Legs, as far as preserved, pale brown. Wings hyaline, stigma and veins light brown, the former rather broadly ovate. Radial cell short and broad, the first section of the radius fully two-thirds as long as the second; discocubital vein com- posed of two straight segments, which meet sharply at almost a right angle; submedian cell considerably longer than the median; discoidal nervure broken much below the middle; areolet rather small, quite indistinctly closed; very obliquely rhomboidal, receiving the recurrent nervure near the tip. Type.—No. 2268, M. C. Z., Florissant, Col. (No. 6876, S. H. Scudder Coll.). One specimen, not very well preserved, but extremely characteristic on account of the angular course of the discocubital vein. This peculiarity and its general appearance make me place it here. Parabates memorialis, sp. nov. (Fig. 62.) Probably a female. Length 17 mm. Dark colored, the abdomen conspicu- ously banded. Wings distinctly infuscated. Head apparently strongly transverse, the antennae stout, but very much tapered apically; joints near the base of the flagellum approximately as long as thick, those toward the apex becoming very little shorter in proportion to their width. Thorax rather shining, its surface punctulate although faintly so. Metathorax apparently with a few carinae, but not completely areolated. Abdomen large and stout, much compressed, club-shaped apically and subpetiolate at the base; first to fifth segments pale colored, with dark apical cross bands; apex of abdomen dark. Ovipositor not preserved although the specimen is probably a female. Legs, especially the posterior pair, long and stout; dark colored, the tarsi pale. Wings ample, Fig. 62.— Parabates memorialis, sp. nov. Type, quite distinctly infuscated; stigma and veins fuscous, the former lanceolate in form.
