Sept. 24, 1937, Mill s, Frison & , 1 cf, Fig. 9. — Meophy!iis ayanus conspicuously flecketl with luterous markings in the membrane which are somewhat obscured by the tawny hair that covers the entire wing. Antennae and legs pale yellow, the spines ot the tibiae and tarsi black. General structure as described for preceding species. Genitalia as in fig. 109. Tenth tergite with the basal portion rounded and humplike, the apex attenuated into a beaklike structure following the line of the oedagus; the apparent cerci form a pair of clavate knobs above the base of the beak. Claspers twice as long as wide, the lateral margin convex, the inner margin concave and with a cup- like mesal process arising near middle; the margins and lateral surface are cov- ered with a scattering of long and med- ium length setae. Apical portion ot oedagus beaklike, extending under the beak of the tenth tergite. Ninth sternite with the apical margin produced to form a pair of wide mesal lobes, sur- mounted by a pointed projection on the meson; this mesal projection is the hump in the center of a caudo-mesal sclerite set at right angles to the ninth sternite. Female.—Similar in size, color and general structure to male. The charac- ters of the female genitalia have not yet been worked out in this genus, so that for the present the female can be distin- guished only by the color. Holotype, male. — Louisville, Kentucky: Oct. 8, 1037, Bear Grass Creek, Ross & Burks. Allotype, female.—Same data as for holo- type. Paratypes.— Kentuckv.—Same data as for holotvpe, 6cf, 39. Neophylax stolus new species A close relative o{ ay anus, this species differs from it in the narrow projection (it the ninth sternite and in the twistetl condition ot the clasper. Male.—Similar in size, color and general structure to ayauns. Genitalia, fig. 110, similar in general to ayanus but with the toUowing d
