Holotype male, ‘“‘Abitagua”’, Ecuador, 1200 meters, May 25, 1939 (W. 
Clark-Macintyre) and one male, Bafios, Ecuador (NCS). Holotype on in- 
definite loan to USNM. 
A. punicea, n. sp., is similar externally to A. Ayala Distant (of which males 
are unknown) but is larger than either of the two available females of the lat- 
ter. The pygofer of punicea is somewhat similar to that of A. excelsa Distant, 
but is less strongly produced. The dependent aedeagal process of excelsa is 
shorter and broader than in punicea and does not extend basally as far as the 
curvature of the shaft. 
Apulia revoluta, NEW SPECIES 
FiGuRE 52 
Length of male 16.0 mm. Head with median length of crown ap- 
proximately eight-tenths interocular width and almost six-tenths transocular 
width, anterior margin narrowly rounded in dorsal view, without a carina at 
transition from crown to face, without a median coronal fovea, lateral clypeal 
sutures not attaining ocelli; antennal ledges each with anterior margin convex 
in lateral view; face slightly flattened medially. Pronotum with posterior 
margin declivous, concave medially, disk punctate and weakly rugose; fore- 
wing with membrane including only inner apical cell, veins indistinct, with a 
number of anteapical supernumerary crossveins; hindleg with length of first 
tarsomere approximately equal to combined length of second and third tar- 
someres. Male pygofer not strongly produced, apex broadly rounded, with a 
number of regularly spaced anteapical and apical macrosetae, without 
processes; plates triangular, not extending posteriorly nearly as far as pygofer 
apex, with a few uniseriate macrosetae near midlength; style extending 
posteriorly much farther than apex of connective, without distinct preapical 
lobe, apical portion directed posterolaterally, extremity convex; connective 
broadly U-shaped with a strong median carina; aedeagus elongate, slender, in 
lateral view, with dependent process recurved and lying parallel to aedeagal 
shaft, with numerous minute close-set setae near midlength of dependent 
process; paraphyses absent. Female unknown. Other structural characters as 
in generic description. 
Color of crown, apical portion of scutellum, and commissural border of 
clavus, reddish purple, remainder of dorsum yellow, pronotum tinged with 
purplish, wings with a few irregular black discal markings in apical half; face , 
concolorous with crown except genal ‘ila which are yellow, legs with 
femoral apices and tarsi black. 
Holotype male, ‘“‘Chaco’’, Bolivia (RMS). 
The male genitalia of A. revoluta, n. sp., are very similar to those of A. grisea, 
n. sp. (below), but differ in the form of the aedeagus which is less strongly 
curved at the base in revoluta, and with the dependent process tending to di- 
verge from the aedeagal shaft in lateral view in grisea.
