Miller. — New Species of Macquai-tia. 



209 



Intra-alar bristles long, 3 in number (g). 



Swpra-aJars (h) consisting of 3 long reclinate bristles and a weak 

 shorter spine between the two anterior chaetae 

 and slightly toward the intra-alar system. 



Post-alar bristles long, 2 in number (I). 



ScxfeUar bristles long ; two pairs of lateral 

 {am and pm), one pair of apical (»), and one 

 pa'r of short discal bristles (o) ; the anterior p 

 lateral (o/m) and apical chaetae are of equal -. 

 length ; the posterior laterals (pm), being the 

 longest of this system, extend to the posterior 

 margin of the 2nd abdominal segment. 



Thorax tawny, with fuscous reflections, 

 which are darker posterior to the transverse 

 suture ; -i dark-brown longitudinal stripes upon 

 the dorsum. As the thorax is covered with 

 short bristles, and those of the dorsum have 

 a dark spot at the insertion, this portion is 

 rendered darker in certain lights. 



ScHtellnm ochreous-vellow, with cinereous reflections. 



Pig. 4. — Showing chaetotaxy 

 oi the dorsum and sciitel- 

 lum of M. humaraensis. 



Winys. 



The wings clear, costal spine absent, margin normal ; costa ending just 



before the tip of wing, veins tawny ; 3rd longitudinal vein bristly 



between its origin and the middle transverse, which, situated about the 



middle of the di.scal cell, is slightly oblique; 4th longitudinal vein normal. 



Fig. 5. — Wing of M. kumaroensis ; X 12 times, 

 reaching the costa before tip of wing, rounded at the bend, and slightly 

 curved into the first posterior cell, which, being open, is roughly a 

 right - angled triangle ; 5th longitudinal vein curved toward the 4th 

 vein, not forked and not reaching the margin of wing ; posterior trans- 

 verse sinuate, parallel to last section of 4th vein, about two-thirds of the 

 distance from middle transverse to bend of the 4th vein (fig. 5). 



Tegulae moderately large ; greyish-white, with a narrow yellow hairy 

 margin, otherwise bare. 



Abdomen. 



Oval, broad, greatest breadth across posterior margin of 2nd segment, 

 the basal segment narrowest ; dorsally and 

 ventrally convex ; 4 segments visible from 

 above ; apical segment triangular ; a broad 

 black irregular medio-longitudinal stripe, 

 otherwise marked with dark-yellow and 

 golden reflections ; macrochaetae strong, 

 bristle - like ; lateral bristles on all the

 (fig. 6) and 4th segments.
