behind the shoulder, another rather behind and below it ; three abov« 

 front coxae ; one each on pteropleura and sternopleura. 



Abdomen brownish-yellow, basal half of all segments blackish-brown. 



Legs brownish-yellow, tarsi tips shghtly darker. 



Winys pale grey, stigma small, over marginal cross vein. 



Described from a single ^ in the Indian Museum from Talewadi, 

 near Castle Rock, N. Kanara District, 9 — lO-x-16 {Kem'p). 



The conspicuous spots on the anterior part of the thorax distinguishes 

 this species from all others.

This synonymy is evident, and I cannot understand how I came to 

 overlook Meigen's genus. 



My C. aniennatus therefore comes here. Alexander would also 

 sink my Atypo-phtlialmns in Ehipidia, but it is cei'tainly distinct as the 

 antennae are normally constituted, without the appendages as in Rhi- 

 pidia.

LIBNOTES, Westw. 



This genus is simply a Limnobia with the distal cells conspicuously 

 elongated, but two other venational characters appear to be tolerably 

 constant. The 2nd vein originates not in the usual curve as in Limnobia 

 but is straight in its basal section, and the base of the submarginal cell is 

 in the same straight line, and at the origin of the 3rd vein the 2nd turns 

 very sharply upwards at an acute angle. The other character is that 

 the 2nd posterior cell is generally considerably longer than the 3rd by 

 encroaching extensively on the upper outer corner of the discal cell. 

 Osten Sacken however, mentions seven species in which this is not the 

 case. 



Both L. thwaitesiana, Westw. and L. poeciloptera, Meij. were in- 

 advertently omitted from my " Fauna " volume. The former has been 

 taken in Calcutta, 5-viii-08 {Annandale) and at Peradeniya, Ceylon,
