like and apically backward directed and bifurcate. Penis ending 
apically in 1 dorsal, 2 lateral and 1 ventral spine. Ectoprocts weakly 
sclerotized. 
Female genitalia (Fig. 4B-C): A well-sclerotized subgenital plate 
present. Bursa copulatrix a strongly sclerotized tube with a pair of 
large transverse dorso-lateral apodemes. Apically dorsally a well 
sclerotized structure, which in lateral view is dentiform. 
Immature stages unknown. 
Distribution: California. 
New material examined: None. 
Notes: Description from Meinander (1974). I agree with Mein- 
ander that the apical ends of the appendages of the 9th sternum are 
attached to the transverse plate. It is likely that the appendages of 
the 9th sternum possess setae apically, although Meinander does not 
mention them in his description. All related species have such setae. 
Aleuropteryx dragoonica Johnson, new species 
Type: Holotype male; Arizona; USNM. 
Head: Brown, slightly reddish in some specimens. Antennae 
20-22 segmented; brown. Scape and pedicel about twice as long as 
broad, proximal flagellar segments about as long as broad, median 
and distal flagellar segments 1.5 times as long as broad. Ventral 
spine on male pedicel sub-terminal. 
Thorax: Brown with dark brown shoulder spots. 
Wings: In fore wing, R 4+5 coalesces for a considerable distance 
with Mi +2 ; Cu 2 distinctly sinuous, brownish with lighter areas near 
veins. Hind wing with membrane lighter, greyish. Fength of fore 
wing 2.4-2 .8 mm, hind wing 2.1-2.4 mm. 
Male genitalia (Fig. 5A-C): Ring of 9th sternum dorsally forms a 
folded horizontal plate. Process of 9th sternum with 4 caudally 
directed processes: the 2 lateral ones originate on the dorsal surface, 
bend medially at about the midpoint in their length and curve 
dorsally; 2 median processes, 1 dorsal and 1 ventral. A pair of 
slender spines originate cephally of process of 9th sternum and end 
caudally of transverse plate. Spines project antero-dorsally for most 
of their length and then bend caudo-dorsally. Appendages of 9th 
sternum connected distally to transverse plate and bearing 4 setae 
caudo-laterally to transverse plate. Transverse plate with 2 curved 
processes free dorsally and joined ventrally to form a laterally
