Type.—M2i\Q, Cat. No. 41076, U.S.N.M. Ty-pe, male, allotype, and 

 9 paratypes, Mount Maquiling, Luzon (C. F. Baker).

HOMONEURA (NEOHOMONEURA) LUGUBRIS (de Meijere) 



Lauxania luffuhris de Meijere, Tijdsehr. v. Ent., vol. 53, p. 126, 1910. 



This species has the head fuscous, with the antennae hardly paler ; 

 thorax fuscous, slightly shining, the dorsum with rather dense graj''- 

 ish dusting and almost imperceptibly vittate, mesonotum testaceous 

 yellow. Abdomen largely testaceous yellow, apices of the tergites 

 black. Legs dusky, the tibiae and tarsi yellowish. Wings grayish 

 hyaline, veins yellow, most noticeably so at bases. Halteres yellow. 



Differs from the preceding species in having the posteroventral 

 surface of mid femur with about four bristles which are much longer 

 than the femoral diameter, the hind femur with similar long bristles 

 on apical half of anteroventral surface, longest at base of series, and 

 laterad of the bristles some fine hairs; preapical dorsal bristle on 

 fore tibia longer than usual, but shorter than metatarsus ; mid tibia 

 with about four posterior bristles. 



I have seen only a Javanese specimen sent to me by Doctor de 

 Meijere.
