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



first joint of the tarsi yellow. Wings brownish, the veins 

 brownish , with an appendix ; the apical band double ; the openings 

 of the posterior cells mostly light coloured. 



Length 9 mm. 



Type (male) differs in the third joint of the antennae being 

 broader and shorter, the forehead grey, with a large oblong brown 

 spot. The abdomen is redder brown, with a distinct grey stripe; 

 the scutellum wholly grey, the fore tarsi not so broad, the wings 

 and the base of the tarsi more white than yellow, the apical line 

 of the wing broader. Ricardo, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), xviii, 

 p. 122. 



The short first joint of antennae — shorter than the first 

 annulation of the third joint— and the triangular shape of the 

 yellowish frontal callus distinguishes this species from H. tessellata, 

 Ricardo. 



(6) Both branches of apical band separate, starting from op- 

 posite borders of wing and usually overlapping in the 

 middle. 



Hacmatopota bilineata, 9 , n. sp. 



(Plate xviii, fig. 34.) 



In Brit. Mus. coll. type (female) and another. In Indian 

 Museum females, all from Igatpuri, Bombay, 2,000 ft. (H. 

 Maxwell Lefroy). 



A species distinguished by the narrow apical band of wing 

 composed of two short lineal bands, each starting from opposite 

 sides and overlapping at ends, the lower branch often broken up 

 into spots, the wing is dark brown, with the pale markings distinct 

 chiefly as small round spots, four rosettes are clearly outlined. 

 The first joint of antennae is considerably incrassate. Face with 

 a band and lower spot. Frontal callus narrow. Paired spots 

 large, touching eyes and frontal callus. Abdomen brown with 

 grey segmentations. Length type 7 mm. , others 8 — 9I mm. Dis- 

 tinguished from H. cingalensis , Ricardo, by the shorter incrassate 

 first antennal joint. 



Face grey, the band between antennae and eyes dark brown, 

 in some specimens partially broken up into spots, an oblong 

 brown spot is present below. Palpi pale reddish with black pubes- 

 cence. Antennae dusky reddish, the first two joints shining black, 

 the first joint incrassate, as long as first annulation of the third 

 joint, the second very small, cup-shaped, both with black pubes- 

 cence, the third slender, very little wider at base, and the apex 

 not very narrow. Frontal callus shining, blackish brown, narrow, 

 its upper border straight, the lower one concave in centre, a black 

 spot apparent between the antennae. Paired spots large, black, 

 oblong, their upper apices touching frontal callus, and their base 

 reaching eyes, unpaired spot black, small. Thorax brownish 

 with short yellow pubescence, stripes not apparent (denuded ).
