276 Records of tlte Indian Mvseinn. [Vol. 'X.V. 



Described from two $ 9 sent by Mr. Bainbrigge Fletcber from the 

 Hazara District, Dimgagali, 8,000 ft., 21-24-V-15. Tyj:e presented by 

 Mr. Fletcher to the British Museum, cotype in the Pusa collection. 



A species quite distinct from the others but yet possessing no strik- 

 ingly distinctive character. 



Pachyrhina parvinotata, sp. nov. 



^ $. N.-W. Indian Frontier. Long. 15 mm. to tip of ovipositor. 



This species bears a considerable resemblance to my dorsopunctata , 

 but differs essentially as follows. 



9v The outer thoracic stripes curve distinctly downwards at their 

 tips and are brown not black, in some specimens less distinct than the 

 median stripe ; the abdominal marks are small and rounded, not tri- 

 angular (in dorscpunctata they sometimes nearly cove^' the dorsum 

 of the segment) ; the 2nd posterior cell is much shorter, barely twice as 

 long as the discal cell. 



These differences appear constant in the four females before me, 

 three coming from Taru, Peshawar District, 16 — 29-V-15 and one from 

 Haripur Hazara, North-West Frontier 27-V-15. 



What is no doubt a male of the same species has the abdomen almost 

 wholly brownish -yellow, without distinct spots, the last two segments 

 being black above. It is from Taru taken in company with the females. 



Type ^ and $ presented by Mr. Fletcher to the British Museum^ 

 cotypes in Pusa collection. 



Pachyrhina hypocrites, sp. nov. 



^ $. Darjiling. Long. 10-11 mm. 



Head, palpi and antennae black, but frons more or less dull brownish- 

 orange. 



Thorax and abdomen bright orange, last three or fouL abdominal 

 segments and geni aha black. 



Legs black ; coxae, trochanters and femora for a short distance at 

 base orange. 



Wings moderately dark grey, stigma distinct but not conspicuous, 

 blackish ; halteres blackish. 



Described from 3 ^ (^ and 2 $ $ from Sureil, Darjiling District, 5,000 

 ft., iv-v-17 [Kan])). In the Indian Museum. 



This species is extraordinarily like a specimen taken at the same time 

 which I have identified as probably Tipula melanomera, Walk, only the 

 different venation and structure of the genitalia separating them.
