Nealgoa differs from Algoa in its more slender middle legs, 
longer, unfurrowed malar space, eyes set close to the occipital 
margin, long slender antennae, well developed tegulae and short 
wings. 
Nealgoa banksii sp. nov. 
$ . Length 6 mm. Bright fulvo-ferruginous; antennae 
infuscated beyond the third joint; middle femora and tibiae 
weakly infuscated apically; hind femora strongly so; hind tibiae 
fuscous, internally at base and apex pale golden, due to a coating 
of pale glistening pubescence; pulvilli black. Entire body 
without distinct sculpture although microscopically punctulate; 
surface subshining and clothed everywhere with dense, but 
extremely minute pale hair. Palp’ pale yellow, teeth of mandibles 
black. Wings brownish, costal vein dark brown, discal veins 
weak, pale brown, margin minutely fringed. Second and third 
joints of antennal flagellum the longest, subequal, each five 
times as long as thick; first joint distinctly shorter, twice as long 
as the pedicel; apical joints of flagellum gradually shorter and 
more slender, none less than five times as long as thick. Tarsi 
densely pubescent beneath, each joint with a distinct spine at 
each outer angle; longer spur of hind tibia half as long as the 
metatarsus. 
Type in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, from Sea 
Cliff, Long Island, New York (Collection N. Banks). 
As has been stated above, the four genera referred to are 
very closely related, but they form an extremely aberrant group 
and are not readily placed in any family. In 1910, I located 
Algoa in the Emboleminse, which is generally considered as a 
part of the Bethylidae, and pointed out that it was in many 
respects similar to the genera with multiarticulate antennae which 
form the subfamily Sclerogibbinae.. These resemblances are 
mainly in the form of the head, pro- and mesothorax, thickened 
fore legs and abdomen. Pedinomma, also placed in the Em- 
boleminae by Ashmead and others ( v . Brues ’22 ) shows many 
resemblances and is likewise widely distributed, although dif- 
fering in the number of antennal joints. Recently Turner and 
Waterston (’17) have referred Olixon to the Rhopalosomatidae
