 the base black, a little grey pruinose; the tarsl with the apex of 

 metatarsus and the following joints black. Legs with short, black or 

 brown hairs, coxæ pale-haired; front coxæ with black bristles at the 

 apex, posterior coxæ each with a black bristle; front femora a little 

 thickened, with a small elevation below towards the apex, and with 

 short bristles below, stopping on the elevation and here crowded, 

 besides with long, fine tiairs on the antero-ventral side, and stronger 

 hairs on the posterior side; front tibiæ slightly dilated below about 

 the middle, with a bristle above, somewhat long hairs on the postero- 

 ventral side in about the apical half, and a ventral bristle below the 

 middle ; the front tarsi have long hairs below on the lirst joint, and 

 still longer on the second; the first joint has a pair of long, thin 

 bristles at the apex; middle femora a little thickened and excised 

 befoi-e the apex, with a row of short bristles below, shortest and 

 crowded at the excision; middle tibiæ thin at the base, the other 

 part thickened. dilated and somewhat curved with the posterior or 

 postero-ventral side concave; it has a curved dorsal bristle above, a 

 row of long antero-dorsal bristles, and a row of shorter antero-ventral 

 bristles, both rows directed forwards, further a row of short, curved 

 bristles below on the ventral margin, directed backwards, and in- 

 creasing a little in length towards the apex, and finally a group of 

 short, strong bristles on the postero-ventral side near the base; the 

 apical bristles are long and curved; the middle metatarsus is short, 

 much shorter than the long second joint; it is prolonged beyond the 

 insertion of the second joint on the anterior side as a strong tooth 

 with some flat spines at the apex; below it has a curved spine at 

 the base, and above a strong tooth with some bristles; besides there 

 is a row of bristles on the anterior side; the other tarsal joints have 

 longish hairs on both sides, longest anteriorly; hind femora with a 

 preapical bristle, hind tibiæ with two rows of dorsal bristles, and 

 about two ventral bristles; hind metatarsus somewhat shorter than 

 the second joint. Wings brownish tinged. veins black, the convexity 

 on the last part of the discai vein a little darkened ; the posterior 

 cross-vein about in the middle, the part of the discai vein from the
