GENUS T^NIORHYNCHUS 363 



$. — Head with pale greyish scales, a dark line running down the 

 middle ; palpi as long as the proboscis, dark brown at the tip, paler 

 basally, with a small pale band about one-third of the length from the 

 base ; proboscis dark brown, slightly paler towards the tip ; antennae 

 banded brown and white, with yellowish-brown verticils. Length.— 5 to 

 5*5 mm. 



Habitat. — New Zealand ; Bupengary, Queensland. 



Note. — Personally I should prefer to place this species and the next 

 in Jantliinosoma, the purple legs with their yellow thighs being most 

 characteristic of that genus, while the wing scales seem of rather inter- 

 mediate form than characteristic of Tce^iiorhynclius.

Plate xiii, fig. 12a, $ Palpi; 12b, End of g- antennae; 12c, 3 Fore 



tarsal claws (after B. M. Monograph). 



Wings uniformly but rather scantily clothed with yellowish- 

 brown scales. Tarsi uniformly deep metallic purple. Thorax 

 iridescent yellow and purple, two patches at its hinder part 

 appearing of the latter tint in all lights. Abdomen deep yellowish- 

 bronze with narrow yellow basal bands to the segments. Pro- 

 boscis deep purple unhanded. May be distinguished from pre- 

 ceding species by all, instead of only the first four, abdominal 

 segments being banded, and the fork cells of J being very short. 



2 . — Head brown, with long ochreous upright forked scales, a pale 

 border round the eyes, numerous small pale scales over the occiput and 

 pale flat scales at the sides ; golden-brown bristles projecting over the 

 eyes ; clypeus pale brown ; palpi densely' clothed with bronzy scales and 

 hirsute ; antennae deep brown, with narrow pale bands at the verticils ; 

 proboscis deep brown. Scutellum purple in the middle and yellow 

 laterally ; pleurae marbled with bronze and yellow with two distinct 

 patches of whitish scales. Legs covered with deep metallic purple 

 and bronzy scales all over, except the base and venter of the femora, 

 which are bright ochreous. Ungues equal and simple in the J , while 

 the (J has those of the fore legs unequal, the larger one with a large 

 and a sinall basal tooth, mid claws with one tooth, hind equal and 

 simple. Length. — 4 '8 mm. 



Habitat. — Selangor, Straits Settlements ; Thayetmyo, Upper Burmah
