1918.] E. Brunetti: Oriental TipuUdae. ,331 



Wings pale grey with a brown pattern mncli resemblino- that of 

 E. kempi, Brun. The general impression of this pattern is that of 

 three circles with flattened tops ; the first near the base, reaching from 

 the costa to the 6th vein, contiguous to the 2nd circle which extends 

 from costa to 5th vein. 3rd circle more nearly oval, placed a little 

 slanting, reaching from 1st to i3th veins, the upper outer part broken 

 in upon by a longitudinal spot filling basal third of 2nd submarginal 

 cell ; a similar spot over stigmatic region, ending at tip of 1st vein. 

 Contiguous to inner end of this spot, a very small dark brown circle on 

 costa, and between this small circle and the top of the 2nd large " circle " 

 first described, a short transverse stripe from costa to 1st longitudinal 

 vein, followed (distally) by an inverted V, similarly placed. At tips of 

 upper and lower branches of 2nd longitudinal vein, a narrow spot ex- 

 tending into 2nd submarginal cell ; an oval spot over outer side of discal 

 cell, reaching to lower branch of 2nd longitudinal vein, extended down- 

 ward and curving basally across middle of 5th posterior cell and nearly 

 filling tips of anal and 1st axillary cells. Tips of 3rd vein and all endings 

 of 4th vein with a small spot on each ; the first two connected with a 

 spot covering base of 2nd posterior cell, which is itself joined narrowly 

 to the oval spot over outer side of discal cell. Anterior cross vein and 

 base of discal cell narrowly infuscated, forming a short stripe in middle 

 of 3rd " circle." From the 2nd " circle " a stripe passes through anal 

 cell, and bending distally broadens and ends on hind margin over tip 

 of axillary vein. Basal third of 2nd axillary cell brown with a square 

 spot about its middle. Extreme base of wing brown ; costa at extreme 

 base clear ; humeral cross vein narrowly infuscated, and a short stripe 

 between this and absolute base of costa. A minute dot here and 

 there contiguous to the various spots, or isolated, apparently, of irregular 

 distribution. Halteres dark grey. 



Described from a unique ^ in good condition in the Indian Museum 

 from Ginting Bidai, 2,000 ft., Selangor-Pahang Frontier, Federated 

 Malay States, April 1917 (C. Boden Kloss). 



Easily recognised from hemjn by the wholly black femora. 



Epiphragma vicina, sp. no v. 

 (Plate viii, fig. 15.) 



$. Assam. Long. 10 mm. to tip of ovipositor. 



Head yellowish-grey ; an oval blackish transverse spot on vertex, 

 continued hindwards as a gradually narrowing median stripe on occiput ; 

 a post-ocular row of stiff hairs and smaller irregular hairs. Proboscis 

 brownish-yellow ; palpi dark brown ; antennal 1st scapal joint grey, 

 2nd black, 1st flagellar joint orange, a little longer than 2nd scapal, 

 remaining joints black. 



Thorax rather bright browaiish-yellow, prothorax a little paler ; col- 

 lare with transverse dark brown mark above. Dorsum with a verv 

 short median dark stripe and two broader and rather longer outer stripes, 

 all connected narrowly on anterior margin ; these outer stripes extend- 

 ing nearly to a pair of large dark, more or less squarish spots in 

 front of suture, narrowly separated from one another. Ground colour
