of the species. The antennae of the female are 3.7 mm. long. Each 
consists of 42 segments, instead of 60 as in the male, and the individu- 
al segments are smaller than in the male. The hairs on the antennal 
segments are shorter than those of the male and form a different pat- 
tern (figure 1). A ring of twelve conspicuous setae is located near 
the distal end of each segment and two prominent hairs occur on one 
side of each segment, slightly distal of the ring just mentioned; these 
two hairs are a little longer than the hairs comprising the ring and 
they almost always project in the same direction, as shown in figure 
1 a. The more proximal part of each antennal segment includes about 
20 short hairs which are arranged somewhat irregularly and which 
do not form a second ring, as in the male. The ovipositor of the 
female is like that of other Inocellia ; in the specimen at hand it is 
5.5 mm. long. The body length of the female, exclusive of the anten- 
nae and ovipositor, is 6 mm. 
It seems virtually certain that this new female, which was collected 
at Chipinguy Mesa, near Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, July 28, 
i960, belongs to pilicornis. A male, collected by Dr. Howden at the 
same time, is like the holotype, except that the white markings on the 
abdominal tergites are somewhat smaller. 
Although the female turns out to have antennal characteristics as 
distinctive as those of the male, I do not believe that a new genus is 
necessary for this species. Other features, including the abdominal 
structures of the male and female, are similar to those of other species 
of Inocellia .
