three discoidal veins by having, like thisfpecies, an anastamosing veiniet. running in¬ 
wards from the base of the first discoidal. This species occurred upon pine bushes 
the latter part of May. 
The Pine-busu lace-wing (II. Pinidumus). Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with 
smoky, the ma'ginal dotsall of a uuiform brown color; veins of the fore wings white 
with brown rings; veinlets black margined with dusky, forming a few brown spots, of 
which three or four form a curved row across the disk. Body pale dull yellow, sides 
of the thorax brown. Wings expand 0.45. This is nearly related to tvtutrix, from 
which, however, it is readily distinguished by having a slender anastamosing 'einlet 
connecting the second longitudinal vein with the base of the third longitudinal or the 
first of the three which branch from the rib-vein. It may frequently be met with 
upon pine bushes, from May ti\l the last of July. 
The Glassy lace-wing (H . hyalinatus ) is much like the preceding, but the wings 
are more clear and glass-like, their veins very faintly mottled with dusky, the veinlets 
colorless instead of brown and not in the least margined with dusky, and in the mid¬ 
dle of the inner margin forward of the medial series of veinlets, are two or three 
veinlets connecting the first longitudinal vein and its branches with the margin. The 
marginal dots are unicolor. Wings expand 0.46. Possibly this is only a variety of 
the preceding. It occurs with it upon [line bushes in May, June and July. 
The Little friend lace-wino (II. amiculus). Two discoidal veins only arising 
from the inner rib-vein, as in the remaining species. Wings hyaline mottled with 
smoky dots and irregular unequal spots; margin of the fore wings with a regular 
series of black dots, one between the apex of each of the veins, but none upon the 
tips of the veins; veins brown dotted with black, more conspicuously so in theaxilla 
and the area outside of the rib-vein; veins of this last mentioned area (the Costal) 
forked; the two rib-veins rather distant from each other, with an anastamosing vein- 
let towards their base; second discoidal fork anastamosing with the outer branch of 
the first near its base, then forking, with the outer fork anastamosing twice with the 
rib-vein and once wittfthe inner fork; slightly forward of this last is another veiniet 
connecting the inner fork of the second discoidal with the outer fork of the first dis- 
coidal’and a second, commonly continuous with this last, connecting the outer with 
the middle fork of the first discoidal; another veiniet is situated half way between 
this and the base of these forks, which is the first of a series extending inwards and 
bordered with dusky, which color is continued onwards to the inner margin; there 
are also three veinlets towards the base. The hind wings are hyaline and without 
spots or veinlets; the margin has a dot between the tip of each vein. Body dull 
brown, antenme yellowish, legs dull white. Wings expand about 0.42. Taken from 
May until October, on peach trees and on wild shrubs, both in this State and Illinois. 
The Western lace-wino (H. occidenialis) has the wingshyalineand not mottled 
with smoky dots or clouds, but adorned with two faint parallel lines of a more dusky 
tinge in all the cells; margin dusky; veins and veinlets robust, black ; a black dot on 
the margin between the tips of each of the veins; outer fork of the first discoidal 
vein anastamosing with the rib-vt in near its base instead of with the second discoidal 
as in the preceding species, the other veinlets similar in situation to those of the pre-
