these in the apex of the aedeagus and in the form of the pygofer process, as 
well as in the apex of the style which is different from all other species of 
Paromenia. 
Paromenia propria, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 213, PAGE 268 
Length of male 10.1-10.5 mm. Head with median length of crown from 
slightly greater than one-half to six-tenths interocular width and approx- 
imately four-tenths transocular width, with or without a transverse concavity 
before ocelli, lateral clypeal sutures not attaining ocelli; face with muscle im- 
pressions distinct. Forewing with veins darkened or not; first hind tarsomere 
with length equal to or greater than combined length of second and third tar- 
someres. Male with pygofer moderately produced, with a small quadrate 
apical projection, macrosetae irregularly arranged in a group parallel to 
posteroventral margin, with a number of microsetae on ventral half of disk; 
plates triangular, extending about as far posteriorly as pygofer apex, with 
multiseriate macrosetae; style not broadly expanded in apical portion, trun- 
cate apically; connective somewhat T-shaped, with a median carina on basal 
half; aedeagus with pair of broad lateral lobes in basal half, apex rounded 
and without processes. Female unknown. Other structural characters as in P. 
lugubris, n. sp. 
Color sordid yellow to dull gray, with a pink spot in apex of second apical 
cell of forewing and occasionally with a similar adjacent spot in apex of inner 
apical cell. 
Holotype male, La Forestiére, Upper Maroni River, French Guiana, July 
(Le Moult), an additional male specimen from French Guiana (NCS). One 
male from Essequebo River, British Guiana (BM). Holotype on indefinite 
loan to USNM. 
P. propria, n. sp., is closely related to P. rossi, n. sp., from which it differs in 
its narrower pygofer process, its lack of apical aedeagal processes and its 
broader lateral aedeagal lobes. 
Paromenia rossi, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 214, PAGE 268 
Length of male 12.1-12.7 mm, of female 12.3 mm. Head with median 
length of crown one-half interocular width and one-third transocular width, 
with transverse concavity before ocelli; face with muscle impressions distinct. 
Forewing with membrane including apical portions of all apical cells, the 
veins darkened or not; first hind tarsomere with length slightly greater than 
combined length of second and third tarsomeres. Male pygofer with a broad 
quadrate apical undifferentially sclerotized process extending dorsally, 
macrosetae in an apical group; plates triangular, extending approximately as 
far posteriorly as pygofer apex, with macrosetae multiseriate; style slightly ex- 
panded at apex, with apical margin concave; connective a transverse bar with
