106 EMPID^. 



taceous. Wlngn dusky ; casta and veins of the tip bordered with a deep 

 tinge ; small transverse veins of the base bordered with deep brown ; 

 anotlier spot surrounds the fork of the apical vein, and a third includes 

 the ordinary transverse vein ; these markings are rather diffused and 

 cloud-like, but deeply coloured. Abdomen with a blackish indented 

 dorsal stripe. Hinder legs and fore femora testaceous, the latter at the 

 base dusky, glossed toith grey, with 3 spines beneath. Male. Hypopygium 

 nearly as in K. stagnalis, with an elongated reflected style pale at the 

 tip and terminated by a curved seta. Fore femora tufted with hairs 

 beneath at the apex. 



Ill Mr. Halida/s collection. (S. I.) Common enough in many 

 places, such as lakes, rivulets, and on the ground moistened by 

 their overflow, under the shade of trees. (E. S. I.)

Genus VII. -WIEDEMANNIA. 



WiEDEMANNiA, Ztt. i. 1. (1837). Heleodromia p., Ct. 



Corpus gracile. Caput infra oculos elongatum, epistomate angnlatim 

 inflexo bifido. Proboscis crassa, descendens, palpis incumbentibiis. 

 Antenure S-articulatfe; articulus tertius apice attenuatus, quinto 

 brevior ; quintus setiformis, brevis, curvatus. Alee angustfe, vena 

 cubitali furcata, externo-mediis 3 ex areola discali irregulariter pen- 

 tagona excurrentibus, costali margimm posticum attingente. Coxce 

 femoribus breviores. 



Body slender. Cheeks prolonged under the eyes. Epistoma bifid ; its 

 inflection forming an angle. Proboscis thick, declining, with incumbent 

 palpi. Antennaj 5 -jointed; third joint attenuated at the tip, shorter 

 than the fifth ; fifth setiform, short, curved. Wings narrow ; cubital 

 vein forked ; costal vein attenuated around the posterior margin ; 3 ex- 

 terno-medial veins proceeding from the irregularly pentagonal discal 

 areolet. Coxce shorter than the femora ; empodium thickened in a 

 bi'ush like the onyclua. 



Ohs. Clinocera seems to differ from Wiedemannia chiefly in the 

 form of the discal areolet, which is hexagonal, as in Heleodromia ; 

 while in Wiedemannia it is nearly pentagonal, the first and second 

 externo-medial veins springing almost together from the elongated 

 anterior apical angle.
