Psyche 
[September 
gins of clypeus; dark antennal band notched below, with 
prominent median extension, above widely separated from 
first vertex row. First vertex row a median triangle and a 
dash each side, often connected ; second a pair of submedian 
spots and a dash each side ; posterior to these spots a dark 
triangle, with apex anteriad. Scape dark ventrally, pedicel 
dark laterally, flagellar segments dark with narrow apical 
pale bands. Maxillary palpi usually infuscated, labial palpi 
pale, the third segment dark, moderately swollen. Median 
pronotal stripes converge at furrow, then diverge and re- 
curve ; lateral stripes curve out at furrow then back toward, 
and sometimes touch, median stripe; a short sub-marginal 
stripe usually present. Mesoscutellum with a dark stripe 
and posterior dot each side, sometimes connected; me- 
tascutellum with a single dark mark. Pleurae mostly dark. 
Coxae dark with pale band ; fore femora pale, dark poster- 
ior stripe; mid and hind femora dark with pale basal and 
preapical rings; mid femora with pale dorsal and posterior 
stripes. Tibiae pale, dark postbasal, preapical (except hind 
femur) and apical bands; a thin dark stripe on ventral sides 
of mid and hind femora ; tarsal segments 1, 2, 3, and 5 pale, 
with dark apical bands, 4 sometimes wholly dark. Hind 
tibial spurs a little longer than first tarsal segment. Femoral 
setae mostly white, tibials about equally black and white ; on 
pleurae and nota white except one or two dark on marginal 
pronotal stripe; on abdomen mostly white, in the male 
shorter and with much greater number dark on segments 
6-9 than in the female. 
Abdomen ( S ) : dark, tergites 1-8 with a pale stripe on 
each side, which is widened at the middle and end of each 
segment, becoming obscure on the apical segments. Ventral 
median pale stripe at apex of 3rd and 4th segments, and at 
base of 4th and 5th segments. Length of segment 8 approxi- 
mately three times width at base; ectoprocts slender, 
straight, slightly divergent, and bluntly rounded, greatest 
length approximately 2/3 that of segment 8. Gonarcus and 
parameres: gonarcus arms widely divergent; mediuncus 
short. 
( $ ) : dark, tergite 2 pale at base and apex, tergites 3-7
