Cryptocheilus idoneum Banks Male: Forewing to mm. long; apex of clypeus with the middle half truncate, projecting laterad of the truncation as a short lobe; median notch of sixth sternite broadly U-shaped with a rounded bot- tom; subgenital plate with a median longitudinal raised triangular area having an attenuate point reaching to the apex, the sides of the raised areas distinct but not sharp; apical margin of subgenital plate truncate or somewhat retuse, with a fringe of short stout setae.

Coloration as in the female. Female: Forewing 9 to mm. long; clypeus in side view flatter than in the other Nearctic species of the genus, in front view with the apex rather strongly, arcuately concave; mandible (when not eroded) about as long as the clypeus is wide, its apical tooth rather broad. Black. Body pubescence blackish; lower corners of face dusky stramineous; wings blackish or largely orange-yellow, according to the subspecies. There are two subspecies, differing only m wing color. No inte- grades between them are yet known and it may eventually develop that each should be considered a full species. 6a.
