tended with blood. Their position is, therefore, doubtful. This 
example is unfortunately much too imperfect to enable one to 
draw up a correct diagnosis ; but it is apparently,a new and undes- 
cribed species. The structural characters of the antennae clearly 
indicate that it is a form intervening between those species posses- 
sing very long segments to the antennae such as Ph. papatasii, 
Ph. mïnutus, etc., and Ph. antcnnatus, Newst. which lias remar- 
kably short antennal segments. 
Wings relatively narrow and pointed. Antennae of 16 segments 
third segment very short, about one and two thirds the length of 
the fourth ; terminal segments with unusually hair-like scales. 
Palpi with the third segment much longer than the preceeding; 
terminal segment apparently short but these organs are so much 
obscured that it is impossible to give a correct interprétation of 
their morphological characters.
