Genus Sabethoides . 
585 
Sabethoides undosus. Coquillett (1906). 
Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash. VII., 4, 186 (1906). 
Near S. confusus, Theobald, but the dorsum of the abdomen 
is not white-scaled in the front angles of the segments. 
Habitat. —West Indies. 
Sabethoides purpureus. Theobald (1907). 
Mono. Oulicid. IV., 617 (1907). 
Rio de Janeiro. 
Type in the British Museum. 
Sabethoides (?) identicus. Dyar and Knab (1907). 
Sabethes identicus . Dyar and Knab. (1907). 
Journ. N. York Ent. Soc. XV., 207 (1907). 
“ ? . Identical with S. undosus, Coq. ; we are unable to demon¬ 
strate any differences whatever between the adults. 
Four specimens, Tabernilla, Canal Zone, Panama (A. Busck), bred 
from larvae in bamboo-joints. 
The larvae are allied to those of S. undosus , but differ in many 
particulars, so that a distinct species is indicated, in spite of the 
apparent identity of the adults. The air-tube is short, without any 
basal enlargement and but two pairs of single hairs; the body of hairs 
are finer, less coarsely stellate; the dorsal hooks of the seventh seg¬ 
ment with a tooth instead of simple; maxillae less stout with seven 
small teeth instead of four large coarse ones.” 
Note. —This if allied to Coquillett’s undosus is of course a 
Sabethoides , not Sabethes. The species (?) is probably invalid

Sabethes (?) canfieldi. Dyar and Knab (1907).* 
Journ. N. York Ent. Soc. XV., 207 (1907). 
“ $ . Proboscis shorter than the body, strongly swollen at the 
apex, black; clypeus prominent, smooth, shining black; tarsi of 
antennae black with a whitish pubescence; occiput clothed with flat 
dull metallic-green scales; prothoracic lobes approximated, clothed 
with brilliant blue and violet scales; mesonotum clothed with dark 
greenish scales; scales of the scutellum metallic green and blue; 
metanotum deep brown, with a number of long pale bristles; abdomen 
* This is certainly not a Sabethes. It possibly comes in Sabethoides. 
The description is far too vague to place it.—F. V. T.
