black J curved ventral plate, bearing on its margin reddish hair 

 near the base and black hair posteriorly-. In the 9 the genital 

 organs consist of a rather large subconical process with dense 

 reddish or yellowish hair. In one example this organ is almost 

 wholly withdrawn within the abdomen. 



Legs black. Coxae with rather long silk}' white hair ; 

 femora and tibise with. small whitish scales, which extend, more 

 sparseh% to the tarsi. All the femora with soft hairs below and 

 some irregular weak bristles. The tibite generally with small, 

 apparently irregularly^ placed spines, the most regular being a 

 row on the outer side of the hhid tibiae. All the legs minutely 

 pubescent. 



Wings almost clear, first posterior cell rather widely open ; 

 fifth generalh' narrowly open, but in two specimens closed exactly 

 on the margin ; the lower side of the discal cell occasionally with 

 the beginning of a very small appendix. Costal cell and extreme 

 base of wing, brownish yellow ; subcostal cell dark brown, very 

 narrow. Fork of the third longitudinal vein sharply angled, and 

 with only a tendency to appendiculation (which actually occurs 

 only in two or three specimens, in two of which, moreover, there is 

 an additional veinlet in one vving only, this veinlet producing the 

 cell usuaih^ characteristic of Flyperalonia). 



A dark brown suft"usion, distinct but small, occurs at the 

 base of the second vein, joined to that over the inner cross-vein ; 

 suffusions also at the angle of the fork of the third vein ; over the 

 outer cross- vein, the colour carried upwards along the inner side 

 of the d'scal cell ; also over the lower extremity of the veinlet, 

 connecting the two branches of the fourth longitudinal. 



Costa minutely spinose, with the usual spiny portion at the 

 base, Halteres light brown, tip of club creamy. Tegulse milk- 

 white, with snow-white hair. Alulae concolorous with wing, bear- 

 ing a fringe of minute black hairs. 



Described from several of each sex taken at Bhogaon, Purneah 

 district (N. Bengal), 19— 26-iii-09, by Mr. Paiva. These were in 

 good condition and quite uniform in the specific characters. The 

 Indian Museum also has a specimen from Sahelwa, Bahraich 

 district (United Provinces, India}, ii-iii-09 [Hodgart]. 



Argyramoeba fallax, Meij. 



One 2 from Calcutta, i-vi-09, presuming my previous iden- 

 tification of the species to be correct. 



Argyramoeba distigma, W. 



Several taken by Dr. Annandale, i6-iv-09, at Paresnath (West 

 Bengal) on the edge of a small mountain stream at an elevation 

 of 2,000 feet, and again at an elevation of 4,400 feet. One 9
