jointed, the last joint elongated. Antennae of the male 10- 

 jointed, the first joint thick and disk-like, the following eight egg- 

 shaped, the last one thicker and longer than the others, all with 

 long hairs, the last one verticillate; antennae of the female 

 6-jointed. the first one thick and disk-like, the following four 

 ellipsoidal, the last one somewhat elonga/te, all .with short 

 hairs. Eyes round, ocelli wanting. Mesothorax greatly arched,, 

 prolonged over the head, without transverse suture; scutellum 

 small; metathorax much arched. The 8-jointed abdomen is 

 narrow and long. Legs elongated; slender; the posterior pair 

 of tibiae somewhat thickened, spurred; metatarsi elongated; 

 claws and pulvilli very small. Wings in outline club-shaped, 

 bare, and bent down; anal angle wanting; anterior margin 

 thickened. Halteres free; venation as shown on pl..36, fig.7. 

 Genitalia of male shown on pl.32, fig.4 (after Kieffer). Antennae 

 of male 11-jointed according to Kieffer (1899). 



Of the larvae and pupae of the memibers of this genus, but one 

 species has been described as far as I am aware ; i. e. C o r y - 

 noneura lemnae Frauenfeld (1866). (P1.36, figs. 1 to 5.) 

 He describes the larvae as filiform, thickened anteriorly, white, 

 with distinct incisures (fig.l). The chitinous pale brown head 

 is oval, Avith tAvo black eye spots. The antennae 3-jointed 1.5 

 times as long as the head. The first thoracic segment is in the 

 form of a truncated cone, upon the ventral side of which is a 

 cephalad projecting process, with a bilobed extremity, each lobe 

 possessing a crown of delicate setae. The next thoracic segment 

 largest, with two oval, stigma-like .spots on each side. The fol- 

 lowing 8 gradually decreasing in size ; the last is nearly cylindri- 

 cal, and has upon the dorsal surface a prominence upon which 

 there are several upright setae. There are two anal blood gills 

 and two prominent anal prologs, at the extremity of each of the 

 latter there is a circle of curved setae. Length 3.7 mm. 



The pupa is described as being smooth and pale yellow in color ; 

 the wing sheaths being one third of the entire length. The ab- 

 dominal segments are distinct; the anal end is blunt, upon each 

 side with a hyaline crescent-sha.ped disk, each with 8 long setae 

 upon its margin (fig. 4 and 5). Length 1.2 mim. The imago 

 resembles C. s c u t e 1 1 a t a Winn, (an European species) .
