254 CTENOPHORA. COMPEDITA. 



The descriptions quoted refer to the Q. I consider as 

 belonging to this species three male specimens from Ha- 

 roeka (Hoedt), Celebes (v. Rosenberg) and Am? (v, Ro- 

 senberg). They are bright ferruginous ; the black mark- 

 ings of the thorax are wanting and on the abdomen there 

 is but a small black spot on the 5th and 6th segment 

 (in the specimen from Celebes only on the 6th) ; the 

 upper part of the genitals is also black or fuscous An- 

 tennae a little longer than the head and thorax, reddish- 

 yellow; the third joint with a brown tooth on the under- 

 side; each of the following joints with four long, black 

 and hairy appendages, which are arranged in two pairs 

 and directed downwards ; in consequence of which the an- 

 tennae have a very plumose appearance. Legs reddish- 

 yellow ; femora with a black tip ; tibiae brown , towards 

 the base with a pale yellow ring , black at the tip ; the 

 last four joints of the tarsi blackish. Halteres reddish- 

 yellow. Wings perfectly agreeing with my figure quoted 

 above.

Closely allied to Ct. compedita. Uniformly testaceous

 a black dorsal spot on the 5th , 6th and 7th segments 

 of the abdomen; ovipositor as long as these three seg- 

 ments, shining black, with the apex slender, pointed, and 

 reddish-yellow. Antennae hardly longer than the head; 

 the third joint longer than the two basal joints together 

 cylindrical and without a tooth; the fourth joint oblong- 

 oval; the following ones round; the apical joint subulate. 

 Femora yellowish red , with black tips and a dense , de-
