THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 235 



which 2.2 is proboscis. Habitat: Parang, Mindanao, P. I. Taken in 

 December. 



The wing-scales suggest Tceniorhynchus, but the eyes are more con- 

 tiguous than is usual in that genus and the scutellar scaling is peculiar. 

 The colouring suggests already described Tcetiiorhynchi, but the legs are 

 entirely unbanded. 



Uranotienia Powelli, n. sp. — Female : head covered with brilliant 

 blue flat scales, except a band of dark brown flat scales, and a few dark 

 brown fork scales in the na'pe, a very few bristles projecting forward 

 between and around the eyes ; antennae brown, verticels and pubesence 

 brown, basal joint testaceous ; palpi dark brown ; proboscis dark brown, 

 very long ; clypeus brown, with " frosty tomentum " ; eyes dark brown. 



Thorax : prothoracic lobes testaceous, covered with dark brown flat 

 scales and a few brown bristles ; mesonotum light testaceous on the 

 cephalad and laterad portions, and dark brown in the median portion, 

 widening near the wing and extending to the scutellum, the whole covered 

 with very slender dark brown hair-like curved scales ; scutellum light 

 testaceous in the median part of the mid lobe, otherwise dark and covered 

 with dark brown flat scales ; pleura dark brown, heavily covered with white 

 flat scales ; metanotum brown. 



Abdomen : first segment entirely brown-scaled, the rest banded with 

 brilliant white scales near the apex of the segments, the brown base of 

 each segment wider than the brown apex ; venter with soft light yellow 

 scales. 



Legs : coxa? and trochanters almost white, with a few dark scales ; 

 femora all light ventrally, dark brown dorsally, while on the cephalic 

 aspect there are on the fore legs two brilliant white spots, on the mid legs 

 a basal white line extending nearly half the length of the femora, with two 

 white spots nearer the apex, and on the hind femora two white spots, 

 otherwise the legs are very dark brown, though the scales may look even 

 ochraceous in some lights ; ungues small, simple and equal. 



Wings clear, heavily scaled with dark brown, scales ; the cells are 

 short, the first submarginal the same length as, but much narrower than, 

 the second posterior ; supernumerary and mid cross-veins meet and are 

 nearly equal, the posterior a trifle shorter than the mid and about its own 

 length distant. Halteres light stem and dark knob, but heavily dark 

 scaled on both. The scales on the costa are noticeably spine-line. 



Length, without proboscis, 4.5 mm.; proboscis, 3 mm. Habitat: 

 Camp Wilheim, Yayabas, P. I. (Dr. W. A. Powell.) Taken Jan. 3, 1909.
