330 Records of the Indian Mnsevm. [Vol. XV, 



broA\ii stripe and a small black spot below it, both in the sunken space. 

 Scutellum and metanotuni yellowish-grey ; sides of thorax moderately 

 tlark brown. 



Abdomen brownish-yellow with yellow [)ubescence ; hind margins 

 and sides of segments broadly but rather irregularly dark brown. 

 Belly similar ; genitalia concolorous. 



Legs (front and hind pair missing). Coxae dark brown, remainder 

 wholly yellow. 



Wings pale grey with four larger (though still comparatively small) 

 brown spots on costa and very numerous minute pale brown spots. 

 The first of the larger spots placed just before one-fourth of the wing, 

 reaching to hind margin of 2nd basal cell ; a similar stripe-like spot just 

 before middle of wing reaching to hind margin of 1st basal cell ; a darker 

 brown triangular spot over stigmatic region (the largest spot of all) 

 extending, gradually narrowing, over " cross veins," disappearing at 

 wing border over tip of 5th vein ; a roughly triangular preapical spot 

 with its apex reaching hind margin of 2nd submarginal cell, and an 

 apical spot extending from tip of 1st submarginal cell to 3rd posterior 

 cell. Very numerous small paler brown elongate or oval dots or spots 

 placed transversely to axis of wing in all the cells, very few being si- 

 tuated actually on the veins. Halteres pale yellow. 



Described from a unique (^ in my own collection taken by me at 

 Darjiling, 15— 19-V-17. 



Epiphragma kempi, Brun. 



Edwards has suggested the identity of this with signata, de Meij., 

 but though closely allied the wing markings are sufficiently constant 

 to warrant ranking it as distinct. Two (^ (^ and two $ 9 from the Garo 

 Hills show slight differences but are obviously all of one species. In 

 all of them the extra cross vein in the costal cell is distinctly though 

 narrowly suffused. The new species vicina is also closely allied in the 

 wing pattern but I am convinced all three are quite good species. 



Epiphragma klossi, sp. nov. 



(Plate viii, fig. 16.) 

 ^. Malay States. Long. 9 mm. 



Head cinereous ; 1st scapal joint cinereous, large, long, cylindrical ; 

 2nd dark, short ; 1st flagellar joint longer and larger than 2nd scapal, 

 orange ; rest of flagellum black ; palpi blackish-grey. 



Thorax yellowish-grey, a broad transverse blackish band in front 

 of suture, not reaching sides ; a median reddish-brown narrow stripe 

 from anterior margin, narrowing hindwards and reaching the transverse 

 band, and on each side of this stripe a longitudinally placed oval black- 

 ish spot clear of the margins, and contiguous to another similar spot on 

 lower edge of dorsal margin in front of wing base ; hind part of dorsum 

 yellowish-grey with darker marks ; scutellum and metanotum grey with 

 tomentose yellow pubescence, former a little blackish basally. 



Abdomen dark nut-brown, extreme hind margin of each segment 

 pale ; genitals concolorous.
