Show 255 11. Sixth antennal joint as long, or very nearly as long, as the first. ( F. albipes and F. elongata, known only from the short descriptions of Fabricius, are not inserted in this table, and the descriptions of them below are but adapted translations from Fabricius's Entomologia Systematica.) 11. albipes Fabr. Black; mouth- parts pale; antennas fuscous; posterior border of thorax, base of tegniina, wings and legs whitish; abdomen shining, the borders of the segments reddish ; forceps small, black; of medium size.

Head, thorax, and legs tawny; antennae brownish, with two middle joints tawny; tegmina and abdomen black, the former with a large, basal, yellow spot, not reaching the suture; wings yellow at base, black at tip; forceps rather stout, simple, incurved. Body 18.5"""; forceps 4mm. Described from Cayenne, but is presumed to have been found in Massachusetts in a single instance, since there is a specimen in the Harris collection ( described by me as Spongophora bipunctata), catalogued " May 20, 1827, from Z. Cook, esq." 14. lugubris Dohrn.

Fusco- ferruginous; antennae 14- 15- jointed; basal joint, sides of pronotum, and legs testaceous ; tegmina and wings dull luteous, the former half as long again as the pronotum; forceps of male usually as long as the abdomen, horizontal, depressed, and dilated at the base, and beyond rather strongly arcuate, tapering to a point, the extreme base of inner edge tuberculato- denticulate, with a distinct inner tooth at base of arcuate portion.
