THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 289 BLENNOCAMPIN.-E— DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES— SYNONYMICAL NOTES. BY ALEX. D. MACGILLIVRAY, ITHACA, N. Y. The genera of the subfamily Blennocampinje, as understood by the writer, can b^ differentiated by the following characters : front wings with the radial cross-vein, the radio-medial cross vein, and the free parts of R^ and Rg always present ; the medio-cubital cross-vein joined to the vein Sc + R + M at or near the origin of media, its distance from media always less than one-half the length of the cross-vein, and always parallel to the vein M3 + 4 ; the base of the third anal vein atrophied, or at least in part, so that the anal cells are of the petiolate type ; the antennae with nine segments ; the body short and stout. Selandria ( Blennocampa) floridana, Cr. — This species belongs to the genus Pareophora. Neopareophora, n. gen. — Malar space broad and distinct, the eyes being distant from the bases of the mandibles ; antennae with the third segment subequal in length with the fourth ; mesothoracic epimera not with a transverse suture below the episternum, separating off a prDesternum ; claws simple, without a tooth. Type Neopareophora Martini^ MacG. Neopareophora Martini, n. sp. — Body black, with the labrum, the mandibles, the prothorax, the tegulse, the mesopleura, side lobes of the mesonotum, the legs, the venter and the tip of the abdomen yellow or rufous ; cerci elongate ; saw-guides obliquely truncated at apex ; wings hyaline. Length, 4 mm. Habitat : West Springfield, 'Mass. (J. O. Martin). This species is named after my friend, Mr. James O. Martin. Neopareophora scelesta, n, sp. — Body black, with the labrum, the mandibles for the most part, the front legs, more or less infuscated at base and apex, and the middle legs beyond the apices of the femora rufous ; cerci hardly projecting ; saw-guides large and obliquely rounded to an apex above ; wings infuscated. Length, 7 mm. Habitat : Black Mts., North Carolina (William Beatenmuller). This species resembles Selandria ( Monophadnus) sceiesta, Cr., very closely, and for some time was considered the same as that species. Phymatocera ?iigra, Harrg.— Through the kindness of Mr. Harring-ton, I have been able to examine type specimens of this species, and find that it belongs to the genus Neopareophora. Konow has referred this species incorrectly to Rhadinocercea. August, 1908
