axis. The body is poorly preserved, showing only portions of 
the thorax and abdomen, and an irregular structure anterior to 
the mesothorax that probably consists of a small pronotum and 
the head, although details are not preserved. Arising from the 
head region is one antenna (1.2 mm long); the other antenna, al- 
though broken away from the head region, is more clearly pre- 
served for a greater length (2.2 mm). The segments of the antennae 
that are visible are about twice as long as broad. 
Paratype: no. 7533ab; collected at Elmo in 1932. This consists 
of a less clearly preserved specimen than the holotype, with one 
fore wing outstretched, and the others overlapping the abdomen 
and each other. The fore wing is 2.8 mm long and 1 mm wide. 
One antenna is preserved for 1 mm, and its segmentation is like 
that of the holotype. 
In addition there is one other specimen in the collection: no. 
7534, with the wings overlapping the abdomen; the fore wings are 
3 mm long. 
Apheloneura amplia, n.sp.

Fore wing: length, 4.8 mm; width, 1.5 mm. Venation similar to 
that of minutissima, but RS arises somewhat nearer the wing base, 
CUA2 is unbranched, and CUA1 (not CUA2, as in minutissima ) 
continues the straight line of the stem of CUA. Cross veins are 
preserved in several areas of the wing, much as in minutissima. 
The hind wing (partially preserved in paratype 7525) is apparently 
like that of minutissima. 
Holotype: no. 8604 M.C.Z., collected in 1927. This consists of 
a very well preserved fore wing. 
Two other specimens, not designated as types, are in the collec- 
tion, as follows: no. 7525, showing the thorax, abdomen, and basal 
parts of all four wings, with the structure of CUA very clear; no. 
7522, a more poorly preserved specimen with all wings overlapped. 
This species is conspicuously larger than minutissimia. The pres- 
ence in the collection of three specimens, all of them of the larger 
size and all having the same structure of CUA1 and CUA2, shows 
that these are not simply over-sized specimens of minutissima. 
I have not yet been able to reach any conclusion about the 
ordinal position of the Apheloneuridae. There are two obvious
