14 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. IV, 



Time of capture 6-viii-07, " resting on under side of leaf of 

 lichi tree during day" (C. Paiva) (i 9 ). 



Observations. — Described from a single perfect 9 . It clearly 

 comes in a new genus, related to Lutz's Carrollia. The very 

 marked thoracic, abdominal and leg ornamentation will at once 

 separate it from any species coming in the Stegomyian group. 

 The ventral abdominal tufts are very marked.

Note. — These answer exactly to Leicester's carefully described 

 species, but one 9 shows distinct white abdominal basal bands 

 and also the cf ; the second 9 is quite typical.

& . Head brown with pale scales ; palpi longer than probos- 

 cis by about the apical segment, which is slightly shorter than the 

 penultimate, deep brown, the last two segments with bright basal 

 creamy bands and flaxen brown and brown hair tufts, long on the
