TETANOCERA. 100 



1. T. clara LOEW. 9- Seta anteimarum nigro-plumosa ; vittse in 

 fronte Isevigatse tres ; alse parce et grosse reticulatse, vena transversa pos- 

 teriore obliqua. 



Bristle of the antennae plumose with black, front with three shining stripes, 

 reticulation of the wings sparse and coarse, posterior transverse vein 

 oblique. Long. corp. 0.32. Long. al. 0.32. 



A beautiful large species. Pale yellow. Face white, not much 

 receding. Palpi and proboscis whitish-yellow. Front rather dark 

 ochreotis, with three very shining longitudinal stripes ; the middle 

 one distinctly widened towards its anterior end, the lateral ones 

 near the borders of the eyes and reaching only very little beyond 

 the foremost frontal bristle, hence not much transgressing the 

 middle of the front. Antenna? ochreous, the two first joints short, 

 beset with black hair, the third a little longer than the two first 

 taken together, moderately broad and only moderately pointed ; 

 the black bristle with dense, very long, black hairs. Neither the 

 lateral borders of the front, nor the yellow occiput have black 

 spots. Thorax yellowish, with two brownish middle stripes sepa- 

 rated by a broad line, and on each side with a more indistinct and 

 less complete lateral stripe. Scutellura with brownish middle and 

 yellowish borders. Pleura whitish-yellow, with a narrow brown 

 longitudinal stripe on their superior border. Abdomen without 

 distinct markings. Legs whitish-yellow, the end of the tarsi only 

 a little blackish ; posterior femora with a short, not very -close 

 pubescence on their under side, and only one or two longer black 

 bristles on the second third. Wings large and rather broad, some- 

 what tinged with tawny ; the whole stigma and the broad clouds 

 of the small and of the posterior transverse veins brownish-black; 

 also the tip of the wing margined with brownish-black ; before the 

 second longitudinal vein there are some small, rather indistinct, 

 brownish-black spots, and about four or six larger and darker 

 transverse spots between the second and third longitudinal veins, 

 running from vein to vein, the last of which are most distinct, and 

 include small rudiments of veins rising from the second longitudinal 

 vein ; between the third and fourth longitudinal veins there are, 

 beyond the small transverse vein, two or three brownish-black 

 transverse streaks running from vein to vein; on the posterior 

 side of the fourth longitudinal vein there are only two very small 

 brownish-black spots, one before, the other behind the small 

 transverse vein, which, I suppose, are not always present. The
