 

 basal vein indistinct, very oblique; venation light brown. A species 

 resembling bellus Dodd and venustus Dodd.

 cribed from one $ caught by sweeping in forest, 24 th August,

 joints lemon yellow. 



Head slightly wider than the thorax. Thorax finely poly- 

 gonally sculptured. Abdomen as wide and a little longer than 

 the thorax; Ist segment short, striate; 2nd segment occupying 

 almost all the abdominal length. Antennae 11-jointed; scape equal 

 to next five joints combined; pedicel one-half longer than wide; 

 Ist funicle joint as long and as wide as the pedicel; 2 — 4 as wide 

 as long; club 5-jointed, the joints distinctly wider than long, 

 loosely jointed; Ist joint the longest and widest. Forewings 

 extending well beyond apex of abdomen ; broad ; hyaline ; marginal 

 cilia moderately short; discal cilia moderately coarse and dense; 

 submarginal vein attaining the costa about the middle of the 

 wing; marginal vein short; stigmal vein moderately long and 

 oblique; postmarginal vein scarcely twice as long as the stigmal; 

 venation pale yellow; indistinct. A species resembling olympus 

 Dodd and ocnus Dodd but easily distinguished by the large Ist 

 club joint, as well as by several other characters.
