absent; the two spots forming the apical band and the small 

 transverse bars usually formed of two spots continued round the 

 posterior border of wing, and the absence of any pale markings in 

 the apices of cell on posterior border of wing distinguish this 

 species from others ; two rosettes are fairly distinct. The frontal 

 callus is broad, triangular, being produced on its upper border, 

 the paired spots touch the eyes but not the frontal callus, an 

 indistinct reddish spot appears between the antennae. The first 

 joint of antennae is yellowish cylindrical, not quite so long as the 

 first annulation of the third joint, the second joint yellow, the 

 third is slender, dusky reddish, but black at apex. Legs : in one 

 specimen the fore legs are blackish, in the other the same colour 

 as the remaining ones, viz., reddish, white at the base in both 

 specimens.

One male from Moeara Laboe, and one female from Alahan. 



Both agree so nearly with Macquart's description as regards 

 the design of the wing that I do not hesitate to ascribe them to 

 this species ; a male from Silago probably belongs here but is not 

 in good condition and is set in such a manner that it cannot be 

 distinctly identified. The male from Moeara Laboe is 8 mm. long ; 

 the antennae are wholly black or black-brown ; the first joint is 

 little stoutei than the following ones, and very shining ; the eyes
