 Div. n. 



Veins of the wings like those of Div. S. Meig. {Zweijl. i. 147. pi. 4. f. 17), 

 with the exception of the subcostal vein, which is not connected with the 

 costal, but emits a veinlet at its tip to the radial. 



7. Limnobia impeessa, n. s., foem. Fusca, capite nigro, thoracis lateribus 

 testaceo-marginatis, pectore cano, abdomine lutescente fasciis fuscis, pedibus 

 pallide fuscescentibus, genubus testaceis, alis- subcinereis venis nigris.

 thorax with testaceous borders. Pectus hoary. Abdomen somewhat

 wings 8 lines. 



Div. n. 



Veins of the wings much like those of Div. E. Meig. (Ztveijl. i. 125. pi. 6. 

 f. 2), but the veinlet which connects the subcostal vein with the radial is 

 far beyond the base of the fork of the latter, the cubital parts from the 

 radial at some distance from the veinlet which connects it with the 3rd 

 externo-medial, and the veinlet between the 3rd externo-medial and the 

 subanal is very near the base of the discal areolet. 



8. Limnobia eubbescens, n. s., mas. Ferrugineo-rufa, capite pedibusque 

 nigris, pectore ventre femoribus basi coxisque rufescentibus, abdomine 

 vitta dorsali nigricante, ahs fusco cinereis venis stigmateque nigricantibus.

Div. n. 



Veins of the wings much like those of Div. E. Meig. (Zw. i. 125. pi. 6. f. 2), 

 but the veinlet which connects the subcostal vein with the radial is beyond 

 the base of the fork of the latter, and the veinlet between the 3rd externo- 

 medial vein and the subanal is opposite the middle of the discal areolet. 



9. Limnobia pyeehocheoma, n. s., mas. Ochraeeo-rufa, capite nigro?, 

 pedibus nigris, femoribus basi coxisque fulvis, alis cinereis venis fuscis.

Div. n. 



Diners from all the other divisions of Limnobia by the contorted petiole of the 

 radial and cubital veins, and by the radial vein which near its base forms an 

 angle emitting a branch ; externo-medial veins simple ; discal areolet sub-
