cross-vein but does not reach back of the fifth vein; anterior 
branch of the fourth vein at right angles to the fourth vein and 
with the upper bend also a right angle but still it is a little roun- 
ed, it ends close to the tip of the third vein. 
Female: The bristle on upper edge of second antennal 
joint twice as long as the third joint; the first joint of fore and 
middle tarsi is nearly as long as their tibise and shorter than the 
remaining four joints taken together; the anterior branch of the 
fourth vein of the wing bends backward a little, its upper bend 
is nearly a right angle and only a little rounded. 
Described from one male and eleven females taken at Winn- 
field, La., July 14, 1918, by G. R. Pilate. 
Holotype and allotype in the collection of Prof. James Hine. 
This differs iiomelegantulus Becker from Brazil (Zool -Botan. 
Gesellschaft, Wien, Vol. xiii, parti, p. 294) in having three long 
slender bristles on the first joint of fore tarsi, while elegantulus 
has only one long bristle on the fore basitarsus; this species is 
also larger. 
This form belongs to the group with sipho Say, scaher Leow, 
and furcatus VanDuzee, but differs in there being only very 
small bristles on the middle tibiae, it differs from the first two 
in not having a row of bristles below on middle tibiae. It also 
has the first joint of fore and middle tarsi longer than any of 
the other species. The female differs from that of sipho in 
having the bristles on upper edge of the first antennal joint long- 
er; in sipho the anterior branch of fourth vein is much more 
bent backward and its upper bend is much more broadly 
rounded, not at all a right angle.
