Legs : coxae and trochanters all heavily white scaled. Hind femora 

 dark blue dorsally, ventrally white, especially at the base; tibiae dark blue; 

 metatarsi dark ; first tarsal joint basally white-banded, otherwise the tarsi 

 are dark, sometimes a brilliant purple ; ungues simple, equal, and rather 

 straight. Mid legs all dark except a light band at the base of metatarsal 

 and first tarsal joints. These bands are conspicuous in some lights and 

 hardly suggested in otiiers. Fore legs dark, Ungues on fore and mid 

 legs large, unequal, and the larger one uniserrate. The legs show, as a 

 whole, blue on femora and tibite, while the tarsal joints are brown or 

 purple, the metatarsi between the two. 



Wings clear and sparsely scaled; scales on the costa showing the blue 

 iridescence strongly. Fork cells short. First submarginal cell about 

 one-half the length and one-half the width of the second posterior, the 

 stems very long, in the former nearly three times the length of the cell. 

 Supernumerary cross-vein nearly the length of the mid and more than 

 four times its length exterior to it ; the posterior cross-vein nearly twice as 

 long as the mid, which it meets. The fork of the fifth long vein is very 

 far interior. Halteres light. The median scales are usually broad at the 

 apical end, and remind one of the " inflated " scales on the body. 



Length : 1 1 mm. Habitat : Salog, Guimaras Island, P. L Taken 

 April loth. 



Described from one very perfect specimen raised by Dr. L. T. Le 

 Wald, I St Lt. Assistant Surgeon, U. S. Army, in the laboratory (Base 

 Hospital) at Iloilo, Panay, from larvce brought from Salog on April ist. 

 No data as to length of larval and pupal stages were sent. A dried larva 

 accompanied the adult, but as it is much shrivelled no description is 

 undertaken.
