Kalobittacus ramosus, new species Description based on one male specimen originally preserved dried but now in alcohol. Head: Eyes black, separated in front by about two thirds width of rostrum at base; vertex and occiput yellowish brown with a blackish area around ocelli; rostrum amber colored; antennal bases yellowish brown (flagella missing in holotype). Thorax: Pleura pale yellowish brown, dorsum slightly darker; small blackened areas at ventral apices of mesepisternum and mesothoracic meron and along postero-dorsal margins of mesoand metathoracic mera; pronotum without conspicuous bristles; scattered hairs sparsely distributed on all sclerites, abundant only on coxae. Femora yellowish, those of the hind legs slightly incrassate (fig. 2); tibiae yellowish, narrowly darkened distally; tarsi dark on front and middle legs, first tarsal segment of hind legs yel lowish, the others darkened. Membrane of wings {?g. 1) faintly tinged with yellow; stigmata very dark brown; front wings with an irregular apical brown spot extending from about the tip of vein R3 through all of cell 3rd R4 to near the tip of vein Mi, also with spots over first fork of Rs, subcostal cross-vein, fork of R, and branching of M from Cui (see fig. 1); hind wing with similar spots, the apical spot somewhat more extensive, with paler areas in cells 3rd Ra and 2nd R5, and with spots over subcostal cross-vein and branching of R fused. Vein 1A in front wing extending only as far as branching of M from Cui; 2A about two thirds as long as 1A. Vein 1A in hind wing co alescing with Cu2 for most of its length, crossing to posterior margin of wing near level of branching of M from Cui; 2A sinuate, about one third as long as 1A; 3A apparently absent. No costal cross-vein. Abdomen: Tergites and sternites yellowish brown, the membranous parts paler; tergites 2-6 bearing one or more long stout setae on lateral margins. Ninth segment greatly enlarged, the dorsal appendages of ninth tergite about twice the length of basistyles (fig. 4) sparsely covered with long hairs; tenth (anal) segment mostly membranous, its dorsal tip reach ing the upper margins of the dorsal appendages. Dorsal appendages con spicuously branched, each with one elongate, somewhat flattened projec tion extending caudad, one similar projection curving ventrad, and two shorter, thicker projections, one of these roughly conical in shape, directed
