is apparently the longest. Postmarginal vein slightly ex- 
ceeding the marginal, the stigmal still shorter, distad 
curved, long, the marginal short as compared with the 
submarginal (not half it). Hind tibial spurs single. 
Submarginal vein broken at apex (pale). Mandibles bi- 
dentate, the second tooth widely truncate but acute-angled 
at the corner nearest the acute first tooth. 
Antennae 12-jointed with two ring-joints, three club 
joints, the pedicel exceeding any funicle, short, the club 
not more than half the length of the funicle (at least dis- 
tinctly shorter than it). Metatarsus a half longer than 
wide, equal to the (hind) tibial spur, short; in the middle 
leg, the first joint of the tarsus is twice longer than wide, 
also equal to the tibial spur (middle), which is also longer. 
Furrows deep, complete. Pronotum transverse, the pro- 
podeum much less so, with a delicate though distinct 
median carina. Palpi concealed. Fringe present, abun- 
dant, short. 
The male is the same but the abdomen is still more 
compressed and narrower, the scape shorter. From the 
type of Neosy stasis (types compared), this genus is non- 
metallic, the metatarsus much shorter, so the marginal 
vein (equal to the submarginal in the other') ; the abdo- 
men is flatter; and so forth. Named for the great 
Abraham Lincoln. 
IAncolnd ctldrovandii Girault, nov. 
Black and finely polvgonallv reticulate, the legs 
lemon colour excent the hind coxae and the femora 
(especially in legs Nos. 1 and 3), except widely at apex: 
antennae dusky, the fore wings distinctly so except proxi- 
mad from the base of the bend of the submarginal vein, 
the bristles of the latter long and slender, those of the 
marginal short. The immediate base of the wing is also 
dusky, the hyaline areas of the wing being as noted, a 
rectangle against the marginal vein, the area between the 
postmarginal and stigmal veins and a longer crescent mid- 
longitudinally below the middle of the wing and beginning 
somewhat distad of the proximal margin of the infusea- 
tion. No basal nerve but the ciliation extends a half way 
to the base of the wing (more or less) except caudad ; 
from the apex of the submarginal vein, a wide, oblique 
(caudo-proximad), naked path occurs upon the proximal 
half of the bend of the sub-marginal vein, three-fourths or 
more the way across and bordering the proximal margin
