Agapetus medicus new species Another species indistinguishable from the miniitus group on the basis of general characteristics but radically different on the basis of genitalia, having the claspers long and truncate and the tenth tergite also long and truncate but lacking the apical dentation of minntiis and illini. Male.—Length 5 mm. Color and general structure as given for illini. .'Abdomen and genitalia as in fig. 10. Tenth tergite bilobed from base, each lateral lobe long and deep but narrow; truncate at the apex and bladelike, the ventral and apical margins without serrations or teeth, the upper margins concave and joined by membranous folds. Cerci slender and slightly sinuate; the apex narrowly rounded and the dor- sal half bearing a cluster of long, slender setae; the appendage attaining half the length of the lobes of the tenth tergite. Claspers, seen from the side, rectangu- lar, four times as long as high, the apex truncate except for a slight production near ventral margin and having a sclerotized ridge running across the mesal face at apex.
