306 Records of the Indian Mvsciini. [Vol. XY, 



Legs. — Coxae reddish-brown ; femora and tibiae brownish-yellow, 

 former broadly black at tips, latter more narrowly so ; tarsi brownish, 

 darkening to black at tips. All legs with short pale pubescence. 



Wings pale yellow, a yellowish-brown suffusion over tip of 1st vein, 

 carried downwards along the cross-veins as far as the 5th longitudinal 

 vein ; a similar small suffusion over base of 2nd vein. Costal cell 

 yellowish ; halteres bright brownish-yellow. 



Described, from a unique ^J in the Indian Museum from Peradeniya. 

 Ceylon, 11-viii-lO. 



Teucholabis ornata, Brun., var. assamensis, nov. 



This differs from the typical form from Ceylon simply by the wings 

 being marked only by the deep black stigma with barely a suggestion of 

 suffusion along the transverse veins. The femora are black for about 

 their apical third and the tibiae and tarsi wholly black. 



One ^, Shillong, 5,500-6,400 ft., 29-viii— 5-ix-15 {Kemp). 



? Teucholabis, sp. 



An interesting $ specimen in the Indian Museum from Parambi- 

 kulam, Cochin State, 1,700—3,200 ft., 16— 24-ix-14 {Gravelg), presents 

 the venation of this genus except that the submarginal cell is consider- 

 ably longer than the 1st posterior. The antennae, apparently 16- 

 jointed, differ from the TevcJwlabis form ; the basal joints of the fla- 

 gellum are very indistinctly separated, and covered with minute pubes- 

 cence which renders their separation more difficult ; the more distal 

 ones are much longer and more easily defined. The legs (only one leg, 

 a hind one, remains) are long and slender, much more so than is usual 

 in this genus. The wings are yellowish, with numerous small brown 

 marks, the thorax yellowish with two long median black stripes and two 

 outer shorter ones ; the pleurae very dark brown with a narrow pale 

 horizontal stripe along the middle. The abdomen is yellowish-brown ; 

 the coxae nearly white ; the legs brownish-yellow, becoming white on 

 the tarsi ; tips of hind femora white, with a narrow dark ring preceding 

 it. Long, nearly 6 millim. to tip of ovipositor. 



? Teucholabis, sp. nov, 



A single damaged ^ taken by Mr. Kemp at Castle Rock, N. Canara 

 District, 11 — 26-X-16, shews the pecuharity of the 2nd longitudinal vein 

 being forked just beyond the marginal vein, the fork ending in the costa 

 just beyond the tip of the 1st longitudinal. It is a yellow species ; the 

 thorax with a rather broad deep black median stripe and a black spot 

 towards each side behind the suture ; the abdomen with the basal half 

 of each segment black ; the antennae black except the scape ; the wings 

 as in my insignis, with the difference that the costa is clear except from 

 the stripe that extends over the cross veins to the tip of the wing, which 

 is broadly suffused, as far basally as the distal side of the discal cell. 

 The only two remaining legs (detached) are black, the femora slightly 

 thickened towards tips and with a sub-apical yellow ring. Long. 6 mm.
