GENUS UliANOT.ENIA 489 



$ . — Head and appendages yellowish-brown ; the proboscis much 

 dilated at the tip, and the basal joint of the antenna- pnrplish-grey. 

 Pleurae and coxae very pallid. Wings with dark tooth-like scales on the 

 costa ; and the scales clothing the veins, for the most part, short and 

 truncate ; the fork-cells proportionally longer than in most of the genus. 

 Legs dark, pale on the undersides near the base, and with pale spots 

 or bands at the apices of the long joints. Venter with pale scales. 

 Length. — Under 2 mm. 



Habitat. — Quilon, Travancore, India. 



Remarks. — By no means a typical member of the genus. The spiny 

 costa recalls that of my Steg. hrcvipaipis. 



2. URANOT^NIA ANNULATA, Theobald (Monog. II, p. 250). 



The whole of the last two, and apices of the other hind tarsal 

 joints whitish ; fore and mid legs unhanded, deep brown. Thorax 

 deep chestnut-brown, sharply separated from the pale grey pleurae, 

 but without any of the glistening patches characteristic of the 

 genus, beyond creamy spots on the prothoracic lobes. Abdominal 

 segments black, with grey apical bands. Anterior fork-cell much 

 shorter than the posterior. 



Head small, entirely clothed with whitish scales but for a median 

 line of dark cells ; proboscis, antennae, and the very uimute palpi, dark 

 brown. Scutellum clothed with nearly black flat scales. Legs yellowish- 

 gvey at the base and on undersides of the femora, and with minute knee- 

 spots, fairly distinct on the hind legs, elsewhere deep brown. Fore and 

 mid tarsal claws of $ , simple but very unequal, those of J hind legs, 

 and of 2 , equal and simple. Length. — About 2 mm. 



Habitat. — Bonny, West Africa. 



3. URANOT^NIA GEOMETRICA, Lutz MS. (Monog. II, p. 247). 



Last two hind tarsal joints entirely white, with conspicuous 

 apical pale bands on the other hind tarsals and on those of the 

 other legs. Thorax reddish-brown with two paler lines, and 

 glistening azure-blue patches before the roots of the wings, on 

 the prothoracic lobes, and on a median patch just before a bare 

 patch in front of the scutellum. Abdomen black with median 

 white apical patches. Anterior fork-cell much shorter than the 

 posterior. 



The head and its appendages, save for som.e blue scales on the 

 occiput, are almost black throughout, and the groimd-colour of the 

 thorax and abdomen piceous. The segments of the latter are obscurely 

 basally banded with a lighter brown than that of the nearly black scales
