This distinct little species resembles 11. verbasci (Osborn) at first 
sight, though the reduction of the anterior marginal bristles of the pro¬ 
thorax and the absence of the usual sense cone from the inner surface of 
the third antennal segment ally it more closely to Jl. (jramini>i Hood. 
The form of the antennal segments, especially the third, and the color¬ 
ation, are distinctive. 
It is named tor Mr. J. C. Fanre, formerly an entomological student at 
Cornell University, whose interest in this order of insects has materially 
increased our American list.
