ted before the middle, a minute spot in third interspace, an 
oblique pterostigmal band widened before and behind, some 
scattered spots, and extreme apex dark brown on the fore wing. 
Band before middle almost obsolete, and pterostigmal band 
widely interrupted on the hind wings. 
The form of the wing in this species is peculiar in that the 
posterior border is nearly a regular curve from base to apex, 
making the wing wide near the middle. This is shown in the 
figure. The type is in the Banks collection . 
Habitat, Sherbrooke, Canada. 
Panorpodes McLachlan. 
The genus Panorpodes was founded by McLachlan in the 
Trans. Ent. Soc. of London, 1875, page 188 for a Japanese 
insect. The rostrum is short, and triangular; the 7th and 8th 
abdominal segments are not modified, but of the form of the 
6th and previous ones. The tarsal claws are simple, and the 
wings unicolorous. Only one species has been recognized in 
North America. I have not been able to procure specimens of 
this species.
