Primaries — The costa attains the margin before the middle : the sub- 

 costal, which is faint towards the base, sends a branch to the margin from 

 before the middle, two others near the end of the cell, another beyond 

 the cell and becomes furcate before the tip, one of the branches going to 

 each margin. Cell closed by a very short oblique discal vein without 

 branches. The median sends two branches to the margin before the end 

 of the cell, and becomes furcate behind it. Submedian furcate at base, 

 Wing lanceolate, with moderately long ciliae. 



Secondaries — Narrower than primaries, short, tip produced and margin 

 deeply incised beneath it ; costal margin slightly excised from before the 

 middle to the tip. Costal rather short, attaining the margin at the 

 excision. Subcostal simple, rather faint towards the base, attaining the 

 margin just before the tip. Cell unclosed. No discal nervure, but an 

 independent branch which arises near the median and going to the hind 

 margin. Median three branched, the first arising near its middle (and 

 rather minute) from the second. Submedian and internal short and 

 indistinct. 



Head smooth with appressed scales. Tongue moderately long, scaled 

 at the base. Maxillary palpi microscopic. Labial palpi overreaching the 

 vertex, second and third joints of about equal length, the second being 

 slightly thickened with scales beneath. Antennae simple, about half as 

 long as the wings. 



In repose the antennae are carried upon the wings, which are deflexed, 

 the head is applied to the surface, and the posterior end of the abdomen 

 and wings are elevated. It runs very rapidly, and is easily disturbed. The 

 structure, especially that of the antennae and wings, allies it to Trypanisma 

 Clem., but there is something in its appearance which reminds one of a
