Psyche 
[June-September 
of wings projecting posteriorly almost one-half the median elytral 
length with external margins converging gradually to the truncated 
distal extremities. 
Abdomen broadened slightly in the middle, with basal segment 
notably narrower than anal segment ; lateral folds moderately promi- 
nent on second and third terga ; posterior margin of terga four, five, 
and six bordered with small tubercles, becoming obsolete laterad ; anal 
segment transversely rectangulate with sides subparallel, posterior 
margin truncated, but with a small lobe laterad above dorso-internal 
margin of each forceps. 
Forceps, as in figure 7, about three-fourths as long as the normally 
exposed portion of abdomen, relatively smooth, slender, and straight 
except for gentle incurving of the apical third, a prominent, slightly 
rounded tooth just anterior to middle on dorso-internal margin; inner 
faces rather strongly excavate anteriorly, this becoming obsolete 
proximad from tooth; ventro-internal margin bearing a few irregular- 
ly spaced tubercles anterior to tooth ; pygidium, as in figure 7, with 
sides parallel at base, converging acutely to the narrowly rounded 
apex; subgenital plate slightly less exposed than the last tergum, its 
lateral margins oblique and broadly rounded into the somewhat con- 
cave distal margin; concealed genitalia as in figure 8. 
Femora moderately inflated, anterior pair most strongly so, and 
subequal in length to anterior tibiae; tarsi long, slender, their ventral 
margins (particularly of metatarsi) bearing numerous, stiff setae; 
posterior metatarsus subequal to the combined length of the remaining 
two tarsal segments, the ventral surface with 2 rows of setae along 
the outer (lateral) margin, inner (mesal) margin with 2 longitudinal 
rows and numerous shorter marginal setae which are arranged in 
about 12 to 15 short, oblique, comblike rows to give a “stepped” or 
“staircase” effect. (The combs are best seen on clean specimens, in a 
mesal view, with magnification of 50 or more times, in a strong light.) 
Coloration: Similar to brunneipennis ; head, pronotum, median 
third of wing scales and abdomen dark chestnut brown, paler on 
antennae, elytra, anal segment and forceps; outer two-thirds of wing 
scales yellowish-white; limbs honey yellow; eyes black. 
Measurements (in millimeters) : Body length (exclusive of forceps 
and pygidium), 9; median length of head, 1.5; length of prono- 
tum, 1.5; median length of elytron, 2.5; internal length of exposed 
wing scale, 1.1; length of forceps, 4.3. 
Female (allotype) : General form as in male, but somewhat more 
robust and differing as follows: head broader and longer; eyes larger
