 i2-xi-io, taken by Dr. Annandale on a window pane : the speci- 

 men is now in the Indian Museum. 



N.B. — The conspicuous, curved chaetae on the flagellum 

 suggest that this species belongs here, and the hairy surface of the 

 wing is a second character of the genus. However, the wing is des- 

 titute of scales, except the small ones forming the spots, and the 

 species is placed here provisional h^, pending the satisfactory 

 elucidation of this group of forms.
