48 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(i) Phaeogramma vittipennis, sp. nov. 



^ %. Long. corp. 3 — 2>\ "^"1. ; al. 3 — 3^ mm. Front yellow in front, a little 

 darker behind, orbits and vertical triangle cinereous with bright almost silvery tomentum, 

 occiput with a row of light yellow short and thick setae running entirely round from 

 vertex to chin, the uppermost four on each side longer and stouter than the rest, 

 with an interval between each set which is just behind the ocelli, behind the uppermost 

 fronto-orbital bristle on each side is also a similar light yellow seta, face cinereous below 

 the antennae, cheeks, chin, antennae and palpi yellow, proboscis a little darker. Dorsum 

 of thorax very light cinereous, with a central longitudinal olive-brown stripe, which is 

 narrow in front but becomes much broader behind, besides the macrochaetae the entire 

 surface is covered with short golden hairs, pleurae and scutellum yellowish-brown, 

 halteres obscure brownish with lighter knob. Abdomen dark olive-brown, shining ; in 

 the male covered with rather long golden hairs, in the female these hairs are extremely 

 short so that the segments appear pitted rather than hairy, ovipositor shining blackish, 

 about as long as the two preceding segments and covered with golden hairs on its basal 

 half. Legs entirely reddish-yellow, fore femora with two rows of short bristles on the 

 upper surface and a row of four or five much longer ones below, intermediate tibiae with 

 black apical spine. Wings hyaline with fuscous bands as follows : a longitudinal band 

 running from the base along the costa for two-thirds of the length of the wing and filling 

 up all the space between the costal and the third longitudinal vein, near its termination 

 a more or less distinct hyaline spot, a longitudinal band running from the base over the 

 anal cell (which it completely fills) and along the fifth longitudinal vein to its termination. 

 Connecting the terminations of these longitudinal bands is a transverse one which runs 

 over both transverse veins, beyond this is a second transverse band, the outer edge of 

 which is concave and commences exactly at the tip of the second longitudinal vein, and 

 a third shorter one at the extreme apex of the wing which includes the tips of the 

 third and fourth longitudinal veins. 



Hab. Molokai Mts., two males and one female, 3000 ft., September 1893.

A single specimen, unfortunately without head, from Kona, Hawaii, 4000 ft., 

 August 1892, agrees well with British examples of this species.
