New Species of Bothriocera 
13 
Bothriocera daedala sp. n. 
Male. Length, 3.0 mm.; tegmen, 3.4 mm. Female. Length, 3.1 
mm.; tegmen, 3.7 mm. Frons and clypeus pale yellow, lateral mar- 
gins slightly darker, vertex and margin of antennal pit piceous; genae 
and antennae pale yellow. Pronotum pale or dark, pale laterally; 
mesonotum fuscous. Ventral surface of thorax pale, legs slightly 
darker; abdominal tergites and sternites fuscous, genitalia fuscous. 
Tegmina pale basally, mostly dark distad of a line from stigma to 
apex of clavus, a pale spot just distad of stigma, a small spot distad 
of this on margin ; a round pale spot posterior to stigma in middle of 
tegmen; apical cells almost entirely pale to apical margin; a small 
dark spot between Mia and Mlb; apical cells of Cu and clavus wholly 
dark. Wings smoky, pale basally, a pale spot apically. Insect in life 
powdered blue-grey. 
Anal segment of male truncate apically in a straight line. Peri- 
andrium tubular, with a large broad lobe on left side near apex 
directed dorso-anteriorly to a blunt point. Penis looping for slightly 
more than a semicircle, a small lobe with about eight teeth on dorsal 
side in middle; an irregular line of teeth from inner side near base of 
penis to dorsal margin one third from apex. Genital styles with inner 
border concave at base, obtusely angled apically; apex truncate. 
Median process of pygofer between styles in form of an isosceles 
triangle with convex sides, apex pointed. 
Described from 64 males and 71 females collected' by the 
writer at 1,000 ft. in mountain forest near the Imperial Road, 
Dominica, B. W. I. (June 11-30, 1939; June 15-29, 1940) 
resting on low bushes. This species is distinguished by the 
pattern of the tegmina, which is somewhat similar to that of 
B. signoreti Stal, and by the male genitalia. 
Bothriocera hastata sp. n. 
Male. Length, 3.2 mm.; tegmen, 3.6 mm. Female. Length, 3.6 
mm.; tegmen, 4.0 mm. Frons piceous, testaceous laterally; clypeus 
fuscous, narrowly pale laterally; antennae pale. Vertex, pro- and 
mesonotum piceous. Femora smoky, protibiae and tarsi smoky, 
mesotibiae and tarsi testaceous, metatibiae and tarsi very pale. Ab- 
domen and genitalia fuscous. Tegmina pale yellow basally; a fuscous 
spot at apex of costal cell, a broad dark band from stigma to apex of 
clavus, tegmina distad of this line mostly fuscous; a transparent spot
