Johannsen, Ent. News, 1907; Tanypus Johannsen, Bul. 86 
Lhe Hype OF Tas GENUS 1 CIMCECLES (“PUMCtIpSMmmiIS 
Meigen). To this genus belong all species which I described under 
Tanypus in Bul. 86, with the exception of T. posticalis Lund- 
beck. The following new species will find a place in the key given 
in Bul. 86 with stellatus, from which it differs in its wing 
markings and leg coloration. 
Protenthes pulcher n. sp. 
Female. Head, including proboscis, and basal joint of the 
antennae cream-white, the flagellum pale fuscous, thirteenth and 
fourteenth antennal joints somewhat enlarged, fifteenth joint dark 
brown at tip; labrum and palpi fuscous; occiput white with a brown 
spot back of each eye; eyes black, deeply emarginate. Thorax 
cream-white, the median stripe brown, blackish anteriorly, divided, 
posterior border emarginate, lateral stripes deep brown, produced 
backwards to the scutellum, scutellum white, scutellar suture nar- 
rowly brown; metanotum and sternum brown; pleura with brown 
spots as follows: a pear-shaped spot on each side of sternum sepa- 
rated from the brown of the sternum by a narrow white line, a tri- 
angular spot cephalad of this, and three small ones near base of 
wing. Abdomen wanting. Legs white, the tips of all femora, tibiae 
and metatarsi widely dark brown, second joint of all tarsi wholly 
white, third, fourth and fifth joints wholly brown, fourth joint 
linear. Wings thickly hairy, with a brown spot covering the cross 
veins, a broad fascia extending from apex of R, to the posterior 
margin of the wing, the band widening wherever it is crossed by a 
vein and constricted again behind it, a subtriangular spot near the 
posterior margin behind the cross veins, and a small one on the 
anal looe, Wenation ihike Wage Or JP, CUIICIEORaAS jooe wae 
media slightly more curved down at the extremity [Bul. 86, pl. 27, 
fig. 15]. Halteres pale. Length about 2% to 3 mm. Old Forge, 
INES. 
Genus TRICHOTANYPUS 
Kieffer, 1906 
T. posticalis Lundbeck is the only representative of the 
genus. The absence of the vein R,,, and the retracted position of 
the M-Cu cross vein are the distinctive generic characters. I have 
a specimen of this species from Ithaca, N. Y.
