Wings grey, shining, moderately iridescent ; four posterior cells. 

 Marginal cross vein present, joined to the short oblique upper branch of 

 2nd vein ; 2nd submarginal cell distinctly longer than 1st posterior.

 before its middle. Halteres obscurely yellowish, ti])s darker. 



Described from a short series of ^ (^ from Castle Rock, N. Kanara 

 District, 1 1 — 26-x- 1 6 {Kemp). 



This species is without any special character, but may be easily re- 

 cognised from the table of species. 



It bears considerable resemblance to glabra but possesses only four 

 posterior cells.

Wings yellowish with dark brown markings. A transverse streak 

 just beyond humeral cross vein, carried along bases of both basal cells, 

 narrowing gradually ; a moderately narrow stripe from costa to 4th 

 vein, situated at one-third the length of the wing ; a similar stripe 

 widening hindwards, from costa to 4th vein, passing over base of 3rd 

 vein ; an apparent continuation of this stripe, only narrower, begin- 

 ning at 5th vein and reaching hind border of wing ; a stripe, comprising 

 within it some clear spots, beginning on costa at tip of 1st vein, con- 

 tinuing over the " cross veins " to 5th vein, where it turns slightly out- 

 wards, ending irregularly on wing border ; this stripe being wide enough 

 to include a comparatively clear narrow space on each side of the " cross 

 veins".; a branch of this stripe diverging at 3rd vein, continuing over 

 distal side of discal cell, where it divides, the ends reaching the wing 

 border over tips of two last endings of 4th vein in the shape of spots with 

 a clearer centre ; a similar spot over tip of 2nd posterior cell ; a short 

 vertical stripe from costa over marginal cross vein ending at lower
