pubescent, and of mintita entirely glabrous, except in a few abnormal 

 specimens, I have no hesitation in referring both species to the same 

 genus, because of the similarity of venation and genitalia of the J. The 

 valves of the ovipositor of the % are much more curved in viiniita than 

 in senilis. 



The species was very common on rank vegetation near rapids in Coy 

 Glen. 



Phylpdoiea subcosiata, n. sp. 



(J .—Eyes black, wi;h a purple reflection. Antenna;, first segment, 

 elongate-cylindrical, somewhat broader distally ; second globular ; third 

 to last similar to one another in shape, cylindrical-ovate, with four or five 

 long black hairs arranged in a partial verticil about the center ; the last 

 few joints are more slender and shorter than those preceding ; antennie 

 black, with a thick gray pubescence throughout ; the extreme base of 

 segment three is brown in some specimens. Rostrum and palpi black. 

 Entire head black, with a gray pruinosity. Pronotum light gray pruinose ; 

 mesonotum black, with a thin yellow bloom on the sides, middle of pra;- 

 scutum shiny black ; postscutum gray-pruinose. Metanotum gray. Sides 

 of thorax, including base of cox;e. thickly gray-pruinose. Fore leg, lip of 

 coxa, trochanters and basal third of femur light yellow ; remainder of 

 femur, tibia and tarsus dark brownish-black ; middle leg similar to fore, 

 but apical half of femur dark coloured ; hind leg similar to fore, but only 

 the apical third of the femur is dark, tibia paler brown ; tarsus as in fore 

 leg. Halteres rather long, yellow throughout. Abdomen above black, 

 the dorsum of each segment being paler in the basal two-thirds ; genitalia 

 black ; beneath dirty blackish-yellow. 



Wings hyaline, stigma rather indistinct, brown ; veins at base of wing 

 strongly yellow, giving this colour to the wing at this region ; subcosta is 

 yellow for its entire length, the other veins for a short distance only ; 

 radius and costa of a paler brown than the other veins. 



9 .—Similar to i , but genital segment light brown. 



Subcosta long, fork very close to tip, Sc, being about twice as long as 

 Sc,. ending anterior to cell R;,. Radius long, cross-vein r at tip ; radial 

 sector often angulate, with a spur at the angulation, rather short, longer 

 than R.,, but not as long as R,,. Vein Rj.j ^bout equal to the basal 

 deflection of Cu, Basal deflection of R,..-, shorter than Rj., ; cross-vein 

 r III two-thirds the length of the ba<al deflection of Cu,. Petiole of cell 

 M/(vein M,...), variable in Itngih, from as long as the r-m cross-vein, to
