length of first tarsomere equal to combined length of two succeeding tar- 
someres. Male pygofer with posterior margin regularly convex, with few 
macrosetae on posterior half; style with distinct preapical lobe; connective Y- 
shaped with arms widely divergent, keeled medially; aedeagus with dorsal 
margin subangularly expanded near base; paraphyses symmetrical. 
Color sordid tan, except crown which is brick-red except for area of muscle 
impressions, and for a few tinges of red on pronotum, and scutellum which is 
dark red; apical third of forewing except appendix, inner apical cell and 
apical portion of second apical cell, fumose; face black except dorsal portion 
of clypeus which is brick-red medially, bordered with yellow on each side, and 
genae each of which bears a large brick-red area; propleura brick-red, re- 
maining thoracic pleura and legs, yellow except apices of tibiae of first and 
second legs and all tarsi which are brick-red to reddish brown. 
Holotype male, Bogota, Colombia (RMS). 
Teleogonia epicharis, n. sp., is closely related to T. infuscata (Melichar) and to 
T. nigrifrons Schmidt, both of which have the aedeagus strongly expanded 
along the dorsal margin. It differs from both of these species in its more 
strongly produced head, the brick-red dorsal markings, in the more angulate 
head and in the face being darker than in infuscata. 
Teleogonia arcuata, NEW SPECIES 
FicurE 129 
Length of female 19.0 mm. Head with median length of crown varying from 
one-half to almost seven-tenths (type) interocular width, and from almost 
four-tenths to slightly less than one-half transocular width, anterior margin 
slightly acutangular in dorsal view; lateral clypeal sutures not attaining ocelli. 
Pronotum with transverse rugae; forewing with membrane including all of 
apical cells and apical portions of anteapical cells; hindleg with femoral setal 
formula 2:1:1 or 2:1:1:1, length of first tarsomere equal to or slightly greater 
than length of two succeeding tarsomeres. Other external characters as in T. 
epicharis, n. sp. Male unknown. Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior 
margin rather abruptly narrowed apically, its median portion narrowly 
produced and truncate, disk carinate medially in anteapical portion; apical 
portion with a pair of arcuate carinae on each side of median portion which is 
also carinate at its apex. Ovipositor with bases of first valvulae parentheses- 
shaped in ventral view each with a median lobe bearing a lateral extension; in 
lateral view with lobe strongly extended ventrally, as in T. fusca (Walker) (fig. 
128), but not as broad. 
Color tan, with (type) or without a fuscous diagonal vitta on each side of 
crown across dorsal portion of lateral clypeal suture and ocellus to base of 
crown, with a diagonal castaneous area across anteapical portions of an- 
teapical cells, extending to costa, and a castaneous area in apical portion of 
third and fourth apical cells; face black to brown, except dorsal portion of | 
clypeus, with a broad yellow horizontal stripe under each eye; thoracic pleura 
yellow, slightly marked with black; legs yellow to brown (type), tarsi black.
