tibiae with a preapical dorsal bristle; mid tibia with one long and two 

 short apical ventral bristles. Inner cross vein a little before middle 

 of discal cell ; penultimate section of fourth vein fully three-fourths 

 as long as ultimate.

HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) SIGNATA (van der Wulp) 



Minettia signata van der Wtilp, Tijdschr. v. Ent., vol. 22, p. 52, 1881. 



I believe javanensis (de Meijere) is a synonym of this species. I 

 have figured the male hypopygium. (Fig. 82.) 



Localities. — Singapore; Surigao, Mindanao (C. F. Baker). 



The specimen of javanensis submitted by Doctor de Meijere is a 

 female agreeing perfectly with one from Singapore, but in the absence 

 of a male definite allocation as a synonym is inadvisable. 



I consider da}paensis (Frey) is probably this species. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) MEDIOSIGNATA (Frey) 



Mallochomi/za mediosignata Frey, Acta Soc. pro Faiiua et Flora Fenoica, vol. 

 56, p. 34, 1927. 



Male. — This species has much the same appearance as imniacidi- 

 pennis, but the outer cross vein of wing is narrowly and faintly 

 clouded, the central and submedian dark spots on fifth tergite, and 

 the central one on sixth, are large and quadrate, the lateral spots are 

 smaller, and the submedian pair on sixth are almost lacking in type. 



Structurally the two species are very similar, but the upper hair of 

 each series on lower part of sides of face is much longer than the 

 others which is not the case in the other species. The downwardly 

 projecting process of the eighth abdominal tergite is shorter than 

 in iiiiviacuUpennis, and is more rounded at apex. In other respects 

 tlie species are ver}' similar. 



Length, 4 mm. 



Originally described from Montalban and La Trinidad, Luzon. I 

 have it from only Mount Maquiling, Luzon (C. F. Baker). 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) FUSCOBRUNNEA, new species 



Male and female. — Head and thorax varying from brownish testa- 

 ceous to brownish fuscous in color, the thorax with grayish dusting ; 

 abdomen varying much as thorax, but always paler at base. Legs 

 brownish testaceous, femora sometimes darkened, tarsi alwaj^s pale. 

 Wings hyaline, outer cross vein not clouded. Halteres yellowish 

 brown. 



Structurally similar dkliroa (de Meijede), the hypopygium of 

 which is shown in Figure 95, but quite different in color. Closest 

 to grossm (de Meijere), differing in having the outer cross vein un-
