CTENOPHORA, CURVIPES. 255 



mer with a white ring near the base; hind tibiae arcuate. 

 Halteres ferruginous. Wings with a fulvous tinge, the 

 apical fourth blackish; veins in colour agreeing with that 

 of the surface. 



A Q from Gorontalo (v. Rosenberg).

 1 ; V. d. Wulp, Tijdschr. v. Ent. XXIII. 156. 3. pi. 10, f. 2. 



Two female specimens from Ardjoeno in Java (Hekmeyer), 

 agreeing with the description which I have given in the 

 „Tijdschrift voor Entomologie", except that the base of 

 the wings is more yellowish. 



In this species the joints of the antennal flagellum (Q) 

 are a little dilated towards the underside , in conse- 

 quence of which the antennae seem to be a little serrulated. 



9. Ctenophora incunctans, Walk. 

 Walk. Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. IV. 93. 9. 



I refer to this species a cT from Sangir (v. Rosenberg) 

 and a somewhat defective 9 from Tondano (Forsten). The 

 cf agrees with the short description of Walker , the 9 with 

 his var. /3. With regard to the female , which has only 

 the upperside of the thorax ferruginous and which he des- 

 cribes as the normal form , I consider it as a diiferent 

 species (see n°. 10 hereafter). A more ample description 

 of Ct. incunctans will not be regarded as superfluous. 



(ƒ. Long. 12 mm. — Head and thorax ferruginous , opa- 

 que; with some indications of obscure longitudinal bands 

 on the thorax. Antennae as long as the head and thorax 

 together ; the two basal joints ferruginous ; the third joint 

 fuscous, cylindrical, with a rather long tooth on the un- 

 derside at the end ; the following joints blackish , each with 

 four long, black appendages which are covered with short 

 hairs and arranged in two pairs. Palpi reddish-yellow. 

 Abdomen at the base a little narrowed , reddish-yellow ; 

 the hind border of the second segment and all the fol-
