2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.74 



discal cell; anal cell wide open; second vein joining costa at a right 

 angle. 



Length, 4.5 to 6 mm. 



Described from three males, Shillong, India. 



Type. — Male, Cat. No. 40301, U.S.N.M.; one paratype will be de- 

 posited in the British Museum. 



Only one species of Aphoeha^tmi has been described from India 

 heretofore, ceylordcus Brunetti, which has the thoracic and scutellar 

 bristles yellow, as well as the erect hairs on thorax and abdomen; 

 the description indicates that the abdomen is more or less banded, 

 which is not the case in A. dauseni. 



APHOEBANTUS SERATUS. new species 



Male. — Differs from A. dauseni only in the following: The front 

 at vertex is considerably narrower; the middle femora are black on 

 basal half or more; the hind femora have a row of distinct spines on 

 lower inner edge from base almost to tip; the wings are paler, the 

 only distinct infuscation being at extreme base and in the subcostal 

 cell; the first and third veins on the dorsal surface are smooth. 

 while under high power they appear dotted in A. dauseni as if 

 haiiy, although I can see no hairs on them in my specimens. Third 

 iintennal joint missing. 



Length, 5.2 mm. 



Described from one male, Shillong, India. 



Type.—U^lQ, Cat. Xo. 40302, U.S.N.M. 



EXOPROSOPA SIPHO. new species 



Female. — Ground color black except the tibiae and basitarsi. 

 Wings deeplj' infuscated on basicostal half with spots on the forks 

 of veins in the clear portion. 



Front of head at vertex about one-fifth the width of the head, 

 widening to one-third at the antennae. Thinly sprinkled with 

 elongate yellow appressed scales and erect l)lack hairs. Face with 

 the same covering, slightly brown at edge of mouth. Proboscis con- 

 siderably elongate, when directed forward exceeding the antennae. 



Thorax rather sparsely sprinkled with the same scales as on the 

 head, more dense on scutellum; some black bristles in front of wing 

 and on the postalar region, the latter also having rather dense and 

 somewhat elongated 3-ellow hair. Mesonotum and scutellum also 

 with erect delicate hairs which are more brown than black in the 

 middle part. Pleura with a dense tuft of black hairs on upper half 

 of mesopleura, the lower half with thin and delicate l)ut rather long 

 hair. Sternopleura with a few mostly yellowish hairs wliicli extend 

 upward along the anterior pait of the pteropleura, the metapleura 

 with \owcr dense bristlv hairs which are about one-half vellow.
