which 3 to 17 are branched ; the last joint is small. Length,

Abdomen metallic steel-blue, with purple reflections. Head 

 and antennae dark-brown. Thorax black, shining. Halteres 

 yellow. Legs blackish-brown, the proximal portions of the 

 femora yellowish - brown. Wings clear, except at their 

 bases, where they are slightly tinged with yellow ; a rather 

 pale-brown spot at the apex of the marginal cell, extending 

 across the base of the second submarginal. Only a minute 

 spot at the origin of the second longitudinal vein. Discal cell 

 open. Antennae in the male 20-jointed, of which 3 to 15 are 

 branched. Length, <? 13 mm. ; wing, ^ 12 mm. The female

Hah. Wellington (Hudson). 



Genus Cekozodia, Westwood (1835). 



" Antennae 32- to 39-jointed, all but the first two and the 

 last with a long branch. Eostrum not longer than the head ; 

 palpi rather long. Thorax small ; abdomen narrow, of equal 

 breadth, very slightly broader at the forceps, which is formed 

 as in Gynoplistia. Legs rather stout ; tibiae with spurs ; 

 empodia present. Venation of wings as in Gynojjlistia, ex- 

 cept that the subcostal cross-vein is almost obsolete, so that 

 the auxiliary vein appears to end in the first longitudinal ; 

 first submarginal cell rather long, its proximal end but little 

 distad of the proximal end of the second submarginal ; the 

 second posterior cell with a long petiole ; the great cross- vein 

 near the middle of the discal cell " (Osten-Sacken).

 stigma are infuscated ; a large pale-brown cloud between the 

 stigma and the discal cell ; a smaller one at the origin of the 

 praefurca ; yellowish-brown clouds along the veins. Antennae 

 with 39 joints. Length, 25-26 mm. " (Osten-Sacken).
